Well according to the hard core people here I am a scammer!
I still do not see it that way but I guess I am willing to be labeled as such.
I never agreed with buying a child's meal plans and using it to buy adults meals. I think that was wrong!
I just disagree with the definition of "nontransferable".
I still say that when I pay for the plan I can feed those meals to anyone who I want. I can use any quantity of meal credits at a time that I choose. If I want to buy a lunch for a family at a table next to me and I am willing to use my credits to do so then I should be able to do that. When I am out of my credits then I can pay out of pocket for anything else I want.
I consider transferring of the plan when I sell my plan to someone else. Not when I give a meal to someone else instead of myself.
It will make it difficult for my family to use the meal plan in the manner that we have the last six of so times. I know that our situation is not the norm but I really do not feel that we have in any way cheated or scammed anyone.
We have a disabled family member who normally can not stay the nights with us at the resort but who still loves to spend days at Disney and enjoys eating a bit with the family when possible. We share many meals but for special things like HDDR or a family style dinner we save an extra credit so that person can be with our family. I guess we could pay out of pocket extra for those meals but it just seems so wasteful of food to do that and it is an extra expense when money can be very tight to do these trips to begin with.
I know that many will disagree with me but I will miss the way the plan use to be. I am afraid the next thing to go will be sharing of any meals. When that happens then we will go back to not using the dining plan at all and that will be ashame because I have enjoyed the ease of it and not having to worry about how much extra we have spent.
So call me scammer. I am not afraid or hiding.
I think it is all in the interpretation and for us it will just mean fewer family meals or shows or one of us will go have a CS meal alone while the rest of us go.
Oh well we will cope but I will miss the old days.
