Another meal plan question

[Rneighh]

If my family of four is on the meal plan do we all have to use the meals at the same time. IN other words: with an appetizer, entree, dessert and beverage at a sit-down we could easily share 3 meals and all be full. Then we could save a full meal to use toward the signature meals. Will they allow this or do we all have to order a full meal.

Thanks Renee

It is my understanding (if I'm wrong someone please correct me) that the you can use your meals whichever way you choose. I guess as long as the restaurant goes along with it, why not. I just don't think the signature restaurant would allow sharing, again someone correct me if I'm wrong. I've never been to any of the signature restaurants so I don't know for a fact. This reply should bump you up again and someone else might be able to give you more feedback. HTH

Just bumping I would like to see the responses to this also.

Renee,

I plan on trying this theory out this coming week. I plan on making a full trip report when I come back regarding the dining plan. I'll let you know. Hopefully it works!

It is my understanding that you can do this. I've read some recent posts of people just getting back from using the dining plan, and they mentioned servers splitting entrees, bringing an extra plate, etc. I would just tell the server prior to ordering that you're on the dining plan and will be using 3 meals, and two of you are sharing. You can always order a separate drink, paying separately for it (or billing it to your room separately). Just make sure your receipt shows that only 3 meals were deducted before you leave the table.

I agree - I would probably not do this at a signature restaurant. Or a buffet/all-you-can-eat family style as they will charge you per person anyway.

Hope this helps!
