I have a question about the new dining package

[shelby2001]

Lets say you are going for 8 days / 7 nights and you arrive at 12:00 on Saturday and depart at 3:00 the following Saturday do you have 8 days of dinning or 7 do you pay for food on arrival day or departure day, I know the tickets are 7 days so that's ok but I am unsure about the dinning.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

The dining plan is per night, so if you're there 7 nights, you'll get 7 counter service, 7 table service, and 7 snacks per person per night. After you check-in, you can use the meals in whatever order you want. You tell your server you're on the dining plan and they deduct meals and will give you a receipt showing how many meals/snacks remain on your account.

You could use 3 table service meals in one day (if you wanted to use them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and then have 2 counter service meals and 2 snacks the next day. It's totally up to you how you want to redeem your meals. Just remember that some of the participating restaurants are now considered signature dining, and they will require you to use 2 meals for 1 meal.

Hope this makes sense!
