Good morning! In all our trips to Disney, we have never used the dining plan. We've either stayed offsite or used TiW as it gives us a great discount on table service and then we've paid for counter service OOP. All those trips have been family trips...
I will be taking DD and a friend to Disney in the next couple weeks for a quick 4 day getaway. (Both girls are 13). I don't think we will do table service meals on this trip, so while I was considering renewing our TiW card, I think I will wait till our next family trip to do so.
My question is whether the QS dining plan makes sense for us. Is it going to make my life any easier or does it really not make much difference? I'm looking at a lot of the QS meals for lunch and dinner (what we would mostly do), and the cost seems to be hovering around $15 pp for an entrée and a drink. Two meals like that total just $30 per day and the meal plan I believe is $42 per day plus tax, right? I know there are dessert credits and snack credits and the mug, but is that adding enough value to make the plan worth it?
Even if it's a "wash" in terms of cost I will consider it if it somehow makes things easier. Staying onsite I would use our magic band to pay for everything so I don't know if it does make life easier or if it truly is more economical to do the DDP or if there's something else about it that makes it worth doing.
Any input is appreciated! Thank you!
