I'd have to agree with this. Restaurants that take the DDP occasionally change sure but I can't see any logic in certain resorts not doing it. Now... if you were booking with a free dining pin, there are times that there will be no more rooms left at certain resorts under the pin or certain resorts not eligible. Maybe that's what they meant?
Agree with all of you. Apparently the Disney rep went in and said that OKW is being taken off plan and once it's confirmed all people booked at OKW (as cash payers with ddp) will be informed of that. I said they couldn't possibly do that as a £10k holiday turns into a £14k holiday for us as we love love love character meals.
He also said they are scrapping the TS dining plan for all resorts.
We have been booked for over a year, and even the Disneyholidays.co.uk and waltdisneyworld.co.uk is still showing you can book the ddp plan at OKW for the dates. The free dining booking period ends today.
Without the DDP my dad will make us stay at his 3 bed place at Bahama Bay (He's paying for next years trip) and I then would lose FP too!!!!
I told my travel agent I would rather cancel than stay there. Onsite +DDP + FP is the only way a Disney holiday works for us
Annnnnd there ya go!
I would start using a different TA for your Disney trips. He/she is woefully misinformed/under educated about WDW.
They are changing the booking system to 11 months prior only soon, rather than being able to book 18 months in advance so that could be the case for that.
That is true. But he just literally presses the go button. I source my own flights, and hotel/tix package from WDW then get him to book so it is ABTA/ATOL bonded.
