Why aren't they included? Once people are willing to give up 2 TS credits for them, surely they should be allowedjjohnson said:Appetizers and desserts meant for 2 are not included in the plan. There have been plenty of posts in the past year of others who have tried & were denied.
I don't believe for one second that Sammie was trying to find loopholes. She asked a sensible question, one that I wanted to know the answer to too. I'm disappointed to see that it's not allowed.bicker said:I think it wouldn't be quite as confusing if we weren't trying to find every loophole that we can use to our advantage. Our collective actions, as consumers, often work against our own interests sometimes.

Neither do I (and I would hope Sammie knows that, given how long we've both been here <grin>).I don't believe for one second that Sammie was trying to find loopholes.

My point was simply that these things are confusing because of how deeply we all dig into these offerings trying to optimize our benefit from them. Nothing was meant other than an explanation.
Oooops sorry. Nothing wrong with the name Sammie for a boy. My mistake. It's a whole lot better than my Dad's 'pet' name for me which was crankshaft. Don't even ask, I haven't a clue why - perhaps he couldn't afford his car repairs because a 4th child came along i.e. meSammie said:Thanks Deb, it's he though, silly nickname my Grandma gave me as a child for Samuel.
Exactly. No sense in planning a meal only to be disappointed when you get there. Best to get the facts straight ahead of time.Sammie said:But I do intend to get the best use of my investment. And if that means I can not order something I would usually order if paying cash; then I want to know that upfront.

I agree.
My favorite dining plan question:
Can I order the Chateaubriand (meant for 2) from YS & share it with my DH but only use (2) TS for both of us?
(there is humor to be found)
Sammie: Thanks for calling YS. It's too bad it's not standard practice at all the restaurants. I see no reason either why you couldn't order this if your combining the credits.
Did anyone else read the WP thread? Someone called & they told her there is no longer a surcharge. Should I add it to my OP? or wait until official word from Disney.
Sammie said:And an interesting PS. They are very aware of the abuses or attempt to abuse the dining program and are studying ways to tweak it to prevent this.
DebIreland said:Did they specify what they meant by "abuses"? Just curious.
They should float the balloons here.... we could probably pick out a few just based on the textual descriptions!Interestingly the person I spoke with said in developing any program for Disney they try for months prior to release to brainstorm all the possible scenarios where problems might exist but they are never as creative as those that wish to scam them.
