Hi Lisa,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I am delighted that you brought this question to us! We find the
Dining Plans to be a great value for our family.
When using a dining plan, all of your meal and snack credits will be loaded onto your MagicBand at the beginning of your trip. If you are staying 5 nights and have the Disney Dining Plan, you will receive one Quick-Service and one Table-Service meal plus two snacks per night of your stay. Therefore, you would receive 10 meals and 10 snacks per person 3-years and over on the dining plan. You can use them in whatever order you choose. So yes, you can skip a day and use two table-service credits in one day!
When we go, we prefer the Deluxe Dining Plan. On this plan, we occasionally eat at
Signature Restaurants that require two table-service credits per person. We inevitably have to use more credits on certain days. We love this kind of flexibility on the dining plan!
Remember to make
Advanced Dining Reservations. Restaurants fill quickly!
I hope this helps.
Happy Planning!
