Large group on dining plan

[vbarry]

We are heading to OKW and will have 9 on our dining plan. We are having friends also drive down for a day and will dine with us one evening. My questions are this...

1- What if we split up...let's say we do not all eat together at one time...do they just remove the amount of meals from the plan??

2- What if some members are on cash and some paying on dining plan...is that ok if we are dining together?? Can we pay for our guests meals with the dining plan?? We have 9 all together but have two joining us for dinner...can I pay with the dining plan all 11 or pay 2 our of pocket??

I am just a little worried about the amount of people we have on one plan and we have teenagers so everyone will be splitting up during the day! Thanks for any info on how to handle this.

Splotting up is no problem. You can use less than 9 meals is one seating. You will only be charged the credits you use.

You are not supposed to use credits for people outside of your party. As a practical matter, they won't let you use more than 9 credits in one seating. So if you have 11 people, 2 meals would have to be purchased oop.

We have been a party of 9 at Disney on the Dining Plan for the past 3 years. We have never had a problem with splitting our bills. They always ask when we sit down if we are on the dining plan and to see our cards. They bring use separate bills based upon our Disney key to world cards information. For those not on the dining plan they will get a separate check to pay in cash. We have never once had a problem with our bills. I think they deal with this all the time and know how to handle it effectively. Have a great trip!

You cannot use your dining points to pay for someone not on the dining plan. They always check your key to the world card. Maybe for counter service you might be able to that, but you are not supposed to that. You points are for the people on your key to world cards.
