Hi Yvonne!
Thanks for visiting the Moms Panel with your fantastic question!
Don't worry at all ... this type of situation does come up frequently as Guests make plans and then decide to upgrade their
Disney Dining Plan to the Deluxe level once reservations have already been made.
All it takes is a simple phone call to one of the friendly Cast Members at Disney Dining. Have your dining confirmation numbers handy at the time of your call, as well as your Magic Your Way Vacation reservation number.
Call Disney Dining at (407) WDW-DINE and advise the Cast Member that you have some previously booked, pre-paid, dinner shows and signature dining experiences, and have now upgraded your reservation to include the Deluxe Disney Dining Plan. The Cast Member will adjust the credit to your credit card accordingly and connect those normally pre-paid reservations to your Disney Dining Plan. Keep in mind that a credit card is still kept on file as per the Terms and Conditions of each reservation. Upon arrival at each of your reservations, simply advise the Hostess Stand and your Server that you are using the Deluxe Disney Dining Plan and your card will be verified and the credits deducted accordingly at the time of your reservation!
You'll be all set in no time!
I hope this information helps you out and puts your mind at ease. Please feel free to write me back any time as I'd love to assist you further with your plans Yvonne!
Wishing you a simply Magical time at Walt Disney World!
