He doesn't need to do anything, but (unless something has changed) MDE will not show any indication that you purchased a dining plan. They can stop at the front desk after arriving if they want to verify that the dining plan is there.I'm so glad this topic came up! I gifted my grandson and his bride dvc room for their honeymoon. I purchased the dining plan and I can see it in the reservation I made for him on my DVC site. When he adds the reservation to his MDE, will the dining plan automatically be attached to his reservation or do I need to do anything else?
