So my question is will her dining credits still be in the "pool" of credits, I would think they should be since it has been paid for.
Originally Posted By Labuda Yes, her dining credits will remain in your pool of credits. Do check with guest relations, though, about her park admission ticket. I think you can just save it for the future even if your tickets are set to expire after 14 days - one that's bought then not activated should not expire.
Originally Posted By soroc Thanks so much Labuda! This teenager is going to be the death of me. We won't get a refund on her plane ticket because it is a airmiles ticket, but her universal ticket won't expire so we can use it in the future. we will also lose the money on Arabian Nights dinner ticket, and her Discovery cove ticket. I know when she is older she will regret this decision, but for now her "friends" are more important than her family.

If that is so and this was my daughter she would owe me the money that I spent. She is 18 after all and needs to be a little more responsible and be held accountable for her decisions. If you went ahead and purchased this stuff without her being involved, that I understand, but otherwise some life lessons need to be taught here. It is probably just me but that is all I could think about while I read your post. Sorry to have veered off here. Carry on!

Stay strong and have a great time.
