DXDP first time at WDW

[GeorgiaHoo]

if you read the entire thread it will - they are sharing with another family so it works out to 5 credits per person for the whole trip.

I didn’t think you could share dining plan credits. Thought everyone in the room had to be on the same plan. Am I wrong?

I don't know if the rules have changed because I haven't followed since last time I was on DxDDP but last time I was, you could use your credits to buy dinner for others.

They are all going to be in one room and will be traveling with another party in their own room and have enough credits to do 5 meals for all of them.

@GeorgiaHoo see below

We have 9 people on the plan 4 adults and 5 kids. And we are sharing with other family (2 more adults and 4 kids). 3 nights.

So if you do the DxDDP, you have 81 credits to share among 16 people, so you each have 5 credits to use.

Works for me. Thanks for the clarification

there was a bit of sniping that probably caused you to skim by earlier posts

DXDP works really well when you do a Breakfast/Lunch 1 credit location and a Signature Dinner 2 credit location. Otherwise I find it to just be too much food. You can use your snacks to supplement the Breakfast/Lunch that you didn't get. All in all it is still a tremendous amount of food but at least you will get to taste the signature dining without "paying" the signature prices.

Yeah, we thought about doing the plan next May and still might but I’m not sure we’d want to eat a table service breakfast each morning. Also thinking about trying to do a couple of DAH and might not want a dinner reservation those nights

Even with sharing I’ve been nervous about the volume of food. But I’m told this is not like Disneyland and we won’t want to spend the time to go back to our hotel daily like we do at DL

Not like Disneyland how? I’d absolutely recommend taking a midday break and returning to your resort for some pool/down time

Hi guys this is my families first trip to Disney Christmas week. I am curious what do you do for dinner? The meal plan seems as if every restaurant is 2 table points. We usually do the meal plan but I'm so confused. HELP !!

Just that it takes so much time to travel to and from the hotel. Maybe we still will especially since we are staying in awesome places.

IMHO the Deluxe plan requires far too much eating for a WDW vacation. WDW is primarily rides and attractions. A good meal at the end of the day is must but the Deluxe plan isn't necessary to get that. Of course that is just my opinion.

There are some 2 credit restaurants, but there are also lots of 1 credit ones. Only the "Signature" restaurants and dinner shows are 2 credits.
