I only want to book a 3 night (4 day) dining package, but add 4 additional nights using the AAA rate. If I didn't use my say "counter meal" one day - can I use it during my AAA rate nights? or in other words - do your meals roll over to the next or have I just wasted a day?
 
You are allocated your entire set of credits (3 table service credits, 3 quick service credits, 3 snacks, per person listed on your reservation, for your three-night reservation) at the time you check-in. You may use those credits at any time after you check-in until midnight of the day you check-out.
 
Although you do have to use the credits up by midnight of your checkout day, there are alternatives to just letting them go. You can get a lot of things with those credits that can be saved to use another day. Some food courts and CS places have cold sandwiches or other prepackaged meals that you could buy, put in your hotel fridge (if you have one), and save for the second half of your stay.

You could also use leftover snack or CS credits to "stock up" on drinks and snacks. Many resort shops allow a box of 12 donuts or a big bag of chips to be purchased with snack credits. And you can sometimes trade in CS credits for 3 or 4 snacks, or a beverage and 2 or 3 snacks. So you could pick up juice, milk, powerade, lemonade or any of several other beverages, along with fruit cups, desserts and/or chips. Then you'd only need to purchase the entree and you'd have a complete meal.
 
We just returned from a 7 day trip where we had a split stay. We checked out of SS on Friday morning with 5 CS still available. We checked into ASMo and then headed to the parks. We were able to use 2 CS for lunch in the parks and then used the last 3 at DD that night for dinner as we used our remaining snack credits at Goofy's candy store and ALL before midnite. :banana:
