change in disney dinning plan

[twinkletoesmom]

It looks like they are changing the dinning plan a bit. I heard later this year alot of the charc dinning that now are only 1 table sevice are going to be 2. I'm sooooo sad. I guess you can see it on the wdw website under the rest. dinng guide. Does anyone see a bright side to this or can see why this may not be a big deal.

I'd love to know where you heard this. I can't imagine them changing the plan mid-year. So many people would cancel their plans.

I know they did this with CRT but I didn't know there were other examples. The dining plan has been very successful so if they can find ways to make more money now that they have so many loyal dining plan customers, they will certainly do it. They have also changed the policy on the DDE card, hiking up the price and charging $25 for a second card, which used to be free.

Cindy's went to 2 TS credits because the prices went up so much. Since the prices are now more in line with what a Signature restaurant meal costs, the Dining Plan charges 2 TS, just like the other Signatures. The meals now include a photo package as well as the actual meal and character interaction. I guess the silver lining in the price increase is that fewer people will be willing to spend the $$ or TS credits, making CRT an easier ADR to get. I know we won't bother trying to go, now that it is so costly (DD doesn't care that much for Princesses, anyway).

Is it only the dinner that is 2 credits or is the breakfast also 2 credits? I was under the understanding that it was only the dinner.

it is the breakfast, lunch and dinner
