How does paying on DDP work?

[tmonferdini]

This is probably a stupid question, but if you go to a snack cart and buy 4 snacks and 4 drinks and only want to use the credits on the more expensive snacks, do they just charge for the difference?

How about at meals, if you order an appetizer and it's no longer included on DDP, do they bring you a separate bill? Is it already figured for you with the entrees, drink & dessert subtracted or do you have to try and figure it out? Is there a total for you to base your tip on?
Thanks

We just return home from a 9 day stay at WDW, the waiter, counter worker, will be able to tell you exactly what is on the dining plan, so dont stress about it. I was worried about this when we went down, since I did not know how to use the plan,:cool1:

I think, to avoid confusion, I would order which snacks I wanted to be used for DDP separately. Whatever you order, that is not covered by the DDP, will be added to your check for you to pay OOP at the end of your meal.

With the 2007 plan, if you ordered anything not on the DDP, they would bring your a two bills - one with DDP and one with other items with 18 percent tip already added. Since tip isn't included in DDP 2008, it might be different.

If you buy 8 items and you only want use 4 snack credits, just tell the cashier. They seem to work with you.
