Am I going to be sorry???

[momtoejanda]

We always do the Deluxe plan because my kids love the character meals. We have been to all them multiple times and I was thinking we could skip it this time. We are going to go with the basic dining plan.

Does anyone have any tips because if I am going to spend a lot OOP I might as well get the deluxe again. Meaning if I have one table service (i was thinking lunch) quick service for dinner and then I have to pay for breakfast?????

Anyone who uses this plan please let me know what you do......thanks

We have used the regular dining plan twice and will be using it again this August. We usually have breakfast in our room from groceries we buy at a nearby grocery store, cereal, pastries, fruit, etc and then a counter service for lunch and then we go to 1 credit dinner 4 of the nights and a 2 credit place 2 of the nights. Then for the other 2 nights we either order a pizza or eat at a counter service place which we pay for out of pocket. All your character meals are only 1 credit so you could get 1 of them a day if you which.

We also eat breakfast in our room. Since we drive, we just bring light breakfast foods with us. I usually buy the pre-packaged "bad" stuff that I don't let the kids have at home: pop tarts, honey buns, donut sticks, etc. That way they still feel like they are having something special. Then we do CS for lunch & TS for dinner. We use our snack credits mid-afternoon. If I notice mid-trip that we have alot of snacks credits left, we'll get OJ & chocolate milk in the resort food court to keep in the fridge in our room.

What about doing snacks for breakfast (yogurt and fruits) QS for lunch and TS for dinner. Dinner TS meals are the most expensive and would be better use of your DDP. the other one we do is late TS breakfast (caracters) snack in the afternoon and QS for dinner.

Usually we don't end paying OOP for anything. You can use a snack as breakfast. We tend to like the character buffets and if we have one of those we only have room for a counter service. Don't forget you also get a dessert with your lunch and dinner. A lot of times we would just keep that as a snack for later because we were just too full.

Enjoy!
