In order to buy the dining plan through the UK you have to book accommodation and tickets as a package for a minimum of 5 nights. Your DVC passes wouldn't qualify. If booking accommodation through the US site, I believe you can buy the dining plan when you have an annual pass/existing tickets by booking a ticketless package with them. However, I've only read about it on here and not actually don't it myself. You can't buy the dining plan for your eBookers stay I'm afraid.

OP. I would do as others suggest and put the money away Monthly before you go.
I don't like pre loaded cards so would leave it in the Bank use a credit card and pay it all off when home.

However you are eligible for the Tables in Wonderland Card as an AP holder. That pays for itself in circa 5 days and gives you 20% off every bill and adds on the 18% tip. Win win.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
As others have said, there is nothing you can do other than cancel your e-bookers booking and try to rebook a US visitors dining plan deal.

I would recommend leaving your booking as it is and paying cash for meals. We have just done a trip without a dining plan and it was nice to be able to eat wherever we want and choose whatever we want off the menu. I bought myself a refillable mug on the first day and made good use of it.

Quite agree we usually have a TIW card as we go several times a year and certainly this is something we would purchase as it pays for itself .

The TIW Card is available to DVC Members and AP holders. When you use it 20% gets removed from your bill but 18% added on. That’s the servers tip
So we save circa 2% off our costs and don’t tip as the Card has covered it

We find it very useful and you can use the card at nearly every bar and restaurant

This is a typical bill where I have used TIW, the server has helpfully highlighted the discount coming off and the auto tip going back on.
