Premium Package question: arrival and departure days

[daisy112878]

I should know this but I don't. DH and I are booking a last minute trip to WDW for mon-fri of next week. We decided to do the premium package b/c we love to eat good food.

Anways, We fly into mco on monday at 925am which means hopefully we will be in the parks by noon. So we'll need lunch and dinner that day. On friday our flight leaves at 825pm so we're planning on going to the parks until 2pm. I'm going to plan a breakfast and lunch that day. I'm not sure what our plan covers. I've heard two different things that it covers 4 nights worth of food and the credits are all pooled together OR it's 4 days worth of food (B,L,D each day). Does anyone know how it works?

I'm hoping that since we don't eat breakfast on that monday we could use it friday. I don't mind paying for lunch on friday or even breakfast but I want to make sure we plan accordingly.

Thanks!!!

You'll get "credit" for 4 meals per night you are there. Meaning you'll have 16 meal credits which can be used anyway you want over the 5 days you are there.

We used our "snack" credit for some pretty incredible snacks from private dining at the GF. the Concierges lined it up for us.

Last year we still had left over credits when we were through and never once worried about where to eat or when etc.

Kevin and I will be on the platinum plan again this fall and we can't wait!

We are on the dining plan and it's how many nights you are staying.

Watch out....We always do the PLATINUM plan which is 4 things a day.

Does the Premium Package also include 4 or just 3?

I think the PREMIUM package covers 3 items a day and not private dining.

There are different levels, so you need to check on that. Sorry I mis-read your post and thought you said Platinum.

You get credits for 3 meals per night so you will get 12 credits (per person) for a 4 night stay. You can basically use the credits any way you want to up until midnight of you last day. So if you wanted to eat 2 meals on your first day and 2 meals on your last day you will need to skip one sometime on one of the other days.

There is no snack credit on the Premium plan, only on the Platinum plan but eating B, L, and D each day is a huge amount of food so I don't think you will need any snacks

The Premium plan is great (although fattening) if you take advantage of the benefits that it offers and if you mainly eat at Signature and TS resturants each meal.

We were on the Premium Plan in March and it includes 3 meals (B,L,D) per day as well as unlimited recreation and select tours. There are no snacks included, but you won't miss them!

We ate mostly Table Service with a couple Counter Service meals thrown in. The CS places were very confused by the Premium Plan and generally had to get a manager to explain how to ring up the Premium Plan. Not a big thing, but it got a little old after awhile.

We absolutely loved the plan and had a great time doing all the things we wanted to do, but didn't do on past Disney Trips due to cost..like Parasailing!

Have fun!

The Premium Plan is great! I agree that you won't miss the snacks...we did the premium plan in December...after the first couple of days (we were there for 9) we felt like foie gras geese being fattened as we wandered (waddled) from meal to meal....the credits are just pooled...3 per day, they don't care or keep track of what meal you use them for or when...they are valid from check in until midnight of checkout day...
