Split Sit Down Meals

My wife and kids LOVE Chinese. I HATE it! We have DDP. Would it be okay for me to "not eat" or pay for just dessert for myself? They could use their 2 points... and I could have a sit down later in the week by myself and just pay for the rest then? Are you allowed to combo pay meals with DDP meals?

You can tell the server who will or will not be using DDP at any given sitting. If you just want dessert, you can just order dessert and pay cash instead of charging it to your DDP. I saw a number of parties do exactly that, no problem.

You can mix and match your points througout your stay -- you can even eat every single one of your meals in one day if you want. THey just deduct the points you do use and you get a receipt showing what you have left. YOu can use your snack while your wife and kids eat dinner. YOu can just order dessert and pay for it. You never have to use your points - your family can use them all. Think of it as pre-loaded "food debit cards"

Yeah, we actually COMPED-ish bought meals for friends one time on our plan. The 3 of us paid for and additional 2 meals on our plan for people that traveled with us that didn't get the plan. Nobody cared.

We're planning on, for example, at Sci Fi Dine In, ordering 2 complete meals( app., entree, desert) and splitting this for lunch one day between the 4 of us. We're not big lunch eaters, especially if it's hot, so this should be just enough for all of us without wasting food and points. Granted we will have to pay OOP for 2 drinks, but I figure it's well worth it.

I was thinking about that for lunch too, especially when I lined up a Liberty Tree Lunch day in our schedule!

Deb, you are getting so close to your trip, I bet you're sooooo excited!

small drift.....
Just under 4 months. :cry: I'm the Disney freak in our family, not counting the almost 5 year old that I'm grooming in the Disney way. :lookaroun So, it can't get here soon enough, but I try not to rush it.....:brick: :snore: :brick: :snore:

I'm hoping the sharing of meals will work out OK. There are a few restaurants we have never tried, that we are going to order two complete meals and everyone try a bite of everything ordered. We've got several all you care to eats that we will not be able to split, like Liberty Tree for MNNSHP. But we've been there before and know the food is delicious! :slurp:

by the way Dagger, Congrats!
