Hi Michelle,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thank you for sending us your question. I am happy to hear you are considering using one of the
Disney Dining Plans, my family and I love the convenience and flexibility the plan offers during our Walt Disney World Resort Vacation.
The Disney Dining Plan calculates entitlements per night of stay, not per day. Guests are able to use the entitlements as they would like throughout the length of stay. The entitlements are activated upon check-in, and valid until midnight on the day of checkout.
For example if you have booked a 5 night stay with the Disney Dining Plan, your entitlements will include 5 Table-Service credits, 5 Quick-Service credits and two Snack credits per person. These credits are available for guests to use from check-in until midnight on the day of checkout.
If you are planning on enjoying some Table-Service Dining Locations, I would recommend making Advanced Dining Reservations as most Table-Service Locations fill up quickly. Reservations can be made
online or by calling (407) 939-1947 up to 180 days in advance.
I hope you have a fantastic visit at Walt Disney World Resort, Michelle. Please let us know if you have any other questions we are always happy to help.
Stephanie
