As far as I can remember the only time we had trouble using the card as we saw fit was at DTD at Wolfgang pucks cafe. They were rude in general (could only get pizza even though it was more expensive than what we wanted) and we didn't want pizza.
No one batted an eye when we asked to pay OOP for the kids.
I asked at some places if my then 9 yr old had to order off the kids menu and was told that he could order off the adult menu in some cases. (When this happened my two kids split an adult meal.)
We bought 3A CS meals off a card that said 2A 2C without anyone batting an eye. What if you just want a big lunch ..??? For example if you got a sandwich and some soup - that is 2A CS meals. Who is to say I don't want to eat that much and grab a bottle of water and a 2 cookies for later?
It never hurts to ask. Period. Until they stop pooling the credits it really does not matter. We could barely keep track of how many TS / CS/ SNK credits we had ... no way we could keep track of Adult vs. Child and etc. Not everyone ate at every meal. One day I had a tummy ache and just ate soup ... another day my DS was not hungry and ate a little off our plates.
WDW may very well re-do the system at some point to make it keep track of A vs C credits and if they do that is fine and I will not complain. Right now, they don't ...
Case in point - I had 2 TS credits left the last day of our trip. They were probably C credits. When we got our bill I gave the CM our card and told her we only had 2 credits left. She did not ask "Child credits or Adult credits?" she just took the card and deducted the 2 ADULT meals.
This is because they are pooled. Period. I honestly think the CM's that don't let you "pool" them are very much like the ethics police on here ... they are taking matters into thier own hands as far as what they think is right or how it should be.
I am tired of people like LewisC calling people greedy or not following the rules. That is simply a false statement.
I cannot use my DS ticket as it is in the computer as a CHILD ticket. WDW did not seperate A vs C credits and I truly believe they did it on purpose. Meals cost pennies for them and if someone uses a C credit to get an A meal then pays OOP for a child meal ... then has credits to use again at another meal then pays AGAIN OOP for a child meal....Disney is making out like a bandit.
Not to say they won't change it just as they have free valet parking and other perks.
But for now - it IS within the rules to use your credits as you see fit.
