The backstory:
So I replied to a thread a week ago about a person on the fence about going to WDW solo. As expected, the responses to this person represented everything under the sun, from "hell yeah, you better go" to "there's no way I would be there without my family". My .02 were that I had a recent breakup and I didn't think I could do it. Never really considered it until I was reading the thread. I said that if I were there solo without my current "baggage" the only part of the trip that would make me iffy would be dining alone at TS's as it would just seem a bit weird at WDW.
What happened next:
As if some ironic higher power was watching/listening, I received a personal pincode in my email. Now usually when you get these you start doing an offensive little dance in the privacy of your own home, but given all that has happened to me as of late I was like "damn, why am I getting this now?". The real crusher was a 2 week window on the code. The code I received was the 20/25/30% off for in the early part of 2014 which is when I traditionally visit my home [WDW]. Not knowing what my mental health will look like in 6 months but knowing I likely will not get another offer like this I pulled the trigger. 8 nights solo at AKL [a first- my usual home is well...I'll give you one guess]. I figured I can always cancel if I don't feel up to it in the fall.
Now having said all that, this is my question to my "friends":
When I booked it, the CM told me my price and put in the dining plan with the package. I normally do not do the DP and would prefer not to. The CM said its part of the deal and the code. Can I call back and take this off you think? I want room + tickets, but I prefer to do my own dining thing. I was all in for the room, tickets (PHer), and DP for $2700. I thought it was a deal because the same package at CSR was only $350 less. I figured $350 to bump up to AKL for 8 nights? Why not, right? Well truthfully I feel like I betrayed my beloved CSR- having been there 6-7x through the years. Anyway, its a pricey ordeal and chopping the DP would serve me well. Let me know if anyone has any experience here. Sorry if this was too long for such a stupid question.

I would also opt to stay at a Deluxe if by myself.
I don't think I'd Park Hop either as I would take things at a more leisurely pace.
