Hi Kelli!
You will receive a set of dining entitlements for each person on your Walt Disney World Resort hotel reservation for each night of your trip. So if you are checking in on Sunday and checking out on Saturday, you will be staying six nights and you will receive 18 meals and 12 snacks per person on your reservation. Your dining credits will become active after you check-in to your hotel and they will expire on midnight on your checkout day.
All of the restaurants that are accepted by your dining plan are outlined on the
2016 Deluxe Dining Plan Details and the
2017 Deluxe Dining Plan Details. Quick service restaurants and many table service restaurants will be one meal credit, while Signature Dining and dinner shows are two credits. You can also see the number of credits required for each restaurant from the restaurant's webpage. Click on the "Some Dining Plans Accepted" link just under the restaurant's price range and you will see the credits required for each meal for all dining plans. One of the things I love about
Disney dining plans is that they offer you so much flexibility! You can enjoy an of your dining credits at any point during your trip and you aren't required to enjoy one set per day. So if you want to enjoy Signature dining or a dining show, you have that flexibility.
Be sure to take a look at your meal receipts as they will have your remaining credits will be printed on the bottom. This is a great way to keep track during your vacation so you can get the most out of your dining plan! T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
