    Hello! My family and I were planning on staying at 2 different resorts. We were going to the water park between check out/in. we are getting the Quick service dining plan on the 2nd resort only. Will the credits be available to use before check in?

    Hi David! Welcome to planDisney!

    I'm excited to hear about your upcoming trip to Walt Disney World during the holiday season! Between the festive decor, holiday offerings, and themed treats, you'll have plenty to explore during your stay.

    Getting the chance to stay at multiple Disney Resort hotels during your vacation sounds like a dream come true. It allows you to experience more throughout your stay, including new dining and recreation options. With the water park benefits for Guests arriving in 2025, you'll have two complimentary visits available since you have two check-in days. You can certainly take advantage of each one, or pick which day works best for your family.

    With the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan, you can begin using it on your check-in day. Since you have it booked for the second resort you are staying in, your meals will be available on the day you check into this other resort. You can begin using them as early as you arrive that day, which means you will not need to wait until your resort room is officially ready. Your meals will be valid until midnight of your check-out date. Depending on how long the second leg of your trip is, you should have plenty of time to use them all.

    The Dining Plan is the perfect way to account for a majority of your meals before arriving on-site. It allows you to focus on the fun experiences at hand without having to overthink any decisions on meals. With countless Quick-Service Dining locations, you'll have plenty of options to choose from at the parks and resorts.

    David, I hope this information helps you plan for your stay! Have a magical time during your holiday vacation!
