Question Regarding Dining Plan

[DizFan101]

I have a question regarding the Dining plan.
I have been going to disney w/ the dining plan since 05 and never really saw this before. I was on disneyworld.com this morning and saw what you get w/ the Magic Your Way Ticket plus dining (basic)

it states you get

-All the Magical Extras included in the Magic Your Way Package
- Room accommodations of your choice(?)
- One table
- One Quick
- One Snack
- Admission to select grand gathering experiences (8+ people)

My question is:

What exactly is Room Accommodations of your choice?

I did look under Disney Dining Plan post and did not see anything regarding this option - which is why i am asking.

It means you can book any of the Disney resorts and get the DDP.

I think that is kind of stupid because you are already selecting to be on location when you pick the hotel as part of the package deal. I am on chat w/ someone from disney now and they say i can pick my room choice... ??
But i thought requesting a room is like an extra fee?

You're interpreting the writing a different way than Disney is. They mean you can select any type room at any Disney resort and get the DDP if you book a qualifying package reservation. If you want a specific room type within that resort, and the room type costs extra over a standard room, you have to pay the extra for the room type. It does not mean that you can choose a premium room type at no extra cost.

If you just want to make a room request, there's no extra charge for that (and no guarantee you will get your request)...but if you choose a room type that costs extra, like a water view room, you will be paying for it.

i know that.
but i don't think they should say it's included w/ the dining plan.
last year however, i asked to be placed near the buses and they didn't really cost me any extra fee. lol.
Always good to ask.

PS: I just booked my vacation! Woo-hoo. Now on to the ADR's...

This is what the Cast member Said:

Bonnie Jo: Awesome! Sounds like you know what you are doing! (smile) If you are happy with the package you have created, I recommend clicking the orange “Book Now” button at the bottom of your page. With a $200 refundable deposit paid online, you can guarantee the exact resort, room type and package you are looking at right now. You have up to 45 days prior to arrival to make changes if you need to!

They aren't saying any room type you want is included with the dining plan. The dining plan is a package add-on and doesn't have anything to do with what type of room you select. At any rate, a basic request like "near transportation" is not a room type, it's just a request. You don't pay extra for it, and it's not guaranteed.

They certainly aren't implying that you can say "I want room 567 at the Wilderness Lodge" and guarantee that because you got a dining plan.

 

[DizFan101]

i quite understand that.
lol.

Right... "Room TYPE" as in "Garden View, Standard View", and so on.

ANd it's not included in the dining plan. It's included in the Magic Your Way plus Dining plan.

Clarification

Right... "Room TYPE" as in "Garden View, Standard View", and so on.

ANd it's not included in the dining plan. It's included in the Magic Your Way plus Dining plan PACKAGE.

That's what it means - a room is included when you buy the package. By definition, a package includes a room and tickets and may also include a dining plan. I also don't find it confusing but glad the OP got it worked out.
