Deluxe dining plan credits question..

[PCCSakura]

Hello!

My mother and I will be going to WDW during March and doing the deluxe dining plan, and I'm slightly confused as to the credit points we'll have, and seeing how my time to make my ADR's is coming up, I need to get this cleared up!!

We arrive on the 23rd in the afternoon, but we won't be going to the parks and have planned to just stay and relax in our hotel (POFQ!!) until dinner time where we HOPE to dine in O'hana. Now, I know O'hana is only one table credit per person, so my confusion lies in this: I know the credits are per night of stay, so for the 23rd we'll have the 3 meal credits and 2 snacks, 2 of those meal credits and snacks, which will go "unused" for that day? And on our day of departure, we'll have no credits assigned for that day except for any previously "unused" ones?

I hope you can understand what I mean by that @_@ Thanks in advance!

You get your credits up front. So you can use them however you choose. You aren't limited to 3 credits in a day (you can do CRT in the morning and a signature for dinner=4 credits in one day). You can also use them for CS meals so if you have more credits then you will use at TS you can grab a CS meal.

The credits get banked for the entire time of your trip. You can use the credits left for your last day til 1159pm that night. So on the day you leave you can still have 2 meals (or 1 if you have a 2 credit meal).

Are you only going for 1 night? Have you looked into the regular dining plan instead of the Deluxe? It is less expensive and may fill your needs better?

Did I seriously forget to put the departure date? Sorry! We'll be staying to the 29th and while I know when we have to check out, we don't plan on leaving early that day and will most likely be taking a late night flight back home, sorry about that!!

Also, I know we can use the points in whatever order and amount we want, but let's say is on a day-to-day basis, would we have no points for our last day unless any of them went "unused" say the 2 of our arrival date ?

Yes, if you used just one credit on the arrival day and three each other day up until the 29th you can use the remaining 2 on the 29th, the day you leave.

You will be staying for for six nights (arrive 23rd, check out 29th) so each person will get 18 meal credits which can be used any time from when you check in until midnight on the day you check out (29th). The credits are good until midnight even if you have checked out of your room.
