I was able to make substitutions on DDP

This morning we left ASMO and and we had 2 counter services left. So I asked what I could get and was told I could get 3 snacks and use 1 CS credit. So I grabbed 5 water bottles and a bag of doritos and used 2 CS credits. I should have grabbed morechips instead of waters since we all sucked them down at the airport so we did not have throw them away. LOL

Also for breakfast instead of getting 2 drinks we were able to get a side (ex: oatmeal, yogurt or fruit). And a drink

We did something similar in March. My kids were sick and didn't eat much so on our last day we still had 29 meals left (we were on th QS plan). It was breakfast time and they allowed us 2 pieces of fruit, 2 danishes, or some other options plus 2 drinks per CS credit. We ended up still leaving meals but had enough food for the drive home (fruit and bagels/danishes were about all they could stomach). We got one Powerade and one water with each credit as our 2 drinks. My son plays travel hockey and drinks alot of Powerade so we didn't feel it was a waste. We still saved money even without using the rest of our credits.

Good deal...better than having the credits go totally to waste. In general, people have reported quite a bit of success getting these kinds of substitutions allowed at resort counter service-seems like the resorts have more flexibility on the plans. The difficulty is usually trying to get exceptions made in the parks.

This is true that it not only depends on which resort, but which cm at the same resort!

On our last day for breakfast at POFQ, I asked what we could sub instead of the 2nd beverage since we would be flying out and not able to bring on the plane. I was told we could sub fruit only. I tried to do that at another counter cm from the one I asked and was told I could only get the beverages, no substitutions. And guess what? We ended up not being able to drink them and had to throw them away before getting on the plane!

Oh well, I have to keep in mind the whole dining meal was free for the week and not get upset. We were still way ahead of the deal!

I agree it does depend on the CM. That's why I kept going back to the same one. ;). Also your right at still being ahead of the deal with free dinning.
