I just got off the phone with Disney Dining and am not a particularly happy camper at the moment. I called to cancel two ADRS and add another one. When the CM tried to look up my ADRs they were not to be found (under my name). About a week ago my ex decided he'd like to go with us, so I called to add him to our ADRs with the CM cancelling all of our old ADRs and giving us new ones. Well, apparently she totally misspelled my name using only the first three letters of my first name and replacing Jackson with Jones for my last name. The 8:00pm Luau I had booked had been entered as the 5:00pm Luau. The new CM finally got everything corrected (I hope), but had to credit my credit card for the Luau and then recharge it again.
When we finished the CM asked me if I understood how the dining plan worked, because I had more TS ADRs than I did credits. I told her I knew and planned on sharing a few meals (As well as paying OOP for the dinner shows). She said 'Uh Oh! I'm afraid that's no longer allowed'. I asked her 'as of when, because I shared some meals with my mom in May while on the dining plan' I know buffets/all you can eat places you can't share, but regular TS I thought you could. There's no way the three of us can eat three appetizers, three entrees, and three desserts'. The CM said they were notified just a few days ago. We are not going until the last week of Sept, so I decided to go ahead and keep my ADRs as is, until I heard from someone else's personal experience.
