AP and dining plan?

[FromKnoxvilleto Disney]

I notices that AP holders can get the DDP? How does this work and is it the same cost as DDP for regular bookings? Are you eligible for a room discount and the DDP? I know typically when they offer free DDP it is rack room rate and the dining? How would that work with an AP? Trying to weigh our options for the upcoming year? Thanks!

when they offer free dining, yoiu have to book a Magic Your Way package, which means that you must purchase at least a 1 day pass for each member in your party. You can always save them and use them at a later date.
