Dining Plan Question

[Stingrae1]

For a family of three is it better to go with the dining plan or on our own? My daughter is yery young yet and does not eat very much.

depends on if you schedule your evening around dinner. far as value for your money its well worth it. and we leave in 2 days.

I think the Dining Plan is good value. Last year we had the basic Dining plan and found that even with our 4 year old daughter it was worth it. We paid for 1 meal out of pocket and that was the buffet at Crystal Palace and for 2 adults and 1 child it was over $70 before tax and tip. The total cost of the dining plan is not much more than that for 3.

We are leaning toward getting the plan.

Not sure how old your daughter is but we are a family of 3. Our daughter is now 8 and we are doing the dining plan again. She was 6 the last time we went and did the dining plan. We loved it. It is around $10.00 for the child each day and in my opinion it was well worth the money. Back in 2006 they didn't check or care whether or not she ordered a counter service off the adult or child's menu....not sure how it will be this time. She got tired of the nuggets...standard kids stuff and occasionally wanted the adult menu and it was definitely a money saver. Even if she didn't order off the adult menu I would still suggest it. The kids meals are not cheap (but not expensive) and especially with the added snack (up to $4) it was worth it. Like I said not sure how old she is nor how big of an eater she is but this is just my preference.:)
