General Dining Plan Questions

[dismommy2]

I just booked our vacation to WDW a few days ago and I have been trying to get our ADR's booked online..
crossing my fingers I can get some good ones!

I have called the ADR phone number about 3 or 4 times and all but 1 time they were not very helpful. This is our first trip to WDW...

With all that being said, I realized I was never told exactly how many TS's I get...
Do the days you check in and check out count?
So, if we arrive on Monday and check out on Saturday do we get
6 Table Service, 6 Counter Service, and 6 Snacks?

How does Disney keep track of this while you are there?

Sorry, I know these are probably newbie questions...just curious..
Thank you!!!!

WDW-DINE probably can't tell you anything about the dining plan with the possible exception of whether a restaurant accepts it and how many credits that restaurant costs.

Your dining credits are allocated by how many nights you stay. If you stay 5 nights (checking in on Monday and out on Saturday is 5 nights) on the regular plan you get 5 TS, 5 CS and 5 snacks per person for the entire trip. So you don't have to calculate which days count - you just have to plan to use that many meals over the entire course of your stay. The credits expire at midnight AFTER you check out.

Your dining receipts will show how many credits you have left, and you can always ask a resort lobby concierge to check how many credits are on your account. It's up to you to decide how to use your credits though.

Have you tried booking your ADRs online? I think it's so much easier to do that than to call!
