Check your receipts very carefully. Spoodles charged the dinner to our room and did not deduct the TS credits. This was our first night using the dining plan, so I did not know the receipt should show $0.00 and the amount of credits used/remaining. I did not figure it out until the next night when that restaurant did it correctly. It was corrected by our resort, but what a pain it was.

We were charged twice for snack credits at an ice cream cart. The credits were refunded, but if we hadn't been checking, we wouldn't have caught it.

Have a great trip.

I would second checking you credit balances we had an issue with a snack that was charged to our room but it was quickly deducted. Also I would say dont use your CS credits for breakfast you will get more out of using them for lunch or dinner. Let your server know up front your on the DDP and they will let you know immediatley what they can do for you.

Make sure you save those receipts, too. We had 22 snack credits deducted from our DP instead of 2 (at one time). I didn't realize it til later, and we got it taken care of at Guest Services at our resort that evening. They said that without our receipt there was nothing they could do.

Make you ADR's and just have fun. Go to eat with the knowledge that it is all covered including tax and tip. Eat what you want. Also you can use snack credits for breakfast items. There is a whole thread which is listing the snack items that have been available. Fresh fruit, begneits, donuts etc.

Don't let the DDP run your vacation.

Exactly, don't try to work it and it will work! But do check the reciepts and remember that the extras that you may purchase--alcohol, etc. will already have an 18% gratuity added so tip acordingly! I service was exceptional we left a few $$ to bring the total to 20%, if not then we just left it alone. My favorite server was the one when I paid for the $5.95 beer with a $50.00--do you want change? Yup, I'm pretty sure I do!
