Question on free dining?

[emptynestr]

I am a free dining newbie and using it for the first time in December. We are arriving on the 18 and leaving on the 23rd. We have a six day park-hopper ticket however, I read on our free dining brochure that we received from AAA that we have free dining credits for each NIGHT we are staying, which would be five nights...so does that mean each individual gets five QS, five TS and five snacks even though we will be there six days? TIA!

You are correct. You receive it based on the number of nights you are staying, it doesn't cooincide with your number of days in the parks. So if you are there 5 nights, each person will be entitled to 5 QS, 5 TS and 5 snacks. Hope this helps!!! You will love the dining plan!!!

Just so you know, the DDP will be available to use once you check-in. Say you check in at 11:00 am, you can use the plan for lunch that day, if you want. Furthermore, it does not expire until midnight of the day you check out. So you can use your credits for roughly six days (check-in through check-out).

Thanks! One of our adult children brought this up to me yesterday and I was completely under the wrong impression - thinking our dining coincided with our park hopper days. While I won't adjust our reservations, I am glad to know it will cost me a little more than I originally anticipated!

That is excellent news This is why I love this board so much. I actually ask here before I go anywhere else. Thanks!
