Confused about dining plan.... help!

[jraymond503]

I have a few questions about the dining plan.... I am arriving and checking in on the 7th and checking out on the 13th of November, however we bought a 6 day base ticket because we are not going to the parks the first day. So what is the dining plan based off? Do I get 7 days of meals for a 6 night stay, or is it 6 days of meals based on the 6 day ticket.... Also does it matter when I use them? I hadn't planned on using the dining plan on the 7th when we check in but do plan on using it all day on the 13th since the day we check out is a full park day for us.... but can I actually use it both days??

Ugh, now I am, confusing myself!

the plan starts the day you arrive. You dont have to use all in one day. you can use all on one day, which I dont think you will , if you stay 5 nights and leave on the 6 day, you have 5 TS, 5 QS, and 5 snacks, for the regular plan. on the 6 day, if you have any credits left, you can use them. My DH and I usually have snack credits left over and we get chips or drinks to have while we wait for our flight.

We dont use our TS credit on the first day, we usually have a sit down breakfast (character), later in the week. So we use 2 TS credits in one day.

It seems over-whelming; but once you get there, its easy to follow. Every receipt you get from TS, QS and snacks shows you how many credits are left.

Have fun!

It's based on your length of stay not your park tickets. You can beginusinh your credits once you check in and then they don't expire until midnight the day you check out. It's up to you how and when you use your credits. Hope that helps!

It is based on your length of stay, but that length is determined by the number of nights that you are staying. So for a six night stay, it will be six sets of credits per person.

With the regular DDP, you will get 6TS, 6CS and 6Snacks that can be used from the moment you check in until midnight of your checkout date. It doesn't matter how or when you use them during your length of stay.
