OP, I would have thought that exactly the plan you mentioned would work. All the regular QS meal credits are pooled (since you mention they are teenagers, so these are not kids meals), so I assume for alcoholic drinks, you would not be able to exceed the number of 21+ adults in your group, but in the scenario you describe, I would think you could essentially get two meals at one place, then two meals at another place, and end up with 4 alcoholic beverages, if you wanted.
Does anyone at Place #2 actually see what drinks you got at Place #1? Hard to imagine they'd care; it's just a QS meal credit or it's not, right?
What am I missing?
I would not expect it to work if you tried to get 3 QS meals with an alcoholic drink at a single place, with only two 21+ adults in your group, but that is not what you proposed.
We are going this summer with the QS dining plan and still trying to learn.
We don't drink much, but our one "plan" since our kids are 13, 10 and 6, is to not always use 4 adult meals and 1 kids meal, but mix it depending on what the kids are interested to eat, e.g. at different places it might be:
- 5 adult meals (no kids meal);
- 4 adult meals (no kids meal);
- 3 adult meals and 2 kids meals; or even
- 2 adult meals and 3 kids meals.
I think that will work, since the credits are pooled - we just average 8 regular QS meals and 2 kids meals per day for our party, but it doesn't mean we have to use exactly that every day, right? I assume no one will care if the 13 year old eats a kids meal once or twice?
