CS instead of TS on Disney Dining Plan

[donnajz]

If you have the Dining Plan, I realize that the children's dining credits are separate from the adults. I have another question -- can you use a TS credit for a CS meal? I was able to do this in 2005 and was curious to see if its still permitted.

I'm curious about this too. My husband just asked about this yesterday as he's not sure he want to worry about the DDP dictating his vacation by having to worry about where we're eating, if we can get in, having to plan ahead, etc.

My thoughts exactly regarding the Dining Plan. We're going in mid August and I'm not sure I want to "have" to be here at a certain time. I'd love to hear from anyone who has recently had the Dining Plan and used/couldn't use TS credits for CS credits. Thanks so much!

Has anyone recently used TS credits for CS...or attempted to use TS credits for CS. Please share if it did or did not work out for you. Thanks!

can you use a TS credit for a CS meal?

From the Dining Plan FAQ:

Can I use TS credits for CS meals?
No. During the last free dining promotion, Disney did extend an offer to use TS credits for CS meals (plus two snacks and a cheap lanyard), but that offer has expired. Prior to that offer, some (but not all) hotel front desks allowed some (but not all) guests to convert some of their remaining TS credits in the CS credits, with the understanding that once converted they cannot be converted back. However, that is not an official part of the Dining Plan, and so you may or may not be successful in getting them to do that for you.

Can I use two (or three) CS credits for a TS meal?
No. There is no way to combine CS credits to "pay for" a TS meal.

Can I exchange CS credits for snacks?
No. However, some eateries which support both CS and snack credits will allow you to use one CS credit for two or three snacks. That's not a standard thing, though, and it isn't necessarily consistent either.
