DDP Planning Advice Please

[AgentP]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to get the most bang for my buck with the DDP. I am going to be eating at the Maya Grill the first night of our stay and the next morning just my daughter and I are eating breakfast at Akershus. At the Maya grill, can I use the DDP only for my husband and son and pay cash for my daughter and I so that I can use the DDP for the more expensive Princess breakfast? Thanks for your help!

No problem, just let them know at the beginning of the meal that you and your daughter will be paying cash and DH and DS will be using their credits.

We have found the serving sizes at Maya Grill to be huge. After sending back a lot of unfinished food we now share. Their Caesar salad is big enough for 2 and one of their "platters" can feed 4.

Thank you both very much for your help! It is good to know about the serving sizes, as I don't mind sharing with my husband! We have never eaten there before, but we wanted to try something new this trip.

We always get the dining plan and always ends up with credits leftover that we try to use all on our last day.

Here's my strategy: We don't use counter service credits on the day we arrive and just grab something on way out of airport. These 3 counter services we save for our departure day. We are 3. For breakfast, my kids split a counter service (we never use a table service for breakfast) and I use a snack credit and get a bagel. We then use the remaining 2 counter services for lunch and split between the 3 of us. Wherever we go, there is always more than enough food using 2 credits for lunch. Sometimes we can't finish what we get. We then use the 3 table service credits for dinner. This works well for us.
