    Can a dining plan be added to a paid in full reservation?

    Hi, Lauren!

    The Disney Dining Plan is a great way to pre-pay for your meals during your magical Walt Disney World vacation. I like the added bonus of the refillable mug to use at the resort so I can sip on my soft drink while lounging at the pool. While I love being in the theme parks, nothing beats a nice mid-day break back at the beautiful resort pools!

    The Disney Dining Plan can be added to a Disney Resort Hotel Package that includes your room and theme park tickets. If you purchased these items separately then you are unable to add on the Dining Plan.

    Let's assume you booked the vacation package. If so, go to DisneyWorld.com and click on My Plans under the My Disney Experience tab. You will want to click on Change Reservation. You may be able to add on the Dining Package from here, but depending on how you booked your reservation, your arrival date, and your reservation type, this might not be an online option. If you cannot make the desired changes, give a call to a helpful Cast Member who can look into your options. 

    If you are unable to add on the Dining Plan, the good news is that you will still be able to enjoy all the amazing Dining Locations but will pay as you go. With or without the Dining Plan, plan ahead by making your Dining Reservations up to 60 days in advance. 

    Wishing you many magical and delicious meals while visiting Walt Disney World!
