Hi Leah,
Thank you for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. We love the
Quick-Service Dining Plan for it’s flexibility, there are so many different way to use the plan and keeps everyone happy.
When using a Dining Plan, your entitlements are calculated per night of your stay. At check in the Cast Member will give you a sheet of paper that explains exactly how many “credits” your party has in total for the length of your stay. Once your plan is activated, you are able to use the entitlements throughout the length of your stay, whenever you want. So, if you choose to only use one of your snacks on the first day, the other will still be available for you to enjoy at another time. All of your entitlements will expire at midnight on the day of your checkout, so be sure to use all of your credits by then.
Personally, I like to save my snack entitlements until the end of our vacation and choose snacks that I can take home with me. I like sending an occasional Disney snack in my daughter’s lunch for school, it makes coming home a little more magical.
I hope you you have a magical time at Walt Disney World Resort, Leah. Please let us know if you have any other questions, we are always happy to help.
