Getting the best out of Disney dining plans

We are 2 adults and 3 children 11/10/6. I plan to share qs meals but my question is can we share TS meals? We just won’t need 5 adults meals. We don’t check in to Disney immediately from our flight so we have 7 full days and 6 nights of dining plan credits - is like to spread them out if possible.

You can share as long as it’s not a buffet or family style meal.

Brilliant thank you for the quick reply.

I have exactly the same dilemma, our DS has cows milk protein allergy and after previous trips we know all too well the limited allergy options on the kids menu. Several times he ended up with an adult meal for the sake of variety if nothing else.

At the moment I'm on the fence about how this is going to play out but I may just end up paying the £20 top up even if its just for my own peace of mind.

Can someone tell me how people are finding the new separation of the QS credits? We have always just bought adult meals as our DD is adventurous and to be honest not many of the kids QS look that appetising. If we can no longer do this it would change how we plan

I've updated the first post with 2021 prices. I'll update again if/when free dining is released with upgrade prices and with DDP plus prices once they show on the UK site. I'd rather not complicate things with US prices.

Thanks, Having never done the dining plans but looking to this is one of the most useful posts on the DIBB. Thanks

Hi all

Just read this under the dining plan offerings page when researching 2021 hols:

"Snack is a choice of ONE of the following: medium fountain soft drink, one 20oz bottle of soft drink or water, 12oz coffee or hot chocolate or hot tea, single serving pre packed milk or juice, one popcorn scoop (single serving box), one frozen ice cream novelty or piece of fruit at selected locations."

I don't recall it being so specific before, though I've never booked a plan before so can't bs sure - has this changed?

Thanks in advance

No I think it’s always said that.
