Hello Brenda!
My family loves the
Disney Dining Plans because they make budgeting simple and offer great flexibility when using dining credits. When you and your spouse dine at Be Our Guest in the Magic Kingdom, you can absolutely use your remaining credits to cover one person’s meal while paying cash or charging the second meal.
Since I’m a bit of a planner (understatement), I like to look closely at the cost of each meal when deciding how to use dining credits. In many cases, it can be more budget-friendly to pay cash for the two-credit table-service meals and save your credits for one-credit locations instead.
For example (just to give you an idea—these numbers aren’t exact), dinner at
Sebastian’s Bistro (one of my absolute favorites) might cost around $40 per person, and
50’s Primetime Cafe might be about $50 per person. Meanwhile, dinner at
Be Our Guest could be around $72 per person. In this case, using your two credits separately at one-credit locations could stretch your budget further.
I recommend checking out menus and prices ahead of time to help you plan. If you need anything else, just let me know—I'm happy to help!
