Hi there, Brenda!
Welcome to
planDisney! You found the most magical place on the Internet where a group of devoted fans of all things Disney come together to help make your vacation dreams come true. Let's talk dining!
Dining plans can only be added to vacation packages booked directly with the Walt Disney World Travel Company. Unfortunately, you can't modify a reservation with a third party, like Air Canada, to include a dining plan.
I know this is different from what you hoped to hear, Brenda. At this point, you have a few options. If a dining plan is essential to your holiday plans and you are still within the cancellation timeline with your Air Canada vacation package, you could nullify that booking and reserve your trip directly on the
Walt Disney World website. Please confirm that your preferred
hotel is still available as a vacation package booking on the Walt Disney World site before canceling anything you already have.
If that's not possible, and pre-paying your expenses appeals to you, before your trip, consider purchasing a pre-paid debit card or Visa gift card for the amount you would have spent on a dining plan. Once you arrive in the United States, you can also purchase Disney Gift Cards to cover dining costs. You can find these at the Orlando International Airport Magic of Disney store and your resort gift shop. Use remaining funds for souvenirs, or save them for a future visit. Disney Gift Cards never expire and can be used in theme parks, resorts, and onboard
Disney Cruise Line.
I hope this has been helpful, Brenda. Best wishes for a magical holiday, and if there's anything else we at planDisney can do to make it even more special, please write back. Thanks again for visiting us, and have a bibbidi bobbidi beautiful day!
Cheers,
Betsy
