Has it been officially announced? I was just on the restaurants board and did not see anything. Where can I find out the pertinent info? Did they drop the appetizer? I was not pleased with the rumor. I would much prefer appetizer OR dessert.

 

[DBorges]

I called this morning yes they droped the starters and the tip???

 

[Disneynut71]

When does this go into effect? I will be there next week and have DDP planned.

Thanks for the update

DVC is not responsible for the changes. They came from Disney Dining. You can squeek all you want, but I doubt they will change it. My guess is they were losing money on the plan as it previously existed. People were always posting the huge amounts they were saving. So Disney cut it back.

 

[Disneynut71]

I think the biggest loss is from Free Dining. Giving away all that food and tip i'm sure is hurting the bottom line. Paying full price at a value resort is not enough to make up the difference.

Were you told that DVC could purchase any level by MS? Any prices for the premium and platinum?

I think you missed MY point in my post if you are a DVC member you can complain to Mr Garcia He is our go to man(DVC )

AND yes if there is enough sqeeking I would bet Disney would change it .

Also I think I will start a Rumor Maybe if we the DVC members make enough noise they will make a specail perk for dvc and let us have it the way it was..

 

[zalansky]

Is there a link to the official change info?

YEp we can buy any level now

No discount but hell it is a start.

 

[zalansky]

I hate to say it, but the changes make it a lot less likely we'll add the dining plan for future trips. When you remove the appetizer AND the tip, the savings isn't that great. Not that we eat all the food they give anyway, but its always fun to try it out.

I wouldn't expect a discount but think it is great that all levels are open to us.

The premium and platinum are especially attractive to golfers. But I think they could also work well for DVCers who want to do the tours, boats, etc. and don;t feel compelled to be in the parks all day.

Were you given prices? TIA.

ddp(basic) 37.99

69.99 for The premium

and you can add wine for 39.00 per room per day..

I may be off on the wine add as i did not realy ask about it

 

[BCV23]

$69.99 is the deluxe not the premium. At least that's the price on Deb's site. This year the premium was $150 and platinum $200 on MYW packages from what I've read.

So no actual mention of premium or platinum?

 

[kimberh]

I was so hoping it was a rumor! I guess we are done with the DDP. We went in May, I had a AP discount on Deluxe accomdations, With the DDE card we were within a few dollars of the DDP. Now, this was not on a points stay, so I am not comparing it to that, but is sure beats paying full price for deluxe WL and then the DDP.

We are an appetizer family not desert!

'THESE ARE THE DVC ONLY PLANS"

Deluxe plan:69.99 adult/ jr 19.99 child(STARTER INCLUDED) NO tip INCLUDED



Disney plus/wine&dine:39.99 per room per night and you need a plan to get it>

SORRY IT TOOK A WHILE TO GET THE ANSWER FOR YOU >>

The Preimum and Platinum do not appear to be sold to DVC which is consistent with last year.

(Personally I am considering writing and congratulating Disney. Maybe you won't have to make dinner reservations 6 months in advance if they quit giving away food!!!)

The wine add-on sounds pretty good. As long as the options are reasonable and not just the cheapest wines.
