    My party has hotel reservations for seven nights, but will only be going to the park three days. For the Quick service dining plan, can I pay for only those three days to use the meal plan rather than the seven?

    Hey there, Ava! Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for sharing your delicious dining plan question with us. 

    I’m a big fan of the Disney Dining Plan because it really helps with vacation budgeting. My family has a tradition where everyone, even the kiddos, gets to pick a dining location of their choice. As my kids get older and their tastes change from Casey’s Corner to Chefs de France, it’s nice to have a set amount to budget towards. 

    The amount of credits you receive for the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan (and the standard Disney Dining Plan) is determined by the number of nights included in your vacation package. The program doesn’t allow you to purchase a dining plan for only part of your stay at this time. 

    Quick-service meal and snack credits can be used at dining locations all over Walt Disney World, not just the theme parks. You can quickly find quick-service restaurants on the 2026 dining plan with the My Disney Experience mobile app. Once you’ve opened the app, choose the map (the location pin icon) at the bottom of your screen, and then select the dining icon at the top. A series of filters will appear, and you can tap the filters option button to see all the dining-related filters. Select the “Quick-Service Restaurant” and “2026 Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan” filters, and you’ll see all the dining locations that meet that criteria (subject to change and availability). 

    If you have any questions about the Disney Dining Plans or need assistance modifying your vacation package, don’t hesitate to call the Tickets and Hotel Reservations line to speak with a helpful Cast Member. 

    I hope this info is helpful, Ava. Pop right back if you have additional questions. Your planDisney pals are here to help! 

    Magical travels!
