Sharing on the Dining Plan???

[maggiew]

Here is some background: It will be me, DH, DD14 and DD11 (at time of trip). I was thinking of getting the dining plan. That means that we will have to get 4 ADULT dining plans since the kids are older than 9. Anyway, we really do not eat that much and 4 full meals would just be WAY too much for us. We normally share 2 meals between the 4 of us (not character meals or buffets, of course). With an appetizer and dessert that would even be too much.

Can we maybe use 2 table service credits for breakfast (at non character meals, like at Boatwrights) and then 2 table service meals for dinner (like at Le Cellier)?? We may do one character dinner (Grand Floridian) or a character breakfast (stitch) since we haven't done those yet, but other than that, would sharing be ok??

We aren't trying to cheat the system because both of the girls have adult credits anyway??

Thanks.

Yes, sharing is OK. A few weeks ago my DH and I had the Dining Plan and we shared at a couple of table service restaurants and we had absolutely no problems whatsoever. We did tip as though both of us had ordered a meal though.

The two places we shared our meals at were the Plaza Restaurant for lunch (HUGE sandwiches, and huge banana split! lol) and the Kona Cafe for breakfast (huge stack of Pineapple Macadamia Pancakes). Both times, half of the meal was more than enough for each of us.

In the summer DH and I shared at a few other table service restaurants (not on the Dining plan for that trip), and we never had a problem. Those restaurants were Kona Cafe for dinner, Sci-Fi Dine In for lunch, and Liberty Tree Tavern for lunch. We were just getting over an illness so neither of us had much of an appetite, and sharing the meals was a perfect way to still enjoy your favorite table-service restaurants without wasting a ton of food.

Have a great trip!

Absolutely sharing is OK in your case. The only thing I'd suggest is to leave an extra cash tip because they are serving four people but only getting tipped for two.

DS and I did some sharing, especially for counter service meals. The dining plan is great, but there was WAY too much food for us.

How are the portions at Chefs de France?? I am thinking of us eating there, but don't know if the portions are large enough to share or not. This is one place we haven't been and we like to try new things on each new trip.

Also, can you get the appetizer size alfredo as your appetizer on the dining plan?
