Our DP ADR's & Unused CS credits ? - Can my parents use them (during same trip)?

[Wendy31]

Hi!

We'll be at WDW in June, and we'll have the dining plan. There are 4 of us (2 adults & 2 children), & we'll be there for 7 nights = 28 TS credits, 28 CS credits, & 28 snack credits.

Following are our dining plans:

TUESDAY, ARRIVAL AFTERNOON/EVENING - MK

Lunch - Casey's (4 CS credits, 28-4-24)
Dinner - LTT (4 TS credits, 28-4=24)

WEDNESDAY - MGM

(Breakfast - in our FW cabin)
Lunch - Toy Story Pizza Planet (4 CS credits, 24-4=20)
Dinner - FDP @ Mama Melrose's (4 TS credits, 24-4=20)

THURSDAY - MK -- My parents will be w/ us!

(Breakfast - in our FW cabin)
Lunch - Crystal Palace (4 TS credits, 20-4=16; Parents will pay OOP)
Dinner - Columbia Harbour House (4 CS credits, 20-4=16)

FRIDAY - EPCOT -- My parents will be w/ us!

(Breakfast - in our FW cabin)
Lunch - Garden Grill (4 TS credits, 16-4-12; Parents will pay OOP)
Dinner - WS counters (4 CS credits, 16-4=12)

SATURDAY - MK

(Breakfast - in our FW cabin)
Lunch - CRT (paying OOP)
Dinner - Grilling at our cabin

SUNDAY - AK/EPCOT

Breakfast - Donald's Breakfastausauras (paying OOP)
Lunch - Flame Tree & Restaurantasauras (4 CS credits, 12-4=8)
Dinner - San Angel Inn (4 TS credits, 12-4=8)

MONDAY - EPCOT/MK

Breakfast - PSB (4 TS credits, 8-4=4)
Lunch - Tony's Town Square (paying OOP)
Dinner - Whispering Canyon Cafe (4 TS credits, 4-4=0)

TUESDAY, DEPARTURE DAY - MK/DTD

Breakfast - Chef Mickey's (paying OOP)
Lunch - Earl of Sandwich (4 CS credits, 8-4=4)

As you can see, we'll have 4 CS credits left over. (We wouldn't have had any left over, but, at the last minute, DS asked if we could eat at the "Lady & Tramp" restaurant which is why we now have 3 TS meals on Monday! )

Anyway, can we use our leftover CS credits to pay for my parents' counter service meals on Thursday and Friday (the two meals I've bolded)? (My parents will be joining us at our FW cabin for those 2 days, but they will not have the dining plan.)

Technically, 2 of the CS credits would be adult credits, & 2 of the CS credits would be child credits. Therefore, would we really only have 2 available CS credits to pay for my parents' counter service meals on either Thursday or Friday?

Thanks for any input!! And any critique of our dining plans would be appreciated too, of course!

The credits expire on midnight of the day you check out, so I don't think it will be a problem. I've heard many people talk about how they "treated" other guests not on the DP on their last day.

You can use your credits anyway you want , at least that is what I have been told. Even though my whole party will be on the dining plan, I plan on sharing some meals so we will have extra credits for our check-out day!
