    This fall I plan on booking a Disney World trip for mid Aug 17. I will be paying for the Disney Dining Plan and making the reservations as soon as the system lets me. If free dining is offered for my dates, could I get a refund and keep my reservations?

    Hi, Scott!
    Thanks for reaching out to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.

    You are my kind of Walt Disney World Resort planner! I also tend to purchase my vacation packages as soon as I possibly can. But I do keep an eye on the Special Offers page to see if any deals pop up that fit my travel dates. A number of my visits ended up matching a Disney Dining Plan deal. 

    To take advantage of the deals, I just called the Disney Resort Hotel Reservations phone line and talked to a Cast Member to see how I can qualify. 

    You have a lot of time to plan an epic trip to Walt Disney World Resort! Let me know if I can help answer any additional planning questions along the way.

I’m a mom, wife and goldendoodle dog owner who is not afraid to ride a fast roller coaster again and again. I love to travel - which is good since I telework with a job in Washington, DC. I’ve visited Disneyland and Walt Disney World multiple times and it’s fed into my belief that you’re never too old to have fun. I run when I can and recently earned my runDisney Coast to Coast medal! I also love photography and founded an online special needs community. Learn More About Jen
