Welcome Emily!
We're so thankful you've visited the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your great Walt Disney World Resort vacation question. I'm thrilled to help you plan your next magical adventure.
The
Disney Dining Plans are available to Guests as a part of a
Magic Your Way vacation package which includes a stay in a Disney Resort Hotel and theme park admission tickets. In most scenarios, you are indeed able to modify your existing reservation to upgrade to a package that includes a Disney Dining Plan. Unfortunately, however, the Walt Disney World Resort Dolphin is not a Disney-owned Resort Hotel and therefore does not participate in the Disney Dining Plan.
Make sure you check out the
Special Offers page of the Walt Disney World Resort website, as certain times of the year you'll find great package discounts that include the Disney Dining Plan.
Have a wonderful time planning your pixie-dusted vacation, Emily, and please let us know if you have any other questions.
Magical Wishes,
Lauren
