Using two adult credits for same meal?

[tink fan]

I'm going to DW next week with my three children (9, 6 and 5) and it will be my first experience with the dining plan. We'll have adult and three children on the plan. After reading some of the comments about the lack of variety with children's counter service meals, for two meals I was planning on ordering an extra adult meal and sharing it. For example, ordering two adult pizza combos at Pizzafari or two other adult meals for a meal. I'm not trying to substitute an childs meal for an adult, only order two adult meals to share. With the stricter enforcement of the plan, would I be able to do this? Would I need to go through the line twice?

you can use all your ddp in one day even at one meal if you like. There is no rules for that. However, based on the ages of your kids I don't think you will find this to be an issue. Simply use your snack credits for any kid that is still hungry
We use our snack credits to buy 2 liters at our resort. milk for cereal and snack cakes like entenmans boxes. We use those things for our breakfasts, and bring water from home to use in the parks and our extra snack credits we use for anyone who may not feel full from lunch.
I know they have changed some of the kids things, but I suspect it will balance better as folks get better use to it. Like your TS meal will have an appetizer and that you can share with family members and fill them up that way
I dont think even your kids will starve on the plan. We use 2 TS for the HoopDe Doo which leaves us a TS meal short for the week, we fill that in with a counter meal
Once we understood the plan and how to work it to fit our needs best we love it!! The first time we used it we wasted some of our snack credits, but we don't have that problem anymore

If you card says 1A3C, then you may have to get in line twice. Some folks have posted that the CMs will not let you exceed the limit on your card. However, if you use 2A and 3C at each CS meal, you will be out of credits mid-way compared to the kids. After that will you just pay for your adult meals out of pocket? Why not just buy an extra order of fries to supplement.
