DxDP - credits per person or per room?

[EveClark]

We'll be on the Deluxe Dining Plan for our next vacation. We (family of 3) will be there 7 nights, so I know that allows us 21 meals for our stay...

My huband and son are big breakfast eaters. I am not.
We plan on eating breakfast at our hotel every morning. If I decide to not eat breakfast at all, will we have those 7 meals at the end of the trip to do what we want with between the 3 of us? Or does it keep track 'per person' and I will just have 7 meals for myself?

sorry if this gets asked often...I looked around but couldn't seem to find it anywhere.
thanks in advance!

The credits are pooled into one lump. They will be left over in an unattached-to-anyone lump, if you skip any meals.

you can use them however you want

however im pretty sure they expire on the last day of you booking (not sure of the exact time)

i said i was pretty sure
not gospel ok

They expire at midnight on the day you check-out of your resort.

Yep... you'll have 63 credits to share as a family, and use however you wish. If Dad wants to eat at Yachtsman 31 meals, and Jr gets the cheeseburger Combo at Cosmic Rays, that is ok. (LOL!)

Thank you all so much!
I think I may skip breakfast or maybe use a snack credit as use those meals for us to see Hoop Dee Doo...

yep it's all the credits for the room. The only restraints is that you can only order in one sitting Xamount of adult and X amount of children depending on the age of your child. you can't order 3 adults for exmaple if your kids is in the children's plan KWIM. Other then that you do what you want with your credits and you have until midnight of the last day to use them.

this is often the case in our family. the only time it will matter is if your child is a Disney child or adult, although I am not entirely certain they differentiate on the DxDP. I can't remember from last year. Often DS 8 and I will split a breakfast platter beacuse I really only want potatoes or a biscuit or I will use a snack credit for a muffin or something like that. We have used a meal creadit for 2 pastry items and a drink. So I get 2 muffins or a bagel and save one for the next day or a late night snack.
