DLX Dining Plan Question

[Lizboo]

I apologize if this has been asked before, but can the two of us (me and DH) use on credit and split the app., main course and dessert? It is just a lot of food and we found we wasted so much.

I think you can do this, but on the dxddp that would leave a lot of credits left over. You get 3 credits per night per person, so in order to use them all you would need to eat three meals a day or 2 meals with one signature meal. This is a lot of food. Maybe you would be better off with the regular dinning plan if you are wanting to split meals?

If you want to do that, then why are you getting the plan at all? I would think you would be better off not getting any plan if you want to split everything and just pay OOP for all of your meals.

We didn't want to split every meal. We were just thinking of splitting lunch when we have a Signature Restaurant booked for dinner (which is a pretty regular occurence during this trip).

Thanks for the replies.

yes, you can split meals as long as you're not buying meals for someone not on the plan. It is one way to stretch your dining plan, too. For example, if you were only there for 2 nights on the Dx, but were actually going to be in the parks for 3 days on your 2 nite stay, then you could use the 12 total meal credits like this...scenario is Magic Kingdom day 1, Epcot day 2 and Animal Kingdom day 3

Day 1 split lunch at Cosmic Ray's (credit 1), dinner at Cali Grill (credits 2-5)
Day 2 split breakfast at resort (credit 6), split lunch at Sunshine Seasons(credit 7), dinner at Coral Reef (credits 8 & 9)
Day 3 split breakfast at resort (credit 10), late lunch at Tusker House (credit 11 & 12)

You'd also have 8 snack credits to use in case you get hungry between meals, or need bottled water during the day.

That is exactly what I was talking about. Thanks a million. I just wanted to be sure that was allowed.
