2009 Dining

[kaytieeldr]

I think the current plan would have been okay had they released they reduced the price by more than $1. I guess the bean counters thought they were doing us a favor by giving us $1 back. Had they dropped it by $8 - $10, that would have made more sense and I am sure more easily accepted.

Well, with the average dinner entree price at a 1-credit restaurant being in the $20 vicinity, and desserts at least $5, and drinks around $2... then add in the tax... bringing the price of a TS meal to $28.75,,, it doesn't make any sense that Disney would drop the DDP cost to between $28.99 and $30.99 and STILL include an entire Counter Service meal AND a snack.

*****

Opinion only: A choice between appetizer and dessert would - in addition to the very reasonable explanations provided by apostolic4life, above - discriminate against solo diners.

*****

I voted "yes", Disney will make changes in 2009 - but changes that will benefit them, not necessarily changes in response to us. And I predict their stockholders will thank them.
