Question for Platinum plan Dining plan experts!

[jennbug]

This may have been asked before but going back some threads I could not find the answer. We are going on a 7 day disney trip on the Platinum plan. I know this plan includes BL & D but from what I can tell it is Dinner on your arrival day and Breakfast and Lunch on departure day. Does this plan go on a point system too. For instance if we decide to go to Universal for 1 day (bad do we forfeit that Lunch and dinner that day or can I use it on my departure day? Also has anyone done V&A on the Platinum plan? We are hoping to do the wine pairing and chef's table which is extra-- how did they handle that? Also at Fulton's if I want to add a salad or alcohol will I just get a seperate ticket?
Thanks in advance
P.S. There is also one spa treatment per adult in the party. If someone does not want to use theirs can someone else in the party use it instead?

Sorry but I have no advice but wow, B, L & D is a LOT of food! We just got back and were on the regular plan and my DH said it was too much food, we ended up giving away 4 counter service meals (it was me, dh and ds-9) hehe!

Do you think it's too much? We were going to do a fireworks, V&A anyway so I figure it would be worth the extra $$ for us.

We went on our honeymoon last year using what used to be the Gold package (is now the Platinum) and while it is a lot of food, it was well worth it with the entertainment, tour, and extras involved.

Yes, if you want something else (alcohol or salad) you will be issued a separate ticket, I believe.

As for how it works, you have a B, L, & D credit per PERSON per NIGHT. So if you're staying 5 nights and there are 2 of you, you have 10 of each. I hope that made since... You can go to www.waltdisneyworld.com and it will tell you exactly how it all works. It will also give you a list of all of the restaurants that accept the dining plan, but unfortunately Fulton's is not on there.

As for V & A's... I have no idea.
