In the example I shared, we would use the 12 credits to pay for the 4 adults' meals, still paying for the children's meals out of pocket.
By scamming the deluxe dining plan by using tons of kids credits for adult meals.How in the world does booking a one-night throw-away room save you 20% on your vacation?
We book a 1 night AP discounted throw-away ticketless package for 1 adult and 3-4 kids. The kids swim in the pool, and everyone (including 3 other adults) shares 12-15 deluxe dining credits over 2 days. It works!
Take this example:
Day one: lunch at Crystal Palace
Day two: breakfast at 'Ohana and dinner at 50s Prime Time Diner
If we all get one snack and pay for meals out of pocket, for 4 adults and 3 kids, it costs about $640. If we get a $150 moderate room and the dxdp for 1 adult and 3 kids and we pool dining credits, it costs $530. That's a 17% savings, discounting refillable mugs, parking passes, the cost of magic bands, and the intangible value of resort amenities like the pool.
We wouldn't use the pools if we didn't get a room. You get 2 days to use the credits for a 1 night dining plan.
People have mentioned elsewhere that the waterparks are ineffective for afternoon breaks from the parks, mostly because they are as intense as the parks themselves. But isn't it possible for us to relax in beach chairs and people can split off to play if they want?

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. For the record, we wouldn't get a room for only one night, we'd get one every other night for the duration of our visit. That means that the kids would have pool access every day, which is the same thing we would have at the water parks if we upgraded our tickets.

Do you mean you get a new dining plan every other day too?
