dining plan question

When purchasing a package including dining, do you get dining for the number of nights you are staying or for the number of days of your park ticket? We are staying five nights and have a six day park ticket. Thanks!

You are correct! The dining plan is based on the number of nights you are staying, and has nothing to do with the park passes. Please be aware that your dining plan expires midnight the day you check out.

So, I thought if you had annual passes you couldn't get the dining plan. Why not if the plan is not linked to your passes. I get more confused by the minute about this!!

OK, in order to get the dining plan, you have to have a package reservation that includes both park passes and your resort room. Your park passes can be of any length, from 1 to 10 days. The dining plan is based on the number of nights in the package, and not the length of your park pass.

If you have an AP, you can get the dining plan, you just make a package reservation for the number of nights you want to stay, and purchase a one day park pass in the package. It doesn't make much sense to do it that way, but you can do it.

Re: dining plan question

By the way the best bargain on the meal plan (most expensive meal for one coupon) is Le Cellier!

Woo Hoo. We are going to Le Cellier. I am so excited about the dining plan because I love food. And good food is even better.

It is good until midnight the day you check out, so if you check out Tuesday morning, you would still be able to use it all day Tuesday.

Re: dining plan question

Can anybody clarify something ? Can I get the dining plan for a stay that is 13 days long even though my MYW plan can only be for 10 nights? WE originally booked for 10 nights/ 11 days, but due to flights cancellations (TWICE!) we have been forced to move our stay back one day already & possibly now by 2 more days. This means we would be @ WDWE from Jan 28/06 till Feb 10/06. Just wanted to know what is our best option for saving money. Thanks in advance for the help.

I think you should be able to extend your dining plan as well since it is tied to your hotel nights. Our trip was only 7 nights, though, so it wasn't an issue for us. Did you book directly w/ WDW or through an agent? Anyone else experience this situation?
