Hello, Jennifer!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I'm so glad that you stopped by with a question for us!
It sounds like you are planning a magical
Walt Disney World Resort vacation. I'm sure you and your family will make some wonderful memories and enjoy every minute of it! Plus Fall is such a wonderful time to visit with such fabulous events like
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and
Epcot International Food & Wine Festival.
If you've already made your resort reservation and added a
Disney Dining Plan, then all you'll need to do is let the Cast Member know that you'll be using your dining plan credits when you make your reservations at any of the restaurants that require pre-payment like
Cinderella's Royal Table. If you happen to make these reservations online, then you can either call
dining reservations or wait until you arrive to let the Cast Member know that you'll be using your dining credits instead, and you will receive a refund for the amount that you prepaid. It's just that simple!
Jennifer, I hope this helps to answer your question and please stop back by if you think of anything else. Have a magical day and happy planning!
