Dining question

Lemag · 3 May 20, 12:16 PM

Hi, can I add a dining package to a Disney hotel stay? Is there a minimum number or nights? And does anyone know where I can find out the price please?

I won�t be eligible for free dining as I already have the park tickets (bought for an Easter trip this year, but have been extended up until September 2021)

Thanks

You need to book at least five days in resort and buy the tickets as well even for a purchased dining plan. So no, you won�t be able to add one on without doubling up on tickets.

You can find out the prices by doing a dummy booking on disneyholidays

If you have tickets already you CAN add dining to a hotel stay.
As an AP we've done this a few times when booked direct or renting DVC points. The only proviso is your dining plan needs to be for the same number of days as your hotel booking.
We've added 2 nights on a weekend stay or full weeks on longer trips. The only exception was when booking through hotels.com as for some reason they aren't allowed to add dining to their reservations!

You have maybe been able to do this as either an AP holder or due to DVC booking. However if OP is making a regular booking, it will not be possible to get a dining plan without buying tickets and booking a minimum of five nights.
