need HELP with Dining PLAN pls!

[*love*2*shop]

we
havent used a dining plan since we were on our honeymoon 9 yrs ago and at that time we did the PREMIUM dining plan and *ALL meals* were included
( we did this costly plan back then so not to worry on the honeymoon)
we did not have credits etc.....


We are Now booked during the NON-FREE dining plan( ok whose idea was that) YUP< we paid the extra for the BASIC dining plan this time.....

again, so that we have budgeted in advance it seemed better for us( it will be HUBBY & I only, Kids are staying home with Grammie!!!)

the Basic plan covers:
The plan offers 2 meals and a snack per night of stay for everyone in the party aged three years and over. The meal points allowance per person per night's stay is as follows:

1 Table Service Meal (starter, main course, dessert and single non-alcoholic beverage; or a full buffet and single non-alcoholic beverage)
1 Quick / Counter Service Meal (main course, dessert and single non-alcoholic beverage; or a complete combo meal with dessert and single non-alcoholic beverage)
1 Snack (frozen ice-cream bar, popcorn scoop or soft drink)
Character Dining = 1 Table Service Meal
Disney Signature Dining / Disney Dinner Show = 2 Table Service Meals


We are Checking in friday oct 27 into Coronado Springs
, be there sat the 28, sun the 29th, mon the 30, tues the 31 and Checking OUT on wed nov 1.....MY Question???? What DAYS will we be given Credits for? Will they give us dining credits for friday to wed which is 6 days or fri-tues 5 days or sat ???? HELP!!! I am trying to make ADR and need to know what we will be getting for credits! Looks like its PER NIGHT which is 5 nights, but just checking!

Your credits are based per person per NIGHT. That is because check-in is not until after 3: - 4: p.m. and check out is 11 a.m.

ok..another question......Our flight doesnt leave NH on that friday night until 8pm.....we wont arrive in MCO until 11pm and probably wont get to the hotel until close to 1am ...BUT we BOOKED/reserved/paid for the room for FRIDAY night...so we will get credits for that night correct, even though we wont be arriving until late in the am sat..?

 

[Luv2Roam]

I can't imagine you would not get credits for that night as you booked and paid for the room.

 

[homber]

Just to make sure I understand correctly, you will be there for 5 nights: Oct 27 - Nov 1?

So here is some insite:

You will have 5 table services meals
5 counter service meals
and 5 snacks

You can make the ADRs on any of the days you are up until midnight of Nov 1st (your check out day).

You can use the same type of credit multiple times in one day. If you wish, you can book two table service meals in one day. For example, you can eat at Crystal Palace for breakfast and Boma for dinner. Or you can eat at two CS in one day. You can use all your snack credits in one day if you wish.

We have booked HOOP DE DOO for My bday SUNDAY and will use the friday nights credits towards that! other then that, we dont have ANy other Ressies made as we Just dont know WHAT well be doing on what day! ?? ( ohh, we do have TIXS for Halloween night for MNSSHP of course)

BUT NO other ADR anywhere at the moment..AND we are on *DIETS* fun... which may hamper our Dining Experience....

Ooohhhh.... You will get many suggestions to book ADRs NOW.
For a dinner before MNSSHP you may want to try to get in Kona Cafe at the Poly. Very good, and easy access to MK from KC.
