Okay, let me tell you I am sooooo pissed right now. I am not the worlds most observant person, so I did not even know there had been a change to the dining plan until tonight. I booked a last minute trip last week, and will be heading to WDW from Jan. 27th - Feb. 1st. I purchased the dining plan because I loved the ease last time we were there, and it would be a good value for us. I even purchased one day tickets that I don't need because I have seasonal passes, all so I could get the dining plan. Well, thank the Lord while reading a thread tonight I saw that gratuity was no longer included, and then I saw that the appetizer was no longer included. Now I just want to cancel the dang plan!!!! So, since I already paid with a credit card for the package, can I now cancel it, and just book a room? If so, how will the money be refunded to me, and how long will it take to get it back? It is definitely not a value for me any longer since the appetizer and gratuity is no longer included. Disney will be getting far less of my money this trip due to their dining plan changes.
Also let me add, that not once while booking my package was I told of any changes whatsoever to the dining plan.
