Saving with Dining... Questions...

[Micki_Streeter]

Ok... I have a few questions...

We are going from Sat. Jan 14th to Sunday Jan. 22nd. We are staying at POFQ, so we will be staying eight nights. We have the seven day passes. It is myself, my hubby, and our twelve year old son. Right now we just have the room and the tickets, but are thinking about adding dining... and here is my problem...

We wont be spending all seven days at the parks.. we are going to play it by ear. Probably take a day or two off in between to go to the beach or Daytona International Speedway.

Can I just put like four days with dining on my account? And not specify the days? So that somewhere between the 14th and 22nd we would use four days worth of meals?

AND... would I have to use all three in one day? Example, The snack, the counter meal, and the sit down meal?

For example... I know you can share... Lets say Sunday we go to MK, and we do the sit down meal.... and myself and son order a meal, appetizer and dessert.... and my hubby shares with us, cause that is WAY to much food for the three of us. So basically we only use two of the sit down meals that day and will have one left... Can we use the other one the next day?

Basically can we stretch those four days of meals for the three of us over the seven day trip by sharing meals?

LOL.. I hope this makes sense to some of you, because I explained it to my hubby and I just confused him

Thanks guys!

The dining plan is based on the number of nights you are staying. You cannot choose how many nights you get it for.

you do noy have to use any # in one day. if you wanted to you could save them all up for your last day- i don't know why you would, but you could.
They expire at midnight of the day you check out

Are you sure Magicmato? They told me today I could choose how many days of dining I wanted when I called.... Errr... I am so confused!

You definately can not choose the number of days that you want. You have to get the dining package for your entire stay. You would also have to purchase at least 1 day of MYW passes for everyone in the room.

As for how you can use your credits, you can use them however you want. By that I mean if you want to eat all CS meals one day and then all TS meals the next that is fine. You could also use all your credits just on one day if you wanted. You have up until midnight of the day of departure to use your credits.

Split stay-

There is no way to spread the dining plan over 7 days but only pay for four, but you could do a split stay. With a split stay you could spread 4 dining plan nights credits over 5 days.

Book your first night as a room only, or if you get in early skip this.
Book a 3 or 4 night package with MYW tickets (for your whole stay, so however many park days you want- you are not limited to the number of nights on your package) and add dining for those 3 or 4 nights.
Then finish your stay up with room only.

For example:
Jan 14th- Room only. Use what time you have on arrivial day to swim, visit DTD, or just unpack.
Jan 15th- Start 4 night Package. You will have 4 TS, 4 CS and 4 snacks per person to use. You can use your credits starting the minute you check in (with the package). So you can use dining credits today. You will also get your MYW tickets today and start playing in the parks.
Jan 16- Package night #2. You can use dining credits today.
Jan 17- Package night #3. You can use dining credits today.
Jan 18- Package night #4. You can use dining credits today.
Jan 19- Check back in as room only. You can use dining credits today until midnight and must use them up or lose them.
Jan 20- room only- but your MYW tickets still have days on them. You are sick of eating by now so you don't really miss the dining package
Jan 21- Room only again. Your still sick of eating...
Jan 22nd- last day...(right?).


So you paid for 4 nights of dining but were able to use the credits over 5 full days. This is because the dining package starts the day you check in, as soon as you check in and lasts all day the day you check out.
