Upgrading free dining with virgin after booking

sophie131 · 17 May 18, 08:12 PM

We have booked with virgin for next year with free dining. Will it be possible to upgrade to the ddp a little closer to the time or will we have to remain with the quick service now as that�s what we�ve booked?

Thanks!

I�m afraid you�ll have to ask Virgin. I may be you would need to cancel and rebook but only Virgin can you tell you

From other posts I have read on this, Virgin seem to charge a lot more than Disney when upgrading the dining plan. The price seems to vary also so agree with op to give them a call.

If the OP actually wants the fuller dining plan with virgin it's better to put it on at the outset, as this isn't possible I'd upgrade sooner rather than later as they tend to vary the price (and mainly one way)

Ah, sounds like it won't be so easy. Not too much of a big deal for us. I think if it's going to be difficult to upgrade we might be better off having 1 or 2 nice dinners off site and a couple of table service meals in Disney. We'll probably save money too!

I enquired about doing this a few months before my last holiday with VH. They said I can upgrade, but I decided not to bother as they charged more than Disney, plus dining plan prices had already gone up from the time I originally booked.

It's worth getting a quote from Virgin and comparing that to what you think you'll spend out of pocket on table service dinners.

I have done this this BA Holidays before & they charged same price as Disney I believe. Worth checking with Virgin.
DDP is well worth getting IMO, transforms your holiday experience if you enjoy dining in restaurants. To me, a holiday just isn't a holiday if you're not having relaxing table service meals.
I know the QS plans suits lots of people though. Each to their own.
Good luck, hope Virgin give you a good price.

I have done it this year after booking it was slightly more but not much difference and no hassle was added on straight away
