You don't need to use them the same day. However, be aware that you can't buy it at 3Broomsticks, though you can use it there. The person who did it for us totally messed up doing it too - giving us less drinks but charging us less than she was supposed to as well, so I let it slide. (It was a new person and it took her 10 minutes and help from two people to get it done so due to my antsy kids, I figured it was best to let it slide as well). We used one drink and two snacks from it today. We used one meal and the two refillable cups yesterday. We have one quick service meal left (since she messed up on the drinks), and we are planning on using that in two days. The deal does say it needs to be used on the same day but when I asked here, I was told that wasn't the case. When we bought the plan, I asked the more experienced cashier about it too and she said it didn't all have to be used today as well.
