Disney Dining Plan when booking a trip as a CM

[DisneyDreamerK]

Hello! I got into the Disney college program and I will be arriving Jan 11th. I plan to book a trip while I am down there for Feb 1st - Feb 6th. I know I can book the resort on the hub. I don't need park tickets for myself but my friends do. Am I allowed to add the dining plan to my cast member resort reservation? Thanks.

Normally, cast members cannot book the dining plan in combination with their room discounts.

However, there are different times of year (slow times) that Disney has chosen to offer the a discounted dining plan (regular dining plan) in combination with room discount. Tickets are not required with this package.

Normally these packages are offered as part of holiday discounts which I haven't heard being released yet.



Otherwise, you have to decide if you want to book discounted room or a package anyone can buy if you really want the dining plan. You would also be required to have a ticket if you want the dining plan.

Thanks for the reply. Does this apply to the 40% friends and family discount as well?

I think the dates you're asking about fall under the holiday package dining plan offers. I think the quick service dining plann is being offered for around $16 & the regular one is around $26 or something like that for the holiday discounts. You dont need to buy tickets if you book the dining plan with a cast discount (ive done it before.) I got my holiday package info this past weekend, so Im pretty sure all the info is on the hub by now, I havent checked since I got it. If you cant find it on the hub once you get there, ask one of your managers, they might be able to help you.
Hope this helps.
