Debbie,
No, actually that is not correct. If you are checking out on that Friday, then your dining credits are good right up until midnight
FRIDAY night.
As for
Disney Dining Plan differences, the Premium plan gets you the same dining as the Deluxe plan, but you also get a few very significant extras. You can print out the different plan brochures at the link shown here, but some of these include;
- Unlimited use of their recreation facilities, including golf courses, fishing excursions, marina activities like para sailing & watercraft rentals, bicycle rentals, tennis, horseback riding, carriage and wagon rides, and miniature golf
- Unlimited use of the Child Activity Centers
- Unlimited Disney Backstage Tours (a few select tours may not apply)
- One ticket per person to a showing of the Cirque du Soleil show, La Nouba, at Downtown Disney
Do remember that while you get these great perks, you do still have to make reservations! Just showing up does not lock in your participation, especially with the tours and the Child Activity Centers.
I hope that this helps? I am glad to answer any follow up questions, specially about the wonderful Child Activity Centers (that we LOVE!). Just go to my bio page to ask!
Have a magical vacation!
