Changes in Dining Plan

[dannewi]

The appetizers on the kids menu is really not an appetizer per se. They usually get a sm soup ,fruit or salad. They do not get smaller versions of adult appys

Thanks... I was curious about this. The brochure does not explain what exactly is considered an appetizer. Was not sure if it was an adult appetizer or something different.

Is this automatically included... or do you have to specify? Most menu's I am looking at do not have the appetizer listed.

I believe that just like any other marketing scheme, there were deep discounts in the first few years to picque interest. Obviously it worked, because while there are some people disappointed with the changes, most continue to use it if they did in the past. Also, they have been traveling the learning curve, thus the additions of the QS & DxDDP plans and the changes to the DDP.

Well, we still get the DDP even with the changes, although we are not happy about them. I would really like it if they allowed appetizer or dessert, even if the appetizer choice was limited to a green salad. We do not normally eat dessert, but do almost always have a salad with dinner.

Yes I know we do not need to get the dessert, I'm just saying it's frustrating to have to pay OOP for a salad when you don't plan to order dessert. It's especially odd to me given their promotion for healthy eating.

Well, but it's not that you don't have to get dessert - it's that, if the Dining Plan doesn't "work" for a given family or dining style, it probably makes more sense to just not purchase it in the first place. Pay out of pocket instead, and order exactly the courses you prefer.
