Vacation Club and Dining Plan questions

[autumnl78]

We are planning on using our vacation club membership for the first time this fall. And I've read the "read these" about the meal plan but am still a bit lost. I have a few questions.
1) Can we get meal plan? It looks like we can but would have to buy standard tickets not season passes to use it.
2) We are taking friends, they would need to buy meal plan with their tickets correct?
3) Can we do like a 4 day ticket with meal plan but take a day off from the parks in the middle and NOT loose a meal plan day or do we need to go all 4 days in a row?

Thanks so much for any help. I've been put in charge of pulling together a trip for 7 adults and I just am getting a bit overwhelmed lol.

1) The admission purchase requirement does not apply to DVC members using DVC points at DVC resorts. You can purchase the Dining Plan without purchasing additional admission.

2) All folks registered on the DVC reservation must purchase the Dining Plan (or no one can). The exemption from the admission purchase requirement applies to everyone registered on the DVC reservation, not just the members.

3) The Dining Plan is associated strictly with your DVC reservation, NOT admission tickets. There is an admission purchase requirement for non-DVCers, but the Dining Plan still is associated with the hotel reservation, not the admission tickets.

These questions are answered in the Dining Plan FAQ for this forum. You probably will want to read the FAQ, as it perhaps has a lot of other important information about using the Dining Plan that you'll want to know. For example, the number of credits you get is associated with the number of nights of your trip, not the number of days.
