    Can I book a package (resort and tickets) for my travel party when I am an annual passholders, but the others are not. I want to add a dining plan, but I don't need tickets for me.

    Welcome back to planDisney, LeAnna!

    Well, you have just included two of my favorite things about Walt Disney World: Annual Passes and a Disney Dining Plan!

    LeAnna, my husband and I are Annual Passholders, too, and we especially enjoy the freedom we feel from not having to even think about additional ticket costs when returning to the magic throughout the year. Multiple visits for one price--plus Annual Passholder Perks such as discounts on select ticket dates for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, included standard parking at theme parks, shopping and dining discounts, and so much more. What a great deal!

    We love adding a Disney Dining Plan, too, so that we have that same worry-free vacation--knowing that we've prepaid for meals, snacks, and that perfect souvenir: that adorable Resort-Refillable Drink Mug. To do so, LeAnna, I suggest you call a Cast Member at the Help Center using the number that's dedicated to Annual Passholders. They'll be able to set you up with your hotel reservation, then add a Dining Plan for you. 

    A Dining Plan can be added to a WDW package and it must include your entire party, but those talented Cast Members at the Help Center can add what you need without including extra park tickets. As an Annual Passholder, you don't need them. Easy peasy for those CMs to sprinkle that pixie dust on your vacation!

    LeAnna, as you put together your plans for a visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth, be sure to send those planning questions our way. We love to help!
