We are annual passholders with a room only reservation at AoA checking in on Sept 15th for 6 nights.
How do we add the quick service dining plan? Do I call the passholder line or dining? Is tax included or how do i figure my cost so I know they give me the right amount when I call?
Also, is it better to add it now or could I just add it at check-in?
Thanks!
To add the plan, I'm pretty sure that you can just call the Central Reservation line and ask to book a ticketless package with your APs. Not 100% sure on that, though the passholder line should be able to direct you properly if needed.
As far as tax, it's included in the prices.
Any dining plan changes, additions, or removals must be done no later than 3 days
before check-in (2 days for DVC points reservations). So, doing it earlier is likely better than later.
Do note that this will "convert" your room only into a package and that all package restrictions and rules will apply. This means that the due date for all payments will be 45 days before check-in (or, right away, since you are under that). It also means that there may be an additional change fee applied. Typically, they'll waive this fee for upgrades if you're more than a couple weeks out (which you are at this point), so it's likely that they won't apply it. (Erm, if it does even apply, since they'd be redoing your reservation... so it may not... /shrug).
Also note that AP ticketless packages with dining are only available for stays at rack rate or the AP discount rate. If you are booked under a general public or other room discount, it will not be available.
