Please clarify DDP question

[Allison]

I'm confused. It appears to be a perfectly civil conversation to me. It doesn't appear to be anyone trying to prove someone wrong but people looking for the right answer (if there is one) and sharing the information they have. What am I missing?

Well there you have it...it must be true if a CM told you over the phone they have never been know to give out wrong info...I must just have a really bad run of bad luck

KPLC, have fun on your trip and remember...it never hurts to ask if you can share a meal. As I said earlier, I know some have had success in doing so and the worst they can say is "no"...unfortunately, luck has never been on my side when I have asked. I am truly sorry this "conversation" has turned into a "try to prove someone wrong" issue...I hope you understand I have just tried to honestly answered your question with the outcome I have always had when I have asked to share a dinner while using the DDP. Here is a little pixie dust for you hoping you have success HAVE A GREAT TRIP!!!

why are you so adamant about such a non issue? are you a server at disney? strange to have such emotion about this. sometimes people are wrong, you are wrong, get over it.
actually i originally talked to a cm, then another cm, and got the same answer that they were sure you could. i told them i needed an exact answer. so she asked me which restaurant i wanted to talk to, i picked cali grille(figured if anyone would have issues it would be one of the more expensive restaurants) i ended up talking to the manager on duty and he says they dont tell their guests what to order.

im confused why you would walk into a restaurant and ask if you can share a meal? what a strange question. when the server comes to take your order, just order one meal. they only bring what you order.

Excuse me??? No...I am not wrong...I NEVER said ANYONE was "wrong" (or "right" for that matter, as you so rudely have!)...I did not IMAGINE that I have been told while actually DINING at a WDW TS location (multiple times, mind you...and other guests around me have been told the same thing where I can overhear)...I simply said "this was my experience and what I have been told the "rules" are for DDP"...END OF STORY! It is very RUDE and against the policies of the DIS to treat other members the way you are treating me. If you noticed, I put in my little laughing symbol indicating it is somewhat funny how you get wrong info from the CMs when you call (and all to often conflicting info)...I DID indicate to the OP that there was a "try to prove others wrong" issue in this thread (as you were plainly trying to do to ME)...not sure how you could even begin to say you know what MY experiences have been I believe that you were told what you claim by a CM...perhaps by several, but I know what my experience has been as well. Why you ask would someone ask at a TS location if they can share a meal (not a strange question at all in a TS dining location in any area, by the way!)??? COMMON COURTESY AS AN ADULT GUEST...that is why!!! Now, I said at least a couple of times in my posts I was NOT flaming anyone (including you)...however, once you started heavily flaming me I take offense...so now you get over it!

you are the only one trying to prove other wrong, everyone else has just been answering the op. no where did i flame you, no where have i personally attacked you, i said you were wrong, sorry there is no rule against that on the dis boards.
you dont need to ask the restaurant what you can order, there is no courtesy lost in ordering only what you will eat.
ive worked in the restaurant business for 18 years, no one needs to inquire whether they can share meals.
its strange, but perhaps this is a much too personal topic for you to discuss rationally.

No...I am NOT trying to prove you wrong...no where in this thread did I do that. Where did you flame me?? "sometimes people are wrong, you are wrong, get over it." Flaming (and very uncalled for)...I do take offense when you very clearly told me I was wrong with MY OWN experience! And most recently " but perhaps this is a much too personal topic for you to discuss rationally"...again, a very offensive statement (and again, uncalled for). It is very clear that you have an extensive experience in the restaurant business...so do I, my husband and I own (and run) a posh steak house in the Indy area...we have had it in our family for over 40 years. It is common practice at this type of establishment (or any sit-down meal, for that matter) to ask if there will be a "second plate charge" for sharing or a policy against sharing...maybe "south of Boston" it is acceptable to not ask, but not in any of the 47 states I have traveled to and dined. Now, before I really loose my cool, as a mother of 3 children and responsible adult, I will rationally tell you "I am not wrong about my own experience"...and I am not saying you are wrong either (nor have I ever)...it is time to end this debate and say that perhaps it is possible to share at WDW on the DDP...and it is possible to be told it is not allowed when using the DDP.

OP(sorry i didnt go back to see what your name was) this has become a bit ridiculous, i appologize. you can share while on the dining plan. you can call any restaurant before hand if you want to talk to the manager just to make sure. like i said i talked to the manager on duty at cali grill and he said it wasnt a problem.
i dont have all the number off hand, but i would bet if you looked in the dining board there is a sticky with them.
hav e a magical trip.
