So my trip was booked last night, can I get a Whoop Whoop!!!
But after all my research, waiting and watching for Disney Dining to come out in the end I didn't book a trip with it included.
Why? I hear you say, well even though food on my last trip was the most costly out of pocket expense and I would have loved to have preloaded that expenses, it wasn't meant to be. (Although might get a preloaded credit card just for our food)
To be fair it's mostly down to me, even though I was pretty flexible with my dates, I was not flexible with what area I wanted to stay in or flights.
So I definitely wanted to stay in and around the boardwalk area and I need to be able to fly Premium Economy , this is mainly due to the fact my son as ASD so having the extra space on the flight is a must and the freedom with being able to walk to two parks really helps.
So when I could get the flights at a reasonable price, I couldn't seem to get either the boardwalk or the Yacht or Beach Club. So we're going back to the Dolphin and saving around £650 per person (that was on some preliminary research and prices may vary lol )
so if I can keep my food bill below - rough estimate with exchange rates - $200 a day I should break even.
I know that seems a lot but considering on our last trip our Chef Mickey bill was around $170, we might have to put in a few more off site eats our plan.
