do you have to use all the table service meals?

my boyfriend and I are going to Disney in 17 days!! We made some dinner reservations but still have 2 sit downs left. we were wondering if we could use them as extra snacks or extra quick service meals....

That is usually not acceptable but that doesn't mean it hasn't been done. Don't forget you can use TS credits for HDDR, Fantasmic Dinner Package and in room dining one night. Those take 2 credits each usually.

Call and see if you can get one of the above. I would recommend HDDR over the Luau Dinner at the Poly. There are three sittings for HDDR but you can only use TS credits for the last one I think. If you do the F! Dinner Paackage then yoru Appetizers are included with that meal---when we do that we don't even go a watch F!.

Also if you decide on F! Dinner Package pick Brown Derby--food is awesome and so is the service. Don't waste those wonderful TS credits on QS or snacks. You can get menus from Allears.

I am so sorry to be doing multiple posts, but it is late and I keep thinking about your options. When/if you book HDDR, you secure it with a CC first I believe then can use your credits when you check out. Seems like I was able to do it online but you may want to call WDW-DINE for that one.

thanks for your help

I agree with the PP that using TS for QS or snacks have been done but I wouldn't. I'd try for a signature, dinner package or a dinner show like they suggested.

Another option is to wait to see if something opens up before you leave home or decide when you get there. At your hotel concierge they can help with dining options. You're going at a slower time even though it's free dining. We have done this in the past and had no trouble getting a place to eat.

Why do you have 2 left? Because no ressies avl at your choices? If so, except for LeCellier, we've never been turned away as walkins when the restaurant opens - don't know about later. And we were there during free dining last Nov/Dec. 2010.

book a signature restaurant. If you have no dinner times left, try lunch at the Brown Derby - or CRT.

are given based on the number of resort nights you are there, not by how many days you are there.

If you are on the deluxe dining plan then I can see having credits that are unused.

If you do have extra TS credits pick a 2 credit place and enjoy signature dining. Getting a TS lunch can be enjoyable, too.

I know it gets mixed reviews on the DIS, but we've always had 2 meals each trip at the ESPN Club.It doesn't take ADRs.We get sandwhiches or salads & the food has been good.
The only times we've shown up and had to wait is during during Saturday or Sunday during football games (altho I'm guessing the same thing might happen during the baseball playoffs). It makes for a nice break from the parks.
As a PP said check with the concierge if you couldn't get into a restaurant before leaving home.That's happen to us with Mama Melrose last year and Rose & Crown the previous year.We scored lunch ADRs in both cases.

We just did this on our trip a few days ago. We had just 2 TS credits left for our 3and 5 yr olds, because we used 4 credits for California Grill, while our kids went to Chef Mickeys with the grandparents. Can't really send the toddlers without us to a sit down dinner!! So we used their TS for a QS breakfast rather than waste it..

In fact, Disneys own literature (that I saw at the concierge desk at the hotel), had a little "Did you know?" tip listed that you can use unused TS credits at QS.

Of course I would try your hardest to get any sit-down you can at the last minute to avoid wasting it...but just wanted to let you know that it can be done! Have fun!
