Leaving in 2 days, how can spend extra credits?

[jenfur]

So a few weeks ago I thought extra people where going with me and instead one canceled and just let me know yesterday. Instead of taking the penalty on changing the reservation, we decided to just leave her on and use her meal credits. We have the basic plan but would like to use her TS credits for CS since it is so late in the planning process. There are a total of 7 people going for 6 nights so this should give us 12 extra meals right? Also, I know we cannot order more than the number of adults in the room at a time, so at counter service stops, can we just stand in line twice? I hope this makes some kind of sense.

You should have 6 extra TS and 6 extra CS.

If you can schedule only a single extra TS meal, you'll be able to use up the extra 6 TS credits among 7 people (pay OOP for one or share 6 plates 7 ways!); if you can't you might be able to trade for CS credits (generally not a great idea, but better than letting them go to waste), or you could consider splitting 3 room service meals (where applicable, 2 TS each) or 3 pizzas (2TS per pizza) back at the resort.

Since person #8 should still be listed don the reservation, you should still be able to order 8 CS at a time, if you really wanted to.

We just got back and my son was not with us for the first few days so we just snuck in one extra TS meal and shared. Not sure if you can convert TS to CS--they would not let us convert CS to Snacks. Check at the hotel desk when you check in on transfering TS to CS, if you can, you will have 12 extra. I don't think you need to stand in line 2x. We didn't have to do that on last day when we used up the credits.

You're not removing the person from the reservation (if you did you wouldn't be getting their dining credits) so your key cards will still have the same number of people they would have if the absent party member were there. You will not have to worry about not being allowed to order the extra meal.

At CS they will not count how many people are physically present, just how many are listed on the key card, when determining the maximum number of dining plan meals your party can buy.

Thanks for the answers. I guess my brain was in a post-turkey haze, I didn't think about it that way.

I would use the extra CS for breakfasts.

See if you can get into a dinner show and use up 2TS credits each. I would try to use the extra TS meals as a TS. You never know the restaurant may be able to get you in.
