Am I Correct?

We are going to DW for the first time in September and were able to get free dining with our package. We are doing three Character Breakfasts (princesses at the Grand Floridian, Chef Mickey, and Cinderella's Castle) and then we have signed on for the Mama Melrose Fantasmic dinner package.

I have a couple questions, just want to make sure I fully understand -

1. Our character breakfasts will count as our sit down meal yes? So we will just have a snack and quick service meal for the rest of the day?

2. Fantasmic is just ONE sit down dinner per person or does it count as two?

3. Cinderella's Royal Table breakfast counts as TWO sit down meals per person, but if we are staying for 6 days, 5 nights, and get one sit down meal, one quick service meal, and one snack per person...then we will have an extra sit down meal the last day anyhow won't we? Our flight leaves at 6 so we'll be headed to the airport 3 or 4 right? Does that sound right?

Also what kind of things are considered "snacks"? Like a bag of chips kind of thing? My travel agent keeps saying we'll have extra snacks left when we leave (there are 4 people on the dining plan and then the baby who is not)...we are eaters though and I just forsee using it all up...but I've never been to Disney so this is all SO NEW and confusing to me!

You are right on the money. You have 5 TS credits per person and it looks like you have 5 TS credits booked. CRT is 2TS and the F! pkg at Mama Melrose is just one (don't forget you do get an app with the F! pkg!).

There is a sticky at the top of this forum listing what you can get for you snack credits. It's a long list, so beware!

You are right on the number of credits things are. Think of it as for the trip you have 5 TS, 5 CS, and 5 snacks per person. This may help you add it up easier.
I don't think you will have snack credits left over, especially if you like to eat. In the past, the dining plan had 2 snack credits per day per person. A lot of people had extra snack credits and stocked up on things at the end. Starting in 2012 there is only 1 snack per person per day on the dining plan. Snacks can be bags of chips and such, but also ice cream, dole whips, cupcakes, rice crispie treats, churros, pretzels, etc. Usually things in the $3-$5 range. Drinks count, but don't waste your snack credits on those things. Look for the DDP symbol next to things to see if they are eligible. I know there are several threads about snacks on here. Do a search and lots will come up. Have a great trip!

Awesome, thank you so much!!! I missed the snack thread, thank you for pointing that out - oh and I forgot about the appetizer...yes!!! Perfect. I'm thinking since we probably won't get to the parks until early afternoon the first day that a quick service dinner will be fine. Oh I'm so excited!!!!

I have a feeling the days we go to the buffet style breakfasts we will be eating light until dinner so I think this will be perfect. I forgot that it's 5 of each not 6 - but even if we have to buy one day while we are there, considering the rest of the trip is free that's not bad at all. I'm so excited! Woohoo!

Regular Dining never had 2 snack credits per day, CS had 2 and Deluxe had 2
