So, we could check in 1st thing in the morning, just not go to room yet? OK - if that is the case, I am so excited, because not only do I have my plans ready, but I get an extra day (we have to check in on 09/29, which is a saturday to be eligible for free dining - assuming this is going to happen (please please please), so that makes us have to get there a day ahead of schedule). Now, if there is no free dining, my plans are in the toilet, and we start over because dates won't be such an issue. Thank you so much!

Yep! All you have to do is go to the resort to check in. Even if your room isn't ready, they will give you your KEYS TO THE WORLD. And you never know...your room MIGHT just be ready!

Re: Dining Plan FAQ
Someone already asked my question, I would LOVE to trade in some of my CS credits for more TS credits! I really could do without them!
And if I were to eat at a CS, say like EOS or The Land food court or Tusker House I would pay OOP.

Does anyone know how the DDP works at Nine Dragons? Especially with the dim sum menu?

Re: Dining Plan FAQ
Hi. Has the basic dining plan cost increased since the amount was mentioned in the first post? I booked it today and according to my calculations, I'm paying $69.99/day. That seems pretty high!

Did you book the deluxe plan? The basic plan went down a dollar or two and Disney added a deluxe plan that includes more sitdown meals and the tip.

Thanks for the reminder, I need to update this to include the 2008 details.

Re: Dining Plan FAQ
Just picked up a Disney guide from my travel agent. That glossy promo book states that gratuities are NOT included in the DDP. I'm confused. Help?

That's what happened! I didn't mean to book the deluxe, just a simple communications error. All fixed now. Thanks for the hint.

For 2008, Appetizers are NO LONGER INLCUDED on the regular meal plan. Appetizers ARE included on the Deluxe Meal Plan. Gratuities aren't included on ANY meal plan.

They are for 2007 but starting in 2008 they are no longer included. I'm going to update this soon to include the changes for 2008.

Ok, I just got around to updating this for 2008. What else do I need to add or change?

Yes, children 9 and under must order off the child’s menu. Children under 3 cannot use the dining plan, however, they eat free at family style meals and buffets. Like adults, children will get an appetizer and dessert with each full service meal.
Since adults no longer get an appetizer, I assume it changed for kids too?


Everything else looks great, thank you SO MUCH for updating this info and keeping this sticky. It's been a huge help to me!!
