trying to understand child cs credits

[sl_underwood]

Okay, first, I am not trying to cheat the system, just trying to understand how it works. So please no flames.

Can anyone confirm they are keeping track of adult/child cs credits? If so, great. It takes away the guess work.

Also, does anyone know if I can use 2 child credits at certain restaurants where there is a decent kids menu and save an adult credit for a CS place with a kids menu my kids wont touch.

And how will they distinguish at places like Pizza Planet where there are no kids menus. Will they automatically charge me for adult credits for everyone even my 4 yo?

CS Credits are pooled, and it's on your honor to use them as appropriated.

At places without a children's menu, the children are allowed to order off of the regular menu with their child CS credit.

Do you know if I can order 3 kids meals at POR and save our adult credits for places where the kids meal choices are not appealing to my kids.

You will not be permitted to order more adult TS meals paid for with DDP at one sitting than the number of adults on your room reservation. The number of adults and children on your reservation is printed on your room key card.

If you have two adults on your reservation, and you order 3 adult meals with your account, you would pay cash for one adult meal.

My family can easily split 4 adult meals so thats not the issue. I just want to know if I can use more than 1 kids credit at a time like for breakfast or for any meal that someone in my family will eat. Otherwise I am going have 4 unused child credits.

You should expect to not be able to order more adult CS meals than you have adults listed on your KTTW in a single transaction. So, if you are a party of, say, 2A1C, you can order at most two adult CS meals in a single transaction.

As a PP stated, the credits are not actually separated, it's just "up to you" to use them as you are supposed to. That being said, you can absolutely order kid's meals without using adult credits. If there are 4 of you and you're going for 3 nights, you'd have 12 total counter service credits - not 6 adult and 6 child, just 12 credits. It is how it is supposed to be allotted, and a cs place should not let you order 4 adult meals as you are identified as a party of 2 adults and 2 kids (not that you're trying to do that, I'm just trying to help explain what another PP stated).

From your posts, I seem to understand that you're looking to order more kids meals at one time than allotted on your card. You're not looking to get more kids meals than the total you're allotted, and likewise you're not looking to get more adult meals than you're entitled to.

Since kids meals are a downgrade, this shouldn't be a problem.

Because you're ordering the proper number of adult meals at one time, and just looking to have your child share with you, then you will have no problem doing this either.

You aren't taking advantage of the system at all, unfortunately others do take advantage and that's why you're getting so many "Disney's Policy is..." replies.
