What I"m asking is, if 4 dine together, can 4 TS credits be used from the pool? Or could only 2 TS credits be used, and 2 of us pay cash?
Yes, you can use as many credits at a meal as you want to, as long as you have enough credits remaining. You could use them all in one day if you wanted to!
Another interesting thing that kept happening to me is, I went to a buffet with my DD7, DD2 (who is free at buffets) and an adult guest who was not on the
DDP. I told the server that the girls & I were on the plan and the guest was paying cash. The server suggested that we use our credits for the 2 adults and pay cash for the child's meal. This happened at
every buffet we went to,and several other TS meals as well, during a 7-day trip in Sept. 2005 and again during a 5-day trip in May 2006. This also happened when we had more than one non-DDP guest with us.
We also shared a lot of meals. There were times when I would order only one adult meal and the 3 of us would share it and STILL have food leftover. I had a server throw in a free app for DD2 at the Sci-Fi Theater Drive-In when I said she would just share.
My main thought about the DDP is
don't stress about it! If you buy the credits, they are yours to use however you want to. If the restaurant accepts the DDP, and the vast majority of them do, just use it however YOU feel is right. Chances are it will be just fine.
