Dinning Plan Credits

[Lewisc]

That does contradict what we were told. We originally had our two 9 yo as children on the dining plan, but paid an extra $40 per child to have them listed as adults so they could order from the kid's OR adult's menu (our kids love steak and shrimp and we wanted them to have more choices).

They specifically told us at a sit down restaurant (not necessarily a CS) we would HAVE to order from a kid's menu if one was available if they were listed as children on the dining plan.

If what you are saying is true, we just wasted $80 upgrading them to adults!

There is no such think as adult or child credits but children must order off the child's menu if available. People are paying cash for kids meals so they can "bank" credits so adults could use them to order adult meals. Either a meal that requires 2 credits or an extra meal. Paying the extra allowed your children to order off the adult menu. Some restaurants may have let it slide and some wouldn't have. Even though there is no such thing as a child's credit the card would show 2A2C so the waiter might not have allowed you to order 4 adult meals.

Your card will say 2A3C. Actually the card can only handle 4 guests one of you will be on another card. There aren't any adult or child credits but if you order 3 adult meals it will be evident that a child is ordering an adult meal which is not permitted. In this thread it sounds like the restaurant in Italy is checking for this. Some restaurants may care and some may not. I don't know what the waiter would say if your DH said he wanted to eat 2 meals.

We are a family of 5, booked at PO-R...we will have our credits split onto 2 cards? Not an issue....I just want to be prepared, LOL!

Thanks for explaining that! It totally makes sense to me now! So I'm glad I spent the extra so I don't have to worry.

I'm still trying to figure this out! We (party of 3) will have a total of 12 TS credits since we are staying 4 nights. Can't I spend those 12 TS credits anyway I want? Since my parents are joining us 1 night for dinner, can't I use 5 TS credits that night (even though there are only 3 on the dining plan)? I'm not sure if I'm saying it correctly though... Do I really have to spend only 3 TS credits each night because there are only 3 of us on the dining plan? I can't spend 5 credits one night, 3 another night, and perhaps 4 another? As long as it adds up to 12 credits, does it matter how I choose to spend them?

I think you can SPEND as many as there are people ordering (4 adults, for instance) but that CHILDREN must order off the children's menu, if one is available. So for your 12 ts meal credits, you can use 4 or 6 or all 12 in one night, as long as the CHILDREN with you use their credits for CHILDREN's meals.
It took me a while to grasp this concept also!
My son is 5 and I plan on buying out of pocket most of his meals.
