We have 2 adults and 3 kids staying 6 nights.... Since we have two 2 credit meals (Star Wars character meal and CRT), I'm afraid we'll run short on our credits. I'm going to have to balance out those meals with QS credits and using snack credits as "mini meals" on days when we have larger meals scheduled. My thought was to possibly pay for the SW bfast OOP since it's the cheaper of the two credit meals and save those credits OR pay for the cheapest 1 credit TS meal. Then I thought, what if I paid for one adult and one child at the SW bfast (save 2 adult credits, two kids credits) and one kid meal at Hollywood and Vine (another kid credit). It will be $30 cheaper this way
Then we can have another TS meal back. Can I do this? Even if our whole party is on the dining plan, can I still pay for one meal OOP?
I guess a spin off question is, can you go to a buffet or AYCTE and not eat? I know we can't share at these meals but honestly, DH doesn't eat breakfast so he'd be happy using his snack credit for something mid-morning but he would want to be there for the experience with DD's. And please, no flames, when I say he wouldn't eat, I mean it... I don't mean "we'll say he won't eat but will take sneaky bites off my plate". I would have to think this wouldn't be allowed in these types of settings because of that very reason. TIA!
