What days are you looking for? Free dining might have a big difference in availability for particular days.

This was in my email confirmation for Ale and Compass.....Anyone on the Dining Plan get this message? I booked Teppan Edo for 12/3 with my Deluxe Dining Plan (2 credits) with no problem, but whenever I try to book Ale & Compass it says I can’t use credits. Thoughts on why?
Tried to get Trattoria CP breakfast last year and couldn't; same this year. I saw some availability the week of Christmas, but nothing else. Had planned for Garden Grill breakfast this year and now can't get that!! If I had known you could drop your meal and rebook as a CP meal, I would have booked a GG breakfast at 180 days. Oh well! I actually picked up a Trattoria breakfast this morning thanks to touring plans reservation finder. Do you think if I drop it, I can pick it up as a CP breakfast? Should I try calling Disney and asking them to "convert" it??
This is exactly how I got my CP package. Had a regular bon voyage booked for 9:10am. Took a chance today to drop and grab as a CP package. Was so excited it showed up I never really paid attention to the show time. So after some more research, I dropped the CP package and picked it back up with the show time I wanted.
I will say, I noticed that only certain times are bookable for a CP package (I searched Christmas week and compared what was available as a regular reservation and what was available as a CP reservation). It appears that the later times are not bookable (one day had a 9ish reservation and 11ish and only the 9 was showing up as a CP).
I think if you are willing to take a chance, it’s worth it. I’d have someone else ready to pick up the regular reservation just in case.
Also...I did try calling Disney before my attempt but said it couldn’t be done
The menu is open. You will not be offered a special menu.I have a question for those who have done the CP package before...
The price includes an appetizer, main dish, and dessert. Can we choose any of these off the menu or is there a special CP package prix fixe menu we have to choose from?
Thanks!
Wanted to let any other interested person know that technically it worked. I dropped the reservation with the candlelight search preloaded in another window. I searched, saw the trattoria candlelight meal, clicked on it... and the site reloaded itself and then it was gone! I guess someone else picked up my reservation that quick!! Should have waited until like 3AM to do it, lol. Well, I have 4 months to find another one and try again!!
Edited to add it reappeared!! An hour later! I don’t know what happened, but I’m not complaining! I booked it as a candlelight package. I can’t believe it!! I’m so excited now lol
It appears they do accept it, because when you filter and choose “2018 deluxe dining plan,” it’s one of the options as a regular meal but not CP...I’m hoping it’s a glitch that will be fixed soon.This was in my email confirmation for Ale and Compass.....
"Disney Dining Plans Accepted

I can't imagine that they don't take the dining plan though.

Depends actually, on where you booked, as Tokyo Dining has restricted menu. And you cannot get lobster entrees at any place. There are probably other restrictions (like Ale and Compass breakfast is buffet only).The menu is open. You will not be offered a special menu.
What's your date? I have a GG breakfast for Dec 23 that I may drop. It's a 10:20 ADR for the 5pm show. I am waiting to see who narrator is. If you or anyone else here want me to corrdinate when I drop it so you can grab it...let me know?Tried to get Trattoria CP breakfast last year and couldn't; same this year.

Is it impossible to get a seat without the dining package? We'll be there on Thanksgiving Day if that makes a difference.
