maybe it is because on the DXDP there are ONLY credits -meaning you can use them for quick service or sit down restaurants? The worst way to use a credit would be a child's meal at a QS but the best use would be to use a child's credit on an adult meal.
if I can put all 3 of my grandchildren = ages 5 5 4 , my dh and myself on the deluxe plan in our 2br at AKL and then put the other 4 adults in the studio at AKL and use all the credits to pay for everyones dining then that is a plus for me. that gives us enough credits to have 8 meals each so we can eat a couple of signatures and and essentially break even on the cost. I do not feel like I am cheating the system = just getting good use out of my dining credits. I have book BOG =which is going to 2 credits- and CRT for a MVMCP night -o I may book Ohana or the Luau but I will probably just book regular table service for 1 more meal and let the others use the credits how they like- be it QS or sit down- we are staying 5 nights so that is 75 credits for 9 people -8 meals each and if I pay oop for kids meals at one of the restaurants or they split a meal - I have shared meals with my adult daughter at plenty of restaurants and used one credit so we will good to go on the amount of credits we need.
I my dh and I don't need a refillable mug so we will give those mugs to the other room. I have never bought the deluxe plan but this time it just works.
Oh, I completely understand how it works and what you describe is perfectly allowable the way things are currently setup for the deluxe plan. My point was that it would be an easy thing for them to change and enforce by just splitting up the credits in the pool by adult and child if in fact they wanted to limit children to only ordering off of the kids menu. There would still be no distinction between QS and TS on deluxe, but they can be used interchangeably anyway, but as you said clearly not as much value to eat at QS on a deluxe dining plan credit.
