Dining Plan question

[teslaaunt]

I know that I should know the answer to this but Im a little confused. We are going to Disney World Dec. 09. Staying at AllStar Music for 7 days. One of the days we are not purchasing tickets, we are going to Universal. Does this mean we do not have the dining plan for that day? I think the way I understand it you must have a basic ticket to get the plan. Is that correct? Thanks ahead of time for any help.

The DP goes by how many nights you stay, not how many days are on your ticket. If I'm understanding you correctly (that you are staying at a WDW hotel for 7 nights and buying tickets for 6), then you get the DP for 7 nights, even if you bought tickets for 6 to accomodate your Universal day.

You will have the dining plan for each night you are there. If you are staying for 7 days and 6 nights, you will have 6 nights of credits.

You must, unless you are an annual passholder or a DVC member, buy tickets with your package to get the dining plan. But they don't care about the length of ticket you buy. You can buy as little as a one-day base ticket for every member of your party and still get DDP for every night you stay at the resort. DDP is tied to the resort stay, not to your tickets.

If you spend a day or more off property, you need to determine the best way to spend all your dining credits at Disney - you don't want to have any credits left over if you can help it. You must purchase DDP for every night you stay at your Disney resort.

thanks so much. This was better news than I thought. I just figured we'd eat out of pocket that day, which we'll probably still do. That way we can have 2 table service credits for one of these nice restaurants (Jiko specifically). Also, Im under the impression, since we're there on New Years Day, the dining plan does not apply on that day. Is that correct? I think I read that the DDP couldnt be used on holidays.


Again, thanks for your help. You guys rock!!
