Hi Marilyn,
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thank you for asking us another question.
The short answer to your first question is "yes... and no". From what I understand, all
Special Offers, including the "Stay Play and Dine" (i.e. Free Dining) promotion, are often limited to a certain number of reservations at each Walt Disney World Resort hotel. If you already have a
Magic Your Way Vacation Package booked, you will have to cancel it and re-book it with a Resort that offers the Free Dining promotion. You may get lucky and be able to get a package that is identical to the one you had initially booked, but there is a chance that you may not. In that case, you'll have to choose a different room type/Resort if you want to take advantage of the special offer, or you'll have to stick with your original package (and cost).
If and when a special offer comes out and it could be applicable during your upcoming vacation dates, you’ll have to contact Walt Disney World Resort by phone in order to make the changes to your existing reservation because you won’t be able to make this change online.
Please don’t hesitate to come back and see us if you have any other questions!
Have a Magical Day,
Lynne
