I read a lot of dining threads. So many tips on how to stretch it out, share one meal between five , swap included drinks for more food, never use a credit on a drink but then they end up with loads of unused credits at the end. I don’t get it, I am a dibb rebel as I will use a snack credit on a bottle of water.

Hi we just got back on Wednesday, and we were allowed to use our unused credit s .full meal credits and snack.
The reason we were left over so many credits are 3 days in universal, so there is 12 meal credits and 12 snack credits there is 2 adults,also the first day did not get to hotel till after 19.00 so only had 2 meal credits leaving 2 credits and 2 snacks spare.and also on last day Left room at 11, .so only used 2 credits on last day so another 2 meal credits and another 2 snacks.
So there is 16 meal credits and 16 snacks left
So we spent this in the shop about 480 dollars.
I don’t understand why people winged about what people get, would you throw that much away.
One way or another you have paid for the dinning plan and want what you have paid for

Nobody is whinging about it,like I said I've never done the DDP and have no wish to,seemingly the notice just appeared yesterday though that they were stopping it.

If they are stopping it then I'm not surprised. It must be annoying for them with so much not being bought with actual money.

We used them last December between Christmas and new year and bought lots of half price peppermint bark with snack credits so they don’t normally stop taking them over Christmas.

They obviously get money for the credits otherwise they wouldn’t do it. I’d suspect that they prefer having the credits otherwise they wouldn’t do anywhere close to the amount of business they do.

I think they’re either scaling back or it’s hit or miss depending on who you get. I was able to get DVC discount on top of all of their offers in January. I had about 20 snack credits to use at the start of the month and didn’t get either.

We ended up with too many snack credits because it’s just too much food. We don’t pay out of pocket for anything, and last time we took insulated bottles for water so didn’t even buy fountain sodas.

Why would a business be annoyed with someone buying there products.
I am sure they will be more annoyed when there sales drop. The shop still gets paid of Disney just like a credit card.
It sounds like Disney stopping them from using it, as it’s disney who benefits if you don’t use your credits .as they have already got your money upfront

I was in there yesterday spending credits - they have a list of items that they will provide for a snack credit at the moment. On the retail side that was only the chocolate bars - not the bags of squares.
