If we split up, and they have dinner alone, Dave can use his card and say "Use two full service points" or whatever they are called.
Originally Posted By t1lersm0m This is from mousesavers.com All of the meal credits for everyone in your party are "pooled." Each individual doesn't have to use his or her own credits. For instance, if you have a family of 4 and stay for 5 nights, you'll have a "pool" of 20 table service credits to use. Credits are not designated as "adult" or "child" credits -- they are all the same. Therefore, if there are kids in your party, you can easily use their credits for adult meals and pay cash for the kids' meals. At meals, just tell your server what you're doing. (Note: this does not apply to prepaid events such as the dinner shows, Cinderella's Royal Table, etc. For those, all members of the party must use credits OR all must pay cash.) <a href="http://www.mousesavers.com/diningplantips2006.html" target="_blank">http://www.mousesavers.com/din ingplantips2006.html</a>

Originally Posted By Fe Maiden It's so easy. Everyone in the room is tied in together, so anytime you order it will tell you how many snacks, meals, etc you have left. We used it last week an had no problems.
Originally Posted By mouse of the south Thanks, I read somewhere about trying to get snacks on DP. I believe they said that it was easier to pay, instead of trying to sign a ticket for each person who is buying a snack. Maybe things have changed since I read that info.
