Hi Maria,
One of the main advantages of the Disney Dining Plan is that reservations that
would otherwise require pre-payment will not require pre-payment for
Guests wishing to use their dining plan.
When making your dining reservations at restaurants normally requiring
pre-payment, you will need to click on where it says "I want to use my
dining plan to book reservations" which you can see at the bottom of the
blue box
HERE.
You will then be asked to provide your confirmation number, last name
and arrival date which will associate your dining plan to your dining
reservations. You will then be able to make your reservations without
having to pre-pay.
Please note that you will still be required to enter your credit card
details in order to guarantee the dining reservation but, your credit
card will not be charged unless you fail to show and do not cancel your
reservation at least one day in advance, in which case a penalty would be charged.
Wishing you a magical trip filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
