Hi Tony!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question.
I'm happy to hear you're planning to take advantage of the benefits of the
Disney Dining Plan on your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation. The dining plan really helps streamline and simplify your vacation, as your meals have already been taken care of before you arrive!
100+ restaurants, throughout Walt Disney World's theme parks, resort hotels, and Disney Springs participate in the dining plan, so I'm always able to find choices that please everyone in our travel party.
Depending on the dining plan you choose, each member of your party will receive a certain allotment of Table Service, Quick Service, and Snack entitlements for each night of your package stay. You are welcome to use your entitlements as you wish, whether you use them all on one day or spread them out throughout your vacation. If you still have entitlements left on the day you check out, you're more than welcome to use them on that day. I typically use any snack credits I have left on the last day of my Disney vacation to pick up some treats as souvenirs to take home with me!
I hope this helps with your planning. Please let us know if you have any more questions before your magical vacation! - Diane W.
