If you’ve ever experienced the magic of a Mickey Waffle or Cheeseburger Springroll, you know that dining is an integral part of the Disney vacation experience. From character dining to sampling flavors from around the world, Disney’s culinary offerings add a touch of enchantment to your trip. But arranging your Disney Dining Plan previously meant a call to DVC Member Services, which, let’s face it, could sometimes be time-consuming.

Well, after a little delay thanks to Disney IT, we have some fantastic news to report that now makes this process much easier: Disney Vacation Club Members can now add the Disney Dining Plan directly through their online Member Dashboard!

Yes, you read that correctly. What once required a phone call can now be done with a few simple clicks. This user-friendly change allows members to add a dining plan to their reservation without having to dial DVC Member Services. All you need is your DVC account, your upcoming reservation, and a credit card for payment.


How to Add the Disney Dining Plan as a DVC Member

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate through the process:

  1. Log in to your DVC Member Dashboard.
  2. Look for your upcoming reservations. Under each reservation, you’ll find a variety of trip options.
  3. Click on the button that says “Purchase Dining Plan”. This will lead you to a page dedicated to Disney Dining Plans.
  4. Once there, you’ll see a list of available Disney Dining Plans. Each one will have a brief description, making it easy to choose the plan that best fits your party’s dining preferences and needs.
  5. Select the type of dining plan you want to add to your reservation.
  6. After selecting your dining plan, you’ll be guided through a secure payment process.

Currently, the online system only allows payment via credit card. Simply input your card details, review the purchase, and click ‘Purchase Dining Plan’ to complete the process. Once you’re done, you’ll receive a confirmation email summarizing your purchase.
