Dining Plan & Split Rooms?

[Elisa84]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I can't find anything.

I have a family of 6, with kids that are 9, 8, 5, and 3. We decided to stay in 2 adjoining rooms for our next trip. The 2 youngest and I don't eat very much, but the other 2 and DH do. I was thinking about getting the regular dining plan(QS + TS) for just the other room and pay out of pocket for TS meals to split between me and the younger 2. Then I figured we'll just pick off of the plates of the dining plan family members when we're at QS or just supplement with something extra out of pocket(since they don't really check anyways). Last time we went with the dining plan for everyone, it was way too much food for us and I felt like we wasted so much.

Is the hassle worth it? How does it work at TS if half the party doesn't have a dining plan? Would I need to make 2 orders at QS, or can they just use my dining credits and then charge me the difference?

Anytime you dine you can choose how many credits you want to use (unless it is for a buffet). You are never required to use one credit per person. So don't worry about TS restaurants. You will be fine to pay OOP! Go and enjoy. I think your plan will work for you and your family.

Depending on your dining plans, you may want to look into putting the deluxe plan on one room. In that case the credits are all combined and you get 3 credits a day per person on the plan. There is also no difference between an adult and child TS credit that you have on the other plans. You can use the credits for how ever many meals you order, even is you are sharing at TS, and includes appetizers that can help if your sharing. If you are doing characters meals or a number of TS meals, this might save you money over purchasing some meals OOP. It probably won't make sense if you are doing a lot of QS, but thought I would let you know it is an option.

Ok. So I have a question if I want to do a split stay between CBR and POR and purchase 5 day MYW tickets on the first reservation which would be CBR and also want to add a DDP for the entire trip. Even though I purchase a 5 day MYW ticket for entire trip, I'm not able to purchase a DDP for the second reservation at POR. Is this correct? Or is there someway around this? I would hope to get the DDP for the 5 days but is that not possible?
