Dining Plan Question

[disgolfer]

I am thinking of planning a suprise trip for my wife for our anniversary, and I want to do the dining plan. The problem I am running into is that we will not check in until late Friday night, so we will not be using one day of the dining plan. The WDW website says that the plan is for each night you stay. I only want the dining plan for two days, not three, because we will only be at the park for two days. We will leave Monday morning. I am not having any problems with the tickets, because I can buy the number of days I want. Is there any way around this since we will be there too late to use the package for one day?

The Magic Your Way Package Plus Dinning vacation package can only be booked for the full length of your stay. You get 1 of each entitlements per guest per night of your stay, and these entitlements can be used in any order, by any guest in the room, anytime during your stay until they are full depleted or until midnight on your scheduled check out date.

If I am understanding you post, you would like to book a 3 night stay for 2 adults. What you will be getting with the dinning plan is 6 table service meals, 6 counter service meals, and 6 snacks that can be used anytime from the moment you check-in or register at your resort until mid-night on the date you check out.

You have a few options:

Have a late dinner on Friday when you arrive, then a breakfast on Monday before you depart or eat both meals on Monday (you did not state when you will leave on Monday)

Simply enjoy 3 meals per "park day"

Book a room only stay on Friday night, then book the package with tickets and meals for Saturday and Sunday night. This will require you to check-out / check-in on Saturday morning, get new room keys and possibly (but rarely) move rooms.

I would recommend if you book 2 reservations you book both reservations by phone by calling 407-W-DISNEY and ask to connect the two reservations as a continuing reservation, this will reduce your chances of moving rooms.

I hope this helps! :sohappy:

Also, some of the fancy dinners require 2 table service points each, such as Coral Reef and the Spirit Of Aloha dinner show. Maybe you'd like to use up your points at one of these places?
