Can I get the Dining Plan with a “room-only” Disney resort reservation?
No, with two exceptions: • If you are an Annual Passholder, Disney now offers the Dining Plan as part of a special vacation package that does not require you to purchase tickets. These packages are sometimes discounted during certain seasons of the year. • If you are a Disney Vacation Club member staying at a DVC resort on points, the Dining Plan is available as an add-on through DVC Member Services, without purchasing tickets. If you don’t qualify for either of those exceptions, you have already purchased tickets and you want the Dining Plan, here’s a trick to consider: you can buy a Magic Your Way vacation package of any length and include only a 1-Day Base Ticket per person in your package. (In other words, you do not have to purchase a ticket that matches your length of stay.) As long as you don’t use the 1-Day Base Tickets, they will not expire and can be applied later toward the purchase of a more expensive ticket.
