Disney Dining Plan

[wilderness01]

From what I understand, I am new at this, each card is loaded with the credits for the meals. Do I have to make sure I have the right person's card, i.e. for one of my kids that are both adults? I am nervous that I will grab the wrong card, etc. and then be given a hassle. Sometimes DH and I split up and go throughout the parks solo with whoever wants to go where. I end up at the MK alot with my youngest or in a different land. We don't always eat together if my youngest wants to go eat with Pooh and the other two don't, etc..

Anyhow, if we sitting down to a meal, I will have to make sure I have the right card that matches the right kid? If my daughter is with me, I want to make sure I don't have my son's card, etc? I am the card holder and fear messing this up. I just have to have a card that has an adult credit on there vs. a kid's credit right?

I really don't like that the credits will be put on my kids cards anyway, and would prefer everything be added to either mine or my husband's cards. What if they lose them?

All credits can be accessed from any/all of the cards.

That means if your DH takes his card up to the register, he can order for all of you (without swiping any other cards) and 3 adult CS credits and 1 child CS credit (example) will come off the total amount of credits remaining. Or DH can have lunch at MK, you can be at the resort and the kids could eat at the waterpark.

Don't worry, it's not hard to use DDP

typically when you get your receipt it will also show you how many credits you have left.

Thank you. I am thinking it will be hard to keep track of, but I'm sure we will all get the hang of it.

There is an exception to the rule here... We had 2 rooms at Pop and our DDP meals were split up on 2 cards. My card had my meals as well as those for my 2 DDs. DH's card only had enough meals for him and DS. This made it much harder to keep track of. But we still didn't have to worry about which card we used until we got to the end and knew one wouldn't have much or any left on it. Up until that point, it didn't matter whose card was used. But I didn't like how hard it made it to keep track of what was left and if mistakes were made. But it was well worth the money.
