Does the DDP start the day you check in?

If you can't check in until 3:00, what do you receive the first day? What about the last day when check out is 11:00?

If your flight doesn't arrive until evening, would you end up with extra vouchers at the end of the trip? Coming from Oregon, we don't arrive until about 4:30 pm and by the time we get to the resort and to a park (usually EPCOT) it's 6:00 pm.

The DDP is for the number of nights you are there- your check in/out time doesn't matter.

You can use your credits anyway that you like, so you won't necessarily have any leftover credits at the end of your trip. For instance, you can use 2 table services in the same day- one for breakfast and one for dinner. Or you can go to a dinner show that uses 2 table service credits. We generally use any leftover snack credits to get snacks for the plane ride home before we leave for the airport.

Hope that helps a little.

I couldn't say it any better than what Karin said.

It's for the # of nights and good from the second you check in and untill midnight on the day you check out. We also sometimes use more than the 1 credit in one day. For example, one day we are going to a TS place for a character breakfast and then have a TS dinner later. Try to maybe plan that so you can maximize your credits, or like Karin said, do a signature restaurant that will take 2 credits.

Also make sure to maximize your snacks because you can always get rice crispy treats or water/sodas for the trip back so you should never have to leave with extra snack credits.

Have fun!! :D

we sometimes get a quick counter service at the resort the day we get there and then eat dinner later in the parks or you could reverse it and eat a table service right away and have a burger later. It's also a good suggestion to save the table service on the first night and go for a signature place that uses 2 during your stay.

Just a point to remember!
You really should not get soda's or water's and expect to take them on your plane ride back. The security at Orlando is very strict and will not let you thru with them. The guy ahead of us Friday had 4.2 oz tube of some liquid and they made him leave it no exceptions. He was really upset so they stopped him and wanded him and everything else. I guess it does not pay to get upset going thru security just do what you are told!
