Hiya Patricia,
Welcome to planDisney! You’ve certainly come to the right place for your question, and I’m excited to be a part of your planning journey.
Dining plans can be a fantastic way to add convenience to your vacation and allow you to think about one less thing while you are basking in the magic of Walt Disney World Resort. We actually just added a dining plan to our upcoming trip after considering our dining needs.
There are two ways to add a dining plan to your vacation, Patricia. First is when you are making reservations for a
Walt Disney World Resort Vacation Package. A Vacation Package is created when you purchase your theme park tickets with a reservation at one of Walt Disney World’s resort hotels. You can add the Quick Service or Disney Dining Plan when you make your reservation. To set it up, select the resort hotel you want to stay in (and your room choice), choose the number of days and the ticket type for your vacation, and then add your chosen dining plan. If you have already booked a vacation package, there is still time to add a dining plan. You can contact a Cast Member for assistance or modify your vacation package through My Disney Experience. Log into “
My Plans,” select your vacation package resort reservation, and click “Change Reservation.”
I hope this was helpful, Patricia. Before I let you go, I’d love to share another tip for the dining plans. If you haven’t made reservations yet, check out the
Special Offers on the Walt Disney Website. Currently, there is a
special deal that will give you a free dining plan during your planned visit. Hopefully, it is a glass slipper fit for you! Please come back and see us if you need anything else.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
