Hello Claire,
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for visiting us with your question today. And hooray for Disney World vacations with a Dining Plan included! My family loves using the Disney Dining plan when we visit... it guarantees we'll make lots of magical AND delicious memories!
I seem to recall the same scenario in the past, with being able to exchange or convert a quick-service dining credit into snack credits. However, the current terms of the
Disney Dining plans no longer allow for that. Your specific dining entitlements will vary with the type of Dining plan included in your vacation package reservation. There is a nice amount of flexibility in how you use them! For instance one day you may not use a snack credit... and the next day you can use two. All dining entitlements are valid and available for use up until midnight on your check-out date, and you can check your remaining balance any time inside the
My Disney Experience app.
Please don't forget to make some
advance dining reservations when your eligibility window opens up 60 days prior to check in! My family likes to plan a mix of character dining experiences like our favorite at EPCOT,
Garden Grill, along with some classic favorites that are just a short distance away from the parks such as
Boma - Flavors of Africa or
'Ohana. With a little planning, I know you'll enjoy using all of those lovely dining credits!
Please let us know at planDisney if we can help with any other questions.
Have a magical trip!
Tami
