Dining Plan question for tube fed persons

[HowdyHeidi]

So we had a great time at WDW last week and I would really love to go back again sometime! I know it is early to be looking to book, but I feel like I first want to understand my options.

One of the packages is for dining plan which we did not use this time because our package was land and sea. It states that you have to purchase the plan for all in your party. But what if one of the people in your party is tube fed and doesn't eat regular food? Would they make an exception for that?

Thanks very much if anyone knows the answer to this

I don't know the answer, but had the same question since our tubie will be turning three soon.

As mom to 2 tubies, I can tell you that you are required to buy the plan for everyone including those who don't eat. Karen

The credits belong to everyone in your room- so they can be used by anyone in the room.---Kathy

yes you must buy the plan for everyone. but the credits can be used by anyone. and in many cases if you are at a Character meal even the Tube feeder will be charged for it.. sometimes you can get away with getting a reduction or 'entertainment fee' but not always.

great way to add a few 2 credit TS meals without scrimping

That is a good way to look at it, but in our case they would be kids ts and wouldn't do us any good, would it? If that is the case, I guess this will be our last year on the dp.

I don't mind paying for a character meal...i feel like he at least enjoys the characters.

hmm..I think it is allowed to buy the adult DDP for children regardless of age but as for free dining I think you do need to go by the ticket purchased for them. once they hit what, 9, 10? they are 'adults' anyway.

I know you can use an Adult credit to purchase a child's meal if you are willing to take the loss( implies or otherwise) in many locations.

Yes, and the snacks are the same cost regardless of age.
