meal plans

If your struggling with using one extra TS meal for your family....why not just go to a signature restaurant (requires 2 credits). Thats what i do.

The dining plans have ALWAYS been tied to the NIGHTS you stay. They have to pick one or the other and since it requires a resort stay in order to even get the plan, nights works best. Otherwise, people could do a one night stay, but buy the plan for a whole week and Disney loses money.

As to using your TS credits for QS, you were told partially wrong information. You CAN use your TS credits for ONE QS meal. It is a one-for-one exchange. They won't give you 2 QS meals for 1 TS credit. So if you want to get a QS meal instead, you can. All your other QS credits will need to be used before this can happen, though.

Not for DVC, that's where part of the confusion is coming from. Years ago, DVC members could purchase plans for different days of their trip, for example we did deluxe meal plan every other night and stretched the credits.

Well that makes the OP's post make a little more sense. Thanks for the information.

It is just easier to have meal package...

It's actually easier and cheaper to pay for meals out of pocket than to pay for and use the meal plan. Constantly keeping track of dining credits and deciding where/what you can eat based on what credits you have isn't exactly a carefree experience.

1. THATS what we are hoping to do, change a table for 2 quick but we were told we could only trade for 3 snacks, which is crazy $15. for $45.
2. You should be able to purchase for number of days at the park....

1. You can use the TS credit for one quick service meal after you have used all of your QS credits. Using a TS for a QS or 3 snacks will never be cost effective, but there have been many suggestions on this thread for ways to use the extra TS credit.

2. The dining plan has never been based on the number of days at the park.
