Here is a DDP ? for You

[Lilysmom]

My family and I will be returning to WDW in October and are contemplating doing the DDP for the first time. I know that I can't exchange a CS credit for a TS but what about the other way around? The baby will be 17 months by the time we travel and I was just thinking that if there was a night where she was a little fussy and we decided to cancel our TS ressie if we would be able to use that credit as a CS meal. I know it isn't a smart expenditure of credits but I would rather enjoy a hot dog while walking around then suffer through a TS meal just because I have to if the baby is being a pill.

Does anyone here know if that would be possible?

you sure can, but like you said its not the best use of the credits.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info . I too understand that it's not the best method but you never know just in case.

I have read so many contradicting replies regarding this.

Thanks again!

You actually can't just automatically use a tables service credit to pay for a counter service meal. The Dining Plan rules prohibit it.

You CAN ask a Manager at your resort to convert some credits from TS to CS. They probably will, but they're not required to. But you would need to do it in advance - the POS systems at the CS restaurants are not programmed to accept TS credits as payment.

No, actually you cannot, unless you do what's suggested above (the CS restaurants won't be able to accept TS credits as payment, so asking there won't help). In other words, you would need to know before you leave your resort whether or not you want to make this change.

During a couple of the free dining periods, WDW announced that they would exchange TS credits for CS plus a snack and a lanyard, but only because TS restaurants were overbooked and many guests without reservations were unable to use the TS credits at all. If I am correct that couldn't be done at the restaurants, only at the resorts.
