and the credits are still pooled.
I really didnt see what the fuss was about on these boards after experiencing the Dining Plan for ourselves.
It went very smooth, and you are given a receipt after each use to tell you how many credits you have left. Not once did the issue of child credit or adult credit come up. They are just credits, to be used how you want to use them. No explanations required on how we wanted to use our credits, I found them easy to use and a great value.
