thank you for the ethics class!
For a few years, dining credits on the DxDP have not been differentiated, a child could order from the adult menu, some restaurants strongly encourage ordering from the child's menu, but in my experience, if you are a package of a family of 4, on DxDP, 2 adults and 2 kids, and the adults dined without the kids but brought two adult guests, there was never an issue ordering all from the adult menu, no one ever questioned where my children were? At the pool, that is where they are...with their grandparents.......... My children get bored with food fast, sit down dinners get old after the first 2 days, and we are there 14 nights with family in the area, so why scale down and order QS or the
DDP knowing my husband and I love sit down dinners.............if my children want to go to Narcoosees, we will take them, but it gets old and we take guests in their place instead of wasting credits ...... I have left with extra DxDP credits in the past, did Disney reimburse, NO. I did not expect them to, but they made out. Do I use my 112 snack credits on the highest price snack in Disney, no we don't, sometimes its a bottle of soda...a bottle of water, Disney makes out there too. I don't go scamming Disney all 14 days trying to "score", I am using the credits I am entitled, and if my children don't want to do sit down that night, we will take a guest or two.
I have ordered off the child's menu before, is that unethical? My husband and I went to lunch , on DxDP and yes, I ordered chicken tenders off the child's menu, I was not questioned and they took 2 credits away, one for each of our meals, because on the DxDP, that is how it is, credits pooled into one bank. Will I treat a few adult guests to dinner on my DxDP, yes I will. Will my children eat in Disney, yes they will. I surely don't want the credits to go to waste, like Disney would prefer...........
Keep in mind, my husband and I both have a magic band, linked to our reservation, for a table of 4 adults, they can take 2 credits from each band, servers don't ask if your on the package, they just take the credits.... if there are 5 adults in your room on a package, 2 peoples use their magic band and each of those 2 people takes 5 credits off the plan for me and 5 credits off the plan for my DH, that's 10 people dining, they are my credits.. I am not expecting or asking for more than I deserve...Disney hopes we go home with leftover credits. not gonna happen here.
I also treated a family anonymously, the server took 3 credits off my account without a blink of an eye. We had noticed a young couple looking to be vacationing with a middle aged man, with a vent, trache and they were feeding him. He appeared to be quadripalegic..I didn't feel sorry for him, actually, he was so fortunate and blessed that this young couple was with him, laughing and truly looking like they were having a wonderful time...and helping him enjoy Disney World .. They could of been rich or poor, I did not know, but The look on that family's face trying to find out who paid their bill was priceless, and they were hugging the server with tears in their eyes................ the server had told us they were not on any type of dining plan and he would be honored to do as I asked....................hopefully the money they saved on this dinner went towards their trip and more memories........... when my credits are gone, they are gone....................................sometimes we don't order dessert, sometimes we don't order an appetizer, is this unethical, it's not what's written in the brochure.......
Oh well it was getting mor expensive even to upgrade from FD to the Deluxe so we'll save money by staying on the regular.
