I have plans (a plan) to~

I have plans to have a meeting with them
I have a plan to have a meeting with them

I heard from someone that the meaning of the two sentences is the same and native English speakers do not differentiate.

Is this right?

Please help me out and Thanks in advance.

So, the point of your answer is that a plan or plans to get married next year is fine and a plan( singuar) is interchangable with plans(pluar) without any meaning difference. Did I understand you right?

Thanks a lot.
