    I know you can purchase the dining plan if you exchange through RCI, but are you eligible for the free dining if it's offered and you still purchase your tickets through Disney? Thank you”

    Hi Eric,

    Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel. It sounds like you are either the lucky recipient of exchange through RCI or a fellow Disney Vacation Club Member. Either way, Welcome Home!

    I love the flexibility that Disney Vacation Club membership provides, and one of it’s best “global” options is RCI. This fantastic program allows you to vacation at superb Resorts across the world AND at Disney properties. From time to time, RCI will run a special where you can reserve a room and ticket package and then dine free, but I did a quick sEARch, and there are currently no dining specials. Keep on checking the RCI website though; you never know when magical dining might appear!

    In the meantime, take advantage of being a Walt Disney World Resort Guest! You can make dining reservations up to 180 days before your stay, and I suggest my favorite restaurant on property Sanaa - the Butter Chicken is delicious, and the animals are fantastic! You can also use FastPass+ to book your place in line at your favorite attractions 60 days before your stay. Download the My Disney Experience app, link your reservation and tickets, and you will have everything at your fingertips!

    Eric, if you are a Disney Vacation Club Member, feel free to contact Member Services with any additional questions. If you are an RCI member, give them a shout! Hope this answered your question, please come back with any more!
