Premium dining plans - not getting reservations

Hannah88811 · 23 May 17, 06:56 PM

Evening all,
As some of my previous posts may suggest I am thinking about purchasing the half board premium option for DD2 and I when we visit in Nov/Dec.
My question is, what happens if I cannot get reservations for the restaurants of which only the premium dining plan accommodates? Can I downgrade to the plus plan once purchased or will I have to use the vouchers in non-premium restaurants? Hope this makes sense.
Many thanks

the best thing to do would be to wait until around 60 days before your trip, book your restaurants for free on the dining reservations number, and then add the premium meal plan to your booking, that way you'll know for sure that the restaurants you can use your premium vouchers in, are the ones you have been able to book.

you can add any meal plan to your booking up to around 3 days before check-in.

That's great to know thank you, I didn't realise you could add the meal plans at a later date. It would definitely give me peace of mind making the reservations before hand

I did exactly as sammy says for my parents. We go shortly and I just added their dining plan last week (and was told up to 3 days before as sammy says).

To be honest you should get your reservations although I did have to juggle mine a bit. Most difficult was AdC and Buffalo Bills. I called back to try and change my Inventions meal (not long after the 60 days), and was told nothing suitable was available! We are going at half term though and there seems to be lots going then!
