Quick Service Dining Plan with Moderate Resort?

[lathamary]

Disclaimer: I am not privy to all the acronyms and other disboard lingo. Bear with me.

I was told on an online chat (you know how they have that on the Disney World website - you can chat with a representative) that, with the Stay, Play, Dine, and Save package I could choose the quick service dining plan with a moderate resort. I couldn't book it that way online, so I called.

The representative I talked to said that I couldn't.

Hmm. Who is right?

I went ahead and booked the Carribean Beach Resort with the regular Dining Plan, but if I call and talk to someone else what are the chances that I could change it to quick service?

Our four year old has Autism, and sitting town at a table service meal is rarely a pleasant experience. I don't want to pay for the plan with table service meals if we're only going to do quick service meals.

Any thoughts?

To my knowledge, there has never been a way to downgrade to QSDP when being offered the regular DDP as part of a moderate package. You would need to stay at a value to do the QSDP if you want to do the s/p/d offer. You can now use a TS credit for a CS meal, so if you must stay in a moderate then you can still act as though it is the QSDP, but not sure if it makes sense financially.

like pp said- you can use ts for cs if you wish- or simply not use all your credits.

i''m in the uk so it could well be different, but after having the ddp the first time, i realised this was not the right fit for our family either-
so the following year, i requested changing our dining plan to qsdp-however there was a cost of over £1000 to downgrade!?

we therefore stuck with what we had and did not utilise our ts credits.

You can use TS credits for CS meals if you prefer.

Sounds good. Thanks!

You can always book the Winter Room only offer at CBR and then add the tickets and Quick Service dining ala carte.

I'm not sure exactly what discount I used. I asked for the Disney Visa discount. I am booked at Coronado Springs in February with QSDP. When I priced changing to DDP online, it looks like it's about $500 more than I'm currently paying (3 adults for 9 nights). I plan to call though to see what the difference is to switch. We may drop dining altogether.
