Anyone have experience with Y.E.S. group dining coupons?

@Mommy a Deux - It's a lot, but we are sooo excited. We leave in 36D. You can make FP+ for the kids or they can. Reply back here or send a convo. We are doing 3 science workshops, booked some group dining events through YES, ordered tickets in advanced & booked our FP+ back in December during Christmas Break. I worked with Disney IT/Internet Help Desk to create MDE accounts. There are 3 FP+ options for YES groups. My Force Is STRONG! I have access to their accounts! Happy Planning!

Yeah, you are in charge of your group. I'm just a volunteer chaperone for the public middle school chorus trip. I don't know who is in my group, or their ticket info. I don't even know if they are like myDD and don't like rides or are thrill kids. If I could just have the info I will plan and make the trip the best it can be, but I hesitate because the teacher is one of the least organized people I have ever met, so I don't want to appear to be pushy.

I understand now. Maybe offer to help.

I need to decide whether or not to use Dining Coupons ($15 including tax for counter service entree,side, and drink lunch/dinner), Dining Credits (specific $$ amount in $5 increments), or just let the kids have their money (except for our one group ADR) I'm looking for both flexibility and bang for the buck.

1) From actual experience, buy the coupons.
2) Kids usually have a tough time managing money - especially with all the temptations at Disney.
3) With a coupon, you can always ask them to hold them in-the-air and see that everyone has "food money" for the day.
4) Cash or gift cards can be spent on too many other things and the kiddies run out of money for food.
