Does it matter who is using dining credits?

I know that with the basic Dining Plan, as a party of 2 adults and 1 child (age 4) plus child <2, we will get 3 TS, 3 CS, and 3 snacks per night of our stay, and that the child has to eat off a children's menu where applicable, and that we can divvy up the meals pretty much any way we choose during our stay.

My question has to do with my parents who will be with us on the trip. Would we be able to pay for my and DH's and my Mom & Dad's table service dinner on a given day, or would our credits only be able to be used for me and DH?

Thanks for any answers / input / clarification!

Dining plan entitlements (credits) CANNOT be shared with Guests not participating in the Dining Plan.

Your card will be marked 2A and 1C. A restaurant will not allow you to order any more than 2 adult meals at a time. The CM can now get into alot of trouble if they do so.

Thanks for the info. I kind of figured as much, but wasn't sure.

I asked the question trying to plan different scenarios if we weren't able to get the Free Dining for our whole trip (9/16-9/24). Now it looks as if at least some people have been able to have Free Dining for the whole trip even if it extends past 9/20.

At present we are planning to do the dining plan and my parents are as well. Hopefully we'll all get it for "free"!
