We are going for 9 days, so we will officially have 27A TS and 9C TS. If Disney does separate the credits - could I not use the child credits as I choose? I paid for 27A TS and 9C TS, so if I wanted to use a child credit and order off the child's menu for DS (nonbuffet/family style), I should be able to, right? I went to allears, looked at the menus, took into consideration the sharing we were considering and when I added up the "credits" (with the extra meal), it added up to 27A TS and 9C TS. I'm not sure if my thoughts are right, but it seems to me if they divide the credits and track them separately (which I don't have a problem with), then you should be able to distribute them amongst your party as you please - does that make sense?

As long as the child's credits are used to purchase a child's meal, it shouldn't matter who actually eats that meal.
I think you would only have a problem if you wanted to pay OOP for the child's meals and use those credits for adult meals. That would give you 36 adult meals instead of 27. ( I just confused myself. )
Since it doesn't sound like you're planning to do that, you should be fine.
akalittleeva said:What difference would it make to anybody if we used 4C TS one night (leaving us with 5C TS) on each of us with child sized portions(not that we would, but just to say) - we paid for 9C TS and we should be able to use them how we please - Disney still gets the appropriate $. Child credits are not being used on adult meals - it is child credits and child meals. In the end all of the credits are used with child credits being ordered from childrens menus (in child portions, but necessarily for a child) and adult meals being ordered from the adult menus (but not necessarily for an adult). Does that make sense now?
If they tally the credits separately and I am using them for my family, can they really stop me from ordering what I want, if I have the appropriate credits available to me, that I have already paid for. I understand now why they limit people now from ordering, based on what their card says (ie. 3A/1C cannot order 4A meals), because the points are pooled and they have no way of knowing what is left, but if they are separated credits, they would know what I had left, and I din't see how they could tell me how I can and can't use my available credits that I have paid for.
akalittleeva said:I really don't want a debate, either - I am not trying to work around the plan, but my ds will just be 10 when we go and I know that if I don't want to pay the adult price for him, I don't have to get the plan.
