Room only with dining plan and annual passes.

[nanalisa]

We are staying at Art of Animation (Cars) with 3 adults and 2 kids (ages 6 and 2). Dh and I have annual passes, my son and grandson do not. Can we still get the dining plan for all of us and do I just purchase tickets in advance for son and grandson? Thanks goodness baby doesn't need a dining plan or tickets! My granddaughter is in the Disney College Program, if this matters.

I would definitely call the reservations line as they might be able to wrap everything up in one. If you play around with the annual passholder room only discounts for fall, though, I believe you'll see that you can add dining for everyone online but it only works with annual passholder rates. I believe you can call the reservations line to add dining to any other rate as a passholder. ...I think...I'm new to this whole passholder thing.

No such thing as a room only with dining plan, but if you call and you tell them exactly what you want, you can book a ticketless package. As noted, annual passholders may be able to do this online if they go through the passholder site and there are AP discounts available. But that reservation won't be a room-only, it'll be a package, so package payment and cancellation rules apply.

If you already have the room reservation, you'll need to call to get it changed over to a ticketless package.

Thank you. I knew this was too big for me to handle. Calling Disney tonight.

Looks like you go a lot. If you dine at Disney often it may be better for you to look into Tables in Wonderland. It gives you 20% discount off of table service food and drinks including alcohol, you pay to get it so you have to get to a certain threshold for it to may sense. Another plus is that it gives you free valet parking when you are eating at a resort.

You often have to eat at the most expensive restaurants and select expensive food to make the dining plan cost less then out of pocket.
