Finally decided to do Dining Plan

Hi. We are two sister-in-laws travelling together, no kids.

Advised by everyone to do the Dining Plan. We are leaving Feb 3rd. Can hardly wait.

Where do you advise to go eat for supper. Character dinners not needed.

Thanks for your help

Finally decided to do Dining Plan

Boy, at this late a date, your choices for table service restaurants are going to be very limited due to the reservations already being full. If you want some of the more popular restaurants, you%26#39;ll definitely need to plan on eating ';off hours'; and mainly lunches instead of dinners.

When I did the dining plan last year, we did our big ';table service'; meals during lunch instead of dinner and it worked out great. In fact, we were so full, we hardly needed to eat the rest of the day.

You need to call for reservations just as soon as you can.....like TODAY.

Where are you staying (which resort)?

Finally decided to do Dining Plan

I already booked some restaurants months ago but was going to do it off the Dining Plan, changed my mind since.

Boma, Hollywood and Vine, Morocco, Artist Pt, Sci Fi Dinner, Liberty Tree Tavern.

Am going to call Disney today to register for plan.

What do you think of my choices?

I like all your choices amigoma! Even though Le Cellier in Canada is my favorite Epcot restaurant choice. Also, I%26#39;m wondering if it%26#39;s too late to book the dining plan. Kat, I%26#39;ve forgotten, is it true that you must book the dining plan at the same time you book the room?

Seems like that%26#39;s correct.

What they may have to do is cancel their existing reservation at Beech Club, then rebook the entire package with the dining plan added. I don%26#39;t think you can ';add on'; to an already existing booking.

You%26#39;re correct-you must book the Dining Plan as part of a package along with the room and at least one day MYW ticket. You can%26#39;t add it on later-they may be able to rebook the whole thing for you,why not if you already have a room reserved,but you have to start from scratch if you want the dining Plan

I would also double-check to make sure you can just tranfer your existing dining reservations over to the dining plan. Somewhere in the recesses of my brain I remember reading on one of the websites that you had to book them ';as'; the DP in order for them to be valid with it (maybe there are limitations on how many people are DP and how many are paying out of pocket)?

I just called Disney. They let me book the Dining Plan and use my existing reservations, thank goodness.

You have to book the plan before you get there.

Artist Pt takes two table tickets.

I will have to cut back somewhere else.

Thanks for your help.

Well, that%26#39;s great news (getting the plan on your existing reservations).

Hope you have a wonderful trip. Just remember, those 10lbs you gain on the dining plan can be walked off in the parks if you try really hard.
