Hi Becky!
I LOVE the Disney Dining Plan, especially the Deluxe Plan. We purchase one on each of our trips and love exploring new dining options in the parks & resorts. You just can't beat the savings or the 'worry free' benefits they offer!
Disney's Dining Plans are purchased based on the number of
nights of hotel stay that you've reserved for. For example, if you are staying at a Walt Disney World resort on a Magic Your Way Package for 5 nights/6 days and purchased the
Deluxe Dining Plan, that dining plan would include 5 'nights' worth of credits. On the Deluxe Plan this equates to 3 meals & 2 snacks per person, per night of stay.
The plan's entitlements are in effect for you to use, as you choose, from the time you check in & receive your Key to The World cards, until midnight on your departure day.
If you didn't use all 3 meals each on your arrival day and didn't select any 'signature' dining during your stay (where you would have used 2 credits per person at a single meal) then by all means, you may likely have some credits available to use on your last day for meals - and you are absolutely able to do so until midnight on the day of check out!
Be sure to visit us again at the Moms Panel if you have any more questions about using the Deluxe Dining Plan.
Wishing you a Magical time on your vacation Becky!
