We are planning to spend 7 nights at the Disneyland Hotel the 3rd week of June. We are flying and will not have a car. Dragging snacks, water, etc with is not appealing but we really need that pop tart or bowl of cereal in the room to fuel our early entry and must have bottled water as one of us is very water sensitive.
If we stayed concierge, we would have their continental breakfast and snacks, etc. plus the other little pampering they do. We did concierge at the Yacht Club last December and were very happy and other than a couple of character meals just snacked with them. We thought that we "ate and drank" the difference in the room price plus they got us castle breakfast ressies and other valuable help that made our trip extra nice. But seems that the DL Hotel concierge is more limited in what is offered.
The dining plan is slightly less expensive that adding concierge. It is actually a bunch of vouchers: for character breakfasts, snacks (up to $5) and then some $10 and $15 vouchers. They have to be used at parks only not hotel or downtown disney and you do not get change. The total value is about 20% more than the actual cost to buy the plan. And a big part of our meals would then be pre-paid which is appealing. However, the WDW Travel cast member that explained the dining package to me didn't think much of it -
Any opinions or other suggestions?
