Currently, you could totally do that. One room could even have no plan at all! As long as someone with the dining plan is “paying” for the meals, they don’t care if the others at the table are part of the same reservation, or part of the dining plan at all. Sharing credits between more people than are paying for the dining plan is one of the biggest “loopholes” that can make the deluxe plan a great value.I have a question. The next time we go, we will be booking two rooms: one for me and my husband and on for our daughter and son-in-law. Could we book one room on DDP and one on the DxDP and share credits?
I've always wanted to try the deluxe plan (signatures, here I come!) but have been worried about the volume. I always do regular for the prepaid aspect and by using snack credits for breakfast, break even or come out slightly ahead.
Thank you so much for your response! CaraCurrently, you could totally do that. One room could even have no plan at all!

It doesn’t sound relevant to your situation, but DxDP credits are different from the standard DDP’s TS credits in that they are also “pooled,” and not sorted out by age. So you can use a credit technically purchased for a child in the room on an adult’s meal. I most often see one room with DxDP and one with QSDP (where the credits are also pooled and don’t have to be used on kids meals) or nothing at all. But if you do like a lot of TS restaurants, having the second room on the DDP works as well.
I agree with you I chose to have the deluxe dining plan and with the meals I had it was financially worth it and will do it again next yearDifferent strokes for different folks. The regular dining plan just doesn't work for us, not enough TS and too many QS but DxDP does. I know we're not typical though.
