when can I use the dining plan?

[MICKEY'S DREAMERS]

If I check-in the first of october and checkout the 8th (7 days stay) and have a 7 days park ticket, I will have 7 table services.

Can I use them the first day (when I arrive 10/1) as well the day I leave (10/, the 8th days of my staying) so "outside" the 7 days windows of my park ticket?
Thanks

Yes, the DP is tied to your resort stay. You will be able to start using credits as soon as you check in and will be able to use them until midnight of your checkout day.

Just to clarify, your DDP has nothing to do with the length of your park ticket, it's all about your resort stay.

So in other words:

considering the arrival day and the departure day I have 7 nights in the resorts but 8 days in WDW (even if I can access the park only 7 days)
I can use my "seven" DDP vouchers anywhere during all the 8 days of my staying.
Is this correct?
Thanks

Yes. When you check in you will get your KTTW card w/ all your meal credits on it. You could use 3 TS meals the first day if you wanted. They don't care when or how you use them. As the PP said you can use them from the moment you check in until midnight of your check out day.

Once we check in we usually head straight for a food court and grab some food!
Hope this helps have a great trip.
