Might be a silly question?

Is the dining plan based off days of tickets or days at resort? For instance if I am staying June 15-20th but leaving the morning of the 20th does that mean I pay for dining plan for that day or because I don't have a ticket not pay? Im confused?

I'm pretty sure it's based on your tickets...we ended up coming home with 3 credits because the day we arrived we only used dinner credits.

It is based on the number of nights you stay at your resort.

The length of ticket you purchase is irrelevant. If you are buying a room/tickets/dining package, you can buy as little as a one-day base ticket per person and still get the dining plan for length of stay.

DDP is based on the number of nights of your stay. You must have at least a 1 day ticket, but you don't even need to use it.

OP, with your dates, you would be staying 5nts. You would get 5 TS credits, 5 CS credits and 5 snacks for each person in your room. They would be good from the time you check in to your resort and expire at midnight of your check out day.

what if i decided to stay the 15th through the 19th and get an evening flight out the 15th, would i not have credits for that day? I am just trying to figure out what would be most economical for my and the 3 girls Im going with, we are going on a college graduation trip and do not have alot of money.

Would you check out on the 19th or 20th? If checking out on the 19th:
You check in on the 15th (no matter what time of day) you will get credits for the 15th, 16th, 17th & 18th. You can use any left over credits on the 19th until midnight.
If you check out on the 20th you would have credits for the 15th,16th,17th,18th & 19th and could use any leftover credits on the 20th until midnight.

Credits can be used for any meal, TS for breakfast or lunch or dinner or CS for any of those meals. You can use 3 TS meals in one day or 1 each day. It's very flexible in that respect.

Best value for TS is to use it for dinner, which generally is the most expensive meal of the day. A lot of people like to use the snack credits for a light breakfast and CS for lunch. Or CS breakfast and snack during the day and then TS dinner.

You would have
one set of credits per person for the night of the 15th;
one set of credits per person for the night of the 16th;
one set of credits per person for the night of the 17th; and
one set of credits per person for the night of the 18th;
if you were checking out on the 19th.

Do not think of the dining plan in terms of days. You do not get dining credits per day. That's how most think of it because you eat in the daytime, I guess. Rather, think in terms of nights. If you are on the regular plan you will get one TS, one CS and one snack credit per person for every night you stay at your resort. When you use those credits, and how, is up to you as you receive them all when you check in. You are then charged with using them all before they expire. They expire at midnight of the day you check out. If you checked in on the 15th, and checked out the 19th, that is a four night stay. Each person on the reservation age 3 and over, upon checkin, would be allotted 4 TS credits, 4 CS credits and 4 snack credits. These credits expire at midnight on the 19th and must all be used before then.
