Thanks Dave. The first time I called Southwest they said I had to cancel and re book. It would have cost me the price of my flights. Not worth it. Just for the heck of it I called and tried again. Got a different and much more helpful person who changed my reservation to include the dining plan. Sometimes it’s all about the person on the other end of the phone.
Hi Dave, and let me first note what a fine name you have!
You have two issues–getting free dining and getting out of your Southwest deal. Disney can’t change or cancel the SW deal–you need to work directly SW to find out what your cancellation or changes options are, and at what price…that’ll guide you as to whether it’s worth it to get out of one and into the other…
I already booked a trip through Southwest last month for 10/28-11/3 without a dining plan. I guess I should have waited. Do you think if I called Disney they might hook me up?
Hi Dannielle, no, it’s the opposite. Disney only offers these deals during low-crowd periods when its hotel bookings are running below target. And even if they bring in an extra 6000 families (20% of hotel capacity), spread across the parks etc that’s just a drop in the bucket. I think the 11th to 16th will be just fine!
