Hi Katy,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
As long as your reservations are indeed separate, you should be able to add a dining plan to one of the reservations. Simply call and speak to a cast member at 407-939-5277. When you select a dining plan, I do hope you consider the
Disney Dining Plan or the Disney Deluxe Dining Plan. My family has enjoyed both although we now prefer the
Disney Deluxe Dining Plan because of the flexibility it offers.
As you make your dining plans, I do hope you are making
advanced dining reservations. Restaurants book quickly, especially for character meals. I will say that we prefer a dining plan because it includes beverages with meals and snack entitlements are also included. When we have not done a dining plan, we find ourselves deciding not to get a beverage or snacks because of the additional expense. When I have done a price comparison, I have discovered that purchasing a dining plan actually saves my family money given that we prefer to eat three meals per day and we love the snacks.
Katy, I trust that you will have wonderful dining experiences while on vacation!
Magic, memories and Minnie Mouse hugs,
Donyell
