actually the dining plan is more expensive than paying out of pocket - but the point is, you don't feel it.....
at least i'm that way...every time i have to pull out $4 for a frozen coke or $12 for a burger it drives me insane...
if on the other hand, it's just a 'credit', i don't are what the price is up on the menu...
last year i paid for the dining plan for all 6 of us and rest assured that was EXPENSIVE, but i know it was worth it because otherwise my vacation would have been ruined every time i paid out of pocket for something that i thought was way overpriced..
i'm not sure i'm explaining what i mean...
That's the problem. I wouldn't shell out $4 for the frozen Coke. I might buy the burger or choose something else, but I know going in what the prices are. It helps to check out menus ahead of time to gauge the prices. You can buy a gift card with the money you'd put on the DDP, and you'd probably still come out ahead if you don't buy dessert at every meal or the most expensive entrees at dinner.
