I am sorry. That was inappropriate and snide. I will refrain from being critical and nasty; believe it or not, I can be nice. If this is okay with the board and Mackey Mouse, can my post to libinatorsmom be removed? I am hoping she need never see it if she has not already. Apologies, libinatorsmom, if you have read it, and I hope you have a good trip with good meals.
Apostolic4Life, I deserved the sarcasm. But I don't think referring to me as "deplorable" or "troll" was necessary.
I am, in fact, new. I have already learned masses from the info, advice, TRs. It is somewhat ironic that I am in the dining info, though. I have been fed via central line for over a decade, due to a form of muscular dystrophy. I have a kind of weird situation, and I don't know enough about Disney dining in general, much less the DDP, to address it. I am hoping someone here can help.
I am going on my first WDW trip in MANY years in October with my husband and my aide. We needed the villa space, so we ended up with a package that has DDP for all three of us. Instead of trying to get a refund for my share, we figured that having the DDP for me could work out. I cannot swallow, but I still like how food tastes, and occasionally I chew bites of food and spit them out into Dixie cups. Don't worry, we ask to be seated as remotely as possible, and my DH and CNA are really discreet-- they practically shove my head into a paper cup so no one has to look at chewed food (sorry, it sounds icky, but I miss food!)
We thought I could order whatever sounded good to me, and after I have a taste of it, DH and CNA can split the rest. They eat A LOT, and can easily consume the extra dinner and dessert between them. The snacks and CS on my DDP, they can just redeem and divide as they like. BTW, they still want to stop at Publix (we are driving) to pick up snacks and breakfast foods to keep at the villa. They are HUGE eaters, and burn many calories taking care of (and putting up with) me.
Is this against the rules of the DDP? I've read it over, and I can't find any specific rule we would be breaking, but I'm new at this-- we were amazed that the DDP existed at all. We like the pre-paid aspect a lot, and it should save us money.
I'd be very grateful for any help you can offer.
Again, sorry I behaved so obnoxiously.
