It scares me that children have this sort of surgery in the first place.
I got the impression that this was an adult child.

DW and I would like to thank everyone for their input on this matter. You have given us differnt directions to look at and also helped us vent. Thanks again.

Contact Guest Relations let them know the situation and that you need to purchase the childs meal plan for your daughter due to GB Surgery. I have read MANY times that this has been done
While I agree that Disney has every right to refuse the OP's request, I think this was a missed opportunity for them to show that they still have incredible customer service. Lets face it, one of the main reasons people return to Disney again and again is the service. They need to keep it up-not resort to rigid corporate policy.
I am surprised and saddened that they did not accommodate the OP. I really don't see much difference between this request and other special requests like special cleaning, special meals, etc.

I don't like the dining plan. It doesn't match up with how I like to eat. I don't like so many table service meals, don't like desserts after my meal, prefer to graze more throughout the day, sometimes like appetizers and a drink in the lounge for "dinner", etc. It's doesn't matter whether it's a medical reason or personal preference - the dining plan just doesn't work for me. I am planning a trip in January where I will proably be solo. I will not get the dining plan.
If I have others accompany me, and they all want the dining plan, I may get it too even though I won't use it to it's maximum advantage. I would do more table service meals than I otherwise would, but no one is forcing me to take that dessert, order the large meals, eat everything I am served, etc. So I will not maximize the "value" of the plan. That's o.k. with me. I will still be with my friends.
As others have pointed out - check to see how much you would be spending OOP if you weren't on the plan. I personally don't think the current DDP saves that much money unless you really try to work the plan.
And just because someone is on the DDP doesn't mean they have to stuff ourselves till they burst just because they can.

I just got off the phone with Disney Dining. This is NOT a policy issue I was told by Norman it is a system issue that cannot be changed. Again it was suggested we take her off the ressie.( not an option) We are NOT looking for a freebie but we think this is SO unfair.I can't help but wonder how things would be if Walt was stilling running the show.Thanks again for your support and concern.
Agree the dining plan has limits, for myself cutting the starters and leaving desserts is a nightmare as I am unable to eat a lot of the stuff they have on the menu. Anything with cream in makes me sick, dizzy and faint. Ok it won't kill me but not what I want on holiday.
For us the dining plan only makes sense during free dining.
