That must be why I wasn't given a choice if I wanted to add the dining pkg when I entered the dates. So if it starts on the 27 & we're supposed to check in on the 26, that disqualifies us or we would only get it the 2 days we're there in the time frame?

You have to check in on a day when free dining is offered - in this case Nov 27. Could you change your vacation to start on the 27th instead? If not, you could make a 1 night room only reservation for Nov 26, then a second reservation starting Nov 27. However, free dining also requires a minimum 3 NIGHT stay starting on the 27th, but it doesn't sound like you'll be there that long. You would also have to get 2 day tickets and pay rack rate to get free dining.
You have to check-in on a covered date. Then you get the FD for the length of your stay. If you are arriving on the 26th, you could do a room only then start a package on the 27th. That would give you FD for the rest of your stay. However there are minimums, maybe 3 nights. We booked FD last Dec. for this Fall. Check-in had to be by Sept. 29. We are arriving Sept. 27 and will have FD for all 9 nights.
FYI you could have also found the recently announced FD dates on the Disboards Home page, in the box in the upper left corner. Scroll down a little and it gives you a link to info.
