Hiya Donnie,
Welcome to planDisney! Dining at Walt Disney World is one of my favorite topics, so I am super excited to answer your question today! The
dining plans can be a great way to plan your meals and save money. My family and I just used it on our most recent vacation and enjoyed trying snacks and meals we wouldn’t normally try (it became a mini competition for us to try not to use our credits on anything we always get).
Donnie, the dining plans can be added to existing Vacation Package reservations (which include both your stay at a Disney resort hotel and theme park tickets). This addition can be made online through
My Disney Experience. To do so, log onto your account, click My Plans, locate your reservation, and then click Change or Modify your reservation. If you do not see the option to do so or need additional assistance, reach out to a Cast Member in
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations. They can look at your specific reservation type, determine if you can add on a dining plan, and add it for you!
I hope this was helpful, Donnie. Before I let you go, two of my favorite pals, Greg and Mandy, just did a little video on their favorite use of a snack credit that is perfect for anyone planning to use the dining plans. I highly recommend checking it out below! Please come back and see us if you need anything else.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
