Hi Dana,
I hope you are ready to eat, this is quite the feast experience. I had no idea until I tried it and wow! do you experience all the dining you would never do otherwise at Walt Disney World, it is quite the treat. To answer your question, whichever dining plan you are on, if you feel like using many dining meals/snack options for one day and then nothing the next, that is just fine. You have your whole trip to use your dining meals, however you want to plan it. I for example, saved most of my snack options until the end of my trip, then I went to the gift shop at Coronado Springs Resort (where I was staying) and I purchased many snacks (select items under $4.00) to bring home as gifts for everyone I knew and needed souvenirs for. My friends, (and my daughters friends) received items such as bags of gummie bears, small gold bags with chocolate coins, chocolate princess coins, character cookies (wrapped), etc, etc... This didn't cost any extra for me and would have really added up if I had to purchase these items separately, so the snack option was extremely beneficial for me to use in this way. Please use this link for the
Deluxe Dining Plan where you will be able to study the plan in better detail and remember to make your reservations well ahead of time (up to 180 days), they do fill up very quickly and it is a good idea to secure the ones you really want so it is all set for when you arrive!

Have a great trip!
