Dining Plan- Meal Coupons and Their Expiration??

[crazymomof4]

I just purchased the package with the free dining plan and as soon as I hung up the phone I thought of this question-

We will be checking into POP around 3-4 pm on our day of arrival (Wed). I assume we will get meal coupons or vouchers of some kind when we check in. We can use one of them that night for a dinner at one of the resorts since we won't go into the park until the following day. The guest services rep. told me that they expire "when you check out". We check out Sat. morning and head to a park. Does anyone know for sure if we can still use the meal coupons on the day that you check out?????????
(I know we will still have some since we arrive later in the day on Wed.)

You can still use them on your check out day. Your package components expire at midnight the night you check out. The dining credits are on your room key/ticket. They all get lumped together so you can use them whenever you want. For example: We're a family of 3 going for 4 nights and 5 days. That means we'll have 12 counter service meals, 12 table service meals and 12 snacks on our card. When you use one, they deduct it from your room's total. Hope that helps!

I thought this would be the case, but I wanted to know for sure.
