The dining plans are part of a package, so you'e have to book 2 packages with tickets, burning up any dining savings. What I hope to do some day is a 5 day stay at POP with DxDP, then move to Beach Club for 2 nights room only and eat counter service the last 2 days. Probably could accumulate enough snacks first 5 days to get most of the way through those 2 days.
