Can someone help clarify a few things on the dining plan for me? I know it is linked to your tickets and stay, but I am not completely sure how. We are looking at a couple of options for our trip and I am trying to figure out how dining would work.
1) Stay at POFQ for 4 nights then AKL for 2 - our TA said I would need to get a 6 day ticket, then 4 days of dining while at POFQ and no dining at AKL. THis is b/c otherwise I'd have to buy a 4 day ticket with dining, then a 2 day ticket with dining which is a more pricey way to get tix. But why can't I get 6 days of both dining and park if I am on prop the whole time? ALso, I thought you had to get dining for as many days as you had tickets? Or is that just as many days as you are in the room?
2) Rent DVC points for 4 nights and AKL for 2 - My understanding is that DVC can now get dining. So would I have to buy dining twice - 4 nights then 2 nights? And would I therefore need to buy park tickets 4/2 instead of 6? This is obviously more pricey.
Last thing, do meal vouchers expire when you check out? So if I did as the TA suggests and just get dining for the first 4 days in option 1, could i use the credits later in the trip? Or just pay cash then?
Sorry this is so complicated! TIA! JJ
