[smores]

i am assuming that i need to check into hotel (get cards) then i can use dining plan.....they wouldnt allow me to pay for a quick counter service at dtd....then credit me on my dining plan when i check in...right?

Yes, you need to check into the hotel and get your key card. As soon as you get your key card you can start using the dining plan. If you don't have the card yet, they will not let your meal be credited back to your dining plan.

They are very unlikely to credit you, but you can go check in before you head to DTD. Even if you aren't ready to actually get into the room and even if the room isn't ready, they can issue your KTTW and you can take possession of the room later in the day.
