Welcome to planDisney, Amanda!
You are in for The Most Magical vacation when staying at
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort to kick off a great, big, beautiful New Year. From the beach at this Resort hotel, you'll enjoy viewing Magic Kingdom Park's fireworks over the Seven Seas Lagoon. And what could be better than that? Having a DOLE Whip from the
Pineapple Lanai in hand, of course.
Let's talk about taking advantage of one of the
Disney dining plans. In order to tack on the Disney Dining Plan or Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan, your reservation must be a Disney Resort Hotel Package that was booked through Walt Disney World Resort. If you have a room-only reservation (with no included theme park tickets), you can't add a dining plan to your reservation. If you would like to add on a dining plan and you don't have a Disney Vacation Package, you would need to cancel the room-only reservation, and then book a vacation package.
If you're all set with your existing Disney Vacation Package, you can add a dining plan in your My Disney Experience account. Log in and find "My Plans." Once you've found your reservation, select "Change Reservation." From there, you can modify your reservation and add a dining plan. You may also call a friendly Cast Member via the
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations hotline. They will be more than happy to add a dining plan to your vacation.
I hope that this helps, Amanda. If you have any additional Disney vacation planning questions, please revisit us here at planDisney.
I'm all ears! Magic always,
LeAndra
