Using Dining Plan to "pay" for others?

[my3girls107]

We are a party of 2 adults and 2 children traveling for 10 days at the end of Oct. and will be using the dining plan. My parents, brother and sister in law will be joining us for a couple of days to celebrate my birthday. We want to "pay" for their breakfast and dinner one day. Can we use our TS credits to do this? I think I've read on other posts that you can, but I've also read that your card states how many adults and children... so will they allow us to use 6 TS credits to pay for 6 adults?

Thanks for your help!

Yes, you can use you credits however you choose.

Using credits as you so choose invovles an exploit. It isn't policy. You are officially not free to use them as you choose, but in certain cases, you can exploit the system and do it anyway.
For example. You can pay for children out of pocket, then use the credit for another adult sit down or for a signiture meal. But this exploits the fact that Disney doesn't accumulate TOTAL credits used by person. It doesn't involve going over the number of adults in the room at one time.

You're trying to go beyond the number of adults in the room at one time. From what's been reporte here, most have succeeded, but some have failed. thus, it probably raises a red flag and at that point, you're at the mercy of the CM as to whether he enforces policy or cuts you a break.
