DDP = # of nights or park days

[Dustin & Shelby's Mom]

Sorry so long. . . . .

We are looking at a trip over the kids spring break and now due to the lateness, one room at the value resorts isn't available during the whole stay. We are looking at staying maybe 11 nights and breaking it up over 3 resorts to try to keep the costs down. We want to stay at the value resorts as much as possible, but they aren't available for a couple of nights during the middle. So I was thinking about staying the first 6 nights at one of the All Stars and purchasing the 10 day park hopper pass with dining for that stay. Then moving to one of the moderates for 2 nights without purchasing a pass or dining. Going back for the last 3 nights back at Pop Century and purchasing a single day ticket to cover the last day and getting the dining plan again. What I am wondering is with the dining plan, it says it equals the number of nights of your stay so for the last three nights would we be getting 3 nights of dining to equal nights or would we only get one night/day to equal the one day park pass?

Or, is there a better way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

If I were you I would call Disney and ask them to work it out. They are always so nice and knowledgable.

Dining credits are based on the number of nights. There is no connection to your park tickets.

Dining credits expire at midnight on the day you check out of the resort.

Thank you for the information. I will have to call and work it all out with Disney.

Disney Bound!

I would try to calculate food cost on your last 4 nights. Now compare that to the cost of the dining plan plus extra 1 day (hefty!) park admission. You might be better off paying OOP for food and just do something out of the park the last day ie downtown Disney. Just eat all your expensive meals during the first 7 days.
