sharing on ddp

[mtry]

: Ok, I need some questions answered please... I am travelling with my ds 11 ds 12 and a big maybe, my ds18. We got in on free dining. 10 nights on site but for 2 days we will be renting a car and going to the outlet malls as my boys love to shop!! (but only for shoes and sports stuff) anyhow, we all still love to go and look around LOTS-point being we will be off site and not using ts credits on those days. We have 10 each in total so I doubled us up twice in one day at MGM and twice in one day in Epcot. Now if ds18 comes the following question is moot as he will clear everyones plate including his own. Last time We went to Orlando he ordered 2 entres for himself so he can eat. BUT if he doesn't come then... Can we order 2 entres and share them or for say at SCIfi which is booked only 4.5 hours after prime time if we don't eat that much can I just pay oop and then save it for a day we go to tl and then go to a nice meal at dd . We still have our cs credits also and even on the days we have one ts booked I am afraid we will be force feeding ourselves just to use up the credits. Can anyone eat that much? I am not trying to be cheap by sharing or maybe ordering less at a ts but I KNOW my kids will want extra snacks churros, frozen lemonade, treats etc and I plan on buying beyond my snack credits 'cause they don't ever ask for souveniers or arcade or anything..Honestly I have to say "it's ok you can get that tshirt" so when they want stuff like those snacks I love to treat them and it's Disneyworld (our 1st time) and I want to have fun fun fun. If I find that we havn't ordered one app,one entre, dessert each could I pay oop? or could we order 2 meals and share? Thankyou for reading my ramble

I asked the CM when I made my ADR's and was told it was not a problem. We did free dining in 2005 and it was to much food for me. It was being wasted. This time we are paying for the DP but will be sharing at SCI-FI and WCC. If we are still hungry we will order more OP or get at snack later. I want to use my whole DP without feeling I am waisting food plus if we went to those restaurant OP we would not order all that food at once.

Have a great trip!

We frequently share at CS and TS restaurants (except buffets of course)...it keeps us from feeling totally overfed and then I save the extra credits wither for a signature meal or 2 OR a character breakfast on check out day. I use the extra CS credits for breakfast here and there which we share.
