Since you save money by buying a ticket for a longer duration... I would think most people would buy the 7 day tickets, since days 4,5,6,and 7 are only a few dollars more.

If one person buys a 7 day ticket... all the people in your party have to buy a 7 day ticket.

So unless you are season pass holders and only want to buy a one day ticket... I don't see why you would want to give up the savings of buying your tickets in a package deal, to try and save the same amount of money on the dining plan credits, yet... have to turn-around and spend more on tickets?

The other Question that pops into my mind.... If it is stealing, but you don't get caught, does that make it okay in your world?

I've always told my children that good character is doing the right thing even when nobody's looking.

I suspect that the people had planned to eat at a few of the 2 credit experiences, and the one $75 upgrade would quickly cover the costs.. and continue to let them eat..

Some people know no shame.

For our trip in August, we had the plan, (6 of us.. 3 adults, 2 juniors and a child who was 8) and we asked about upgrading the child to an adult (as he is a good eater) and were able to move him to an adult by paying the difference, but they had to mark his age on our plan as being 10... which we thought was odd....

Simply the way the system works. Children 3-9 are given the Children's Dining Plan. In order to get the system to give you the Adult plan for him, he has to be 10 or older. There isn't any other way to get an 8-year-old on the Adult plan.
(The drawback, of course, is that you then would've had to buy him an Adult park ticket, so it works both ways... AFAIK, there isn't a way to upgrade the kid on the dining plan but not the park ticket)
