am i crazy to cancel DDP 19 days out?

[Floridadreaming2016]

I just went on weight watchers and want more flexibility to my eating plans. All my family wants is to sit down inside for meals. i also will need to eat a better breakfast than cold food in my room. i discovered my family would prefer to eat a hot breakfast too. I am thinking the dining plan is a bad idea. i would like to get my money back and put it all in disney gift cards instead. What do you think? Am I going to be penalized for this?

You'll get hit with a $50 change fee for the price going down. Within 2 weeks another $15 or so document fee too.

I think you will get hit with the change fee.

Here is what I would do. Use one CS credit at the food court and split it between two of you. Or order two meals and split between three. You can have your hot breakfast and manage your intake.

Use your snack for a yogurt or fruit. Swap the dessert for a side that works with your plan or stretches the credit at lunch between two.


At lunch do the same think. Make your CS credits work for you. Irder salads with chicken.

Dinner, switch your starch for more veg. Ask for salad instead of starch. Ask your server if there is sugar free desserts or if there is a sub such as a fruit plate.

I think you can still be on the dining plan and make mindful choices. I believe that some restaurants will allow a substitution of a salad/fruit instead of dessert. You might be able to search on this forum for what is allowed, but i believe it varies from restaurant to restaurant
