A Hypothetical Question about free dining

[MouseearsDeb]

Let's say that we wanted to go to Orlando during WDW free dining offer for 6 nights. Now, lets say that we are only interested in going to magic kingdom, one day for MNSSHP, that would be a 1 day ticket plus the purchase of the MNSSHP ticket. Now, my question is would we get dining for 6 nights? I know we would only be able to dine in the park for the one day, but we would like to try several of the hotel restaurants. Am I understanding this correctly? As long as we have a one day ticket, we would get the dining package free for the 6 nights? I ask this because we are thinking about next year "IF" they were to do the free dining plan again. I'm sure it would be a miracle, but we were just curious.

Yes, you'll get the same amount of days on your dining plan as the nights of your stay. If you stay 6 nights, you get 6 full days of dining. 1 Snack, 1 Counter, and 1 Sit-Down for each night of your stay.

I have an annual pass, and the free diding plan is still good, because you can utilize the meals everyday with only purchasing a 1 day. Sweet deal.

One of the reasons they do the Dining plan is NOT to pump up business in the theme parks, but to pump up business in the resort restaurants and Downtown Disney. When it's free, it's worth it. When it's not free, I never get it.

Thanks for the info. That is what I thought but just wanted to confirm.

I agree that most things free are worth it:lol:

But I also think that it is worth it if you have to pay. I love the peace of mind knowing that I don't have to carry around cash to pay for meals, I can order what I like (instead of what I can pay for), I have already paid for my meals upfront with my package purchase.

Plus, I think that we paid $35 per person, per day. It more than paid for itself at the restaurants we went to. I believe we saved close to $250 on food.
