How To Check How Many Credits You Have

Checking your credits is very easy. There is no need to keep a running tab on your phone or a piece of paper somewhere. There are a few ways to easily check.

One, check your receipts at restaurants and snack locations. At the bottom you will find a running total of how many dining credits you have left.

Second, you can go inside the Resort Hotel portion of the app. Next to viewing MagicBands, unlocking the door, and viewing room charges, there is an option to see your credits.

It is broken up into categories: quick-service meals, table-service meals, refillable mugs, and snacks. It will show how many are issued to you, how many you have redeemed, and how many are left.

Using Your Credits for Mobile Order

You can apply dining credits to mobile order! But, what if you don’t want to use your credits for a snack or meal? After all, not every offering is a wise use of credit.

Once you get through the entire mobile order process, it will automatically apply the dining credit. To change this and use another payment method, follow these steps:

  • Create your mobile order. Don’t worry about where it says the credits are automatically applied.
  • Go to the Review Order Summary and click “Modify”
  • Then, you can choose which option you would like to use – use the dining plan or don’t use the dining plan.
  • Continue with selecting your new payment method.

Don’t miss out! A notification will alert you if you are missing something in your meal. For example, quick-service plans include a drink with your entree. If you don’t have one added, it will remind you it’s included. Be sure to order everything you have paid for!

Does the quick service dinning plan distinguish between adult and kids credits?

Casey's Corner and Yorkshire County fish are 2 places that do not have a kids menu. Can you use child credits here or only adult credits? Also, Plan Disney has a post that says entitlements are not split between adult meals and kids meals, they are simply quick service credits. Everything else I have seen says they are separate. Can you clarify if that post is incorrect? Thank you!

Nice to know, but is there a button stating meal credit or snack credit?
