I've been reading about dining credits being 'pooled' among party members and would appreciate clarification.

If there are 5 people in our party (i.e.;room) does each band contain the full amount of credits (15 ts & 10 snacks/day for deluxe) and the 'pool' is drained as each member of the party uses them OR does each band have 3 ts and 2 snacks/day on them?
 
They are all lumped together. The cast member taking your order will just use one band each time to reduce credits for the whole group.
 


I'm not sure but I think you can track your credits on the app.

If you have the latest version of the app and you are not a DVC member staying on points, yes. Several recent reports indicate that the dining plans are not showing up in the app for DVC stays yet.
 
Nothing is on the magic bands.
Everything is linked through MDE.
Magic bands simply access whatever is linked to MDE.
Each band will be able to access any dining credits.
Yes as each person uses credits the credits will go down.
One person could use their magic band to drain all of the credits if they wanted to.
 
I presume it works the same for all dining plans?

I ask because one in our party has medical issues that may keep them resort bound for some time. Has anyone got a TS meal to go? Is that permitted? It would be nice to bring back something other than CSfor him.

Thank you for helping me understand this! Your replys are appreciated!
 


It has been a while, but we got a couple of to-go meals for my brother on our 2012 trip when health issues kept him from doing full days in the parks with us. We used TS credits for take-out from 50s Prime Time and Kona on nights when he went back to the room before our ADR. I'm not sure there is an official policy but with Disney it never hurts to ask; most CMs will do whatever they can to accommodate guests.

There is no take-out like at home where you call or go online, order, and go pick it up.

HOWEVER, wherever you eat your TS meal, you CAN order an extra TS meal and ask them to box it up and then take it back to your family member. It won't include any kind of eating utensils, so you may want to pack some or pick up some from your resort QS.
 
Yes, that is what I meant, bringing back a meal from whereever we dine.

Good to know it's doable!
