Hi Judy.
I'm sure you're going to have a Magical time while your daughter dances her heart out at Walt Disney World!
A dining plan may add substantial savings on meals for your family during your stay. Depending what your ticket options are through your dance studio, you may still be able to make the dining plan work for you.
In order to purchase a
Disney Dining Plan, you must book a
Magic Your Way Vacation Package including resort stay
and park tickets. The great part is, you only
'need' to purchase a 1-day Base Ticket for each member in your party in order to be able to add the Dining Plan for the entire length of your stay. This way, you would have an extra day in the parks for your family (if you are able to make use of it) on top of the tickets you're purchasing through the studio.
Unfortunately, the Disney Dining Plan cannot be added on to a Disney resort hotel "room-only" reservation.
I hope this helps you determine what will work best for your family Judy.
Please visit again is there's anything further we can assist you with to get the most Magic out of your stay!
