Using Extra Dining Credits for a Guest Not on the Dining Plan

[katbair]

My family (2 Adults, 3 Children) is going down to Disney in May for 6 nights the week of Mother's Day, using the Deluxe Dining Plan. My mom is joining us for four of those nights in her own room, without the dining plan, as she is paying out of pocket for her meals. I am having trouble squeezing in 3 table service credits a day for each of the days we are down there, and am ending up with 6 Adult TS credits left over. If the 6 of us are eating together, can we use 3 Adult credits (or 6 depending on the restaurant), rather then having her paying out of pocket? We are fine either way, but wouldn't mind saving a couple of bucks.

Except for Via Napoli, you should have no problem using extra credits for your mother. There haven't been any reports of anyone having trouble doing so, but you may want to ask at each place just to be sure there is no confusion.

Great! Thanks so much for the confirmation.

I've done QS and last year we had three family members come in and we were able to have them use five of our meal credits. They don't scan everybody in the party, they just take what they need from what's available. The year before we had a friend show up and took her out to Wofgang pucks and was able to use our QS credit there too.

Thanks! I wasn't sure if they counted heads. I don't mind losing credits or having my mom pay for all of her meals, but she is paying for a room at the GF for just herself (her choice, I offered to switch resorts). I wanted to be able to help her out a bit!

We were even able to share at Via Napoli, but I know they are the most strict and it isn't a guarantee.
