Is this allowed?

Can you get a 3 day dining plan and park tickets for 4-5 days? We are staying one night on disney property before our cruise (might go to Epcot IF our flight is on time and will go to MK the next morning before cruise but don't want to have the dining plan yet due to possible flight delay and only being at MK for a few hours) and then will spend three more nights post cruise when we WILL want to have the Dining Plan. Is this allowed??? Also, if we added on a fifth day to tickets, would it be the regular price when you upgrade the tickets from 4 to 5 days or would we have to pay for a one day pass?

I guess I don't know if you can get your tickets (which are part of your room key) before your package starts which would be after the cruise.

You cannot get the park passes for your package before your arrival date for your package.

The days of your park passes do not have to be the same as the number of nights that you stay, however, you must purchase at least a 1 day pass with your package, and your package starts the first night of your stay.

What you can do is purchase a multiday pass the first night stay on property, say a 5 or 6 day pass,( I think regular passes expire 14 days after activation, but you may want to check on that) and only purchase a 1 day pass with your package. Then you will have enough for the entire stay.
You can even choose NOT to activate the 1 day pass that your purchased with your package, and save it for another time to use or upgrade.
A park pass is valid forever if it's not activated, it does not have to be a non-expiring as long as it hasn't been activated.

Are you on a Land/sea package or did you book the components separately? If you are on Land/sea, you cannot add the DDP on to your ressie.

There is a also a FAQ on the DDP stuck to the top of the board. Hope that helps!
