Using someone elses dining credits

[calismic]

I apologize if this has been answered before but I was unable to find it. I am traveling to Disney with my husband his sister and his parents on the 29th. We all have the DDP. My father-in-law is unable to stay for the duration of the trip. (he'll be there 3 of the 7 days) So he's leaving behind 4 days of DDP credits. We are all on the same reservation, so would it be possible for the rest of us to simply use his points? I know when my husband and I have gone in the past they never really checked who was eating just what was left on the key to the world card, however its been a while since we used the dining plan. Thanks!

The credits belong to the room, not the individual. As long as you're not trying to use credits for people not on your reservation, you're fine.

Yes you will be able to use the credits he leaves.

From what I read on another post, just be sure to have his room key because that is what the credits are tied to...not necessarily the reservation!

His room key is not needed if other people are in his room. Credits are not divided by key, they are divided by reservation. So everyone in the same room has all credits for their room on their key.

Not true. Credits are encoded on all keys for that room.

As PP have said, anyone on the reservation can use any of the credits. And no, unless it's a recent change, any KTTW card with charging privelages can be used. Otherwise you would have to order each meal with a separate card (one for mom, dad, kids, etc.) Make sense?
