DELUXE DINING

[Jetta8300]

We book one 1-credit and one signature for each night we're staying. We do come out ahead on the deluxe plan and now won't do it any other way!

this. I've done the math and the deluxe plan works out if either-

1) You actually eat 3 one credit table service meals per day, or
2) You eat at a lot of signature restaurants.

I've done the math for my husband and I and it comes out almost completely even (for 6 nights) by doing counter service breakfast each day, table service for lunch each day, and table service for dinner each day, with 2/6 nights being signature. With that plan it's a wash for us based on what we would order, but buying the dining plan I'm sure we would splurge a little more and order more expensive meals and eat more appetizers.

You would REALLY come out on top if every single day you did a snack credit (or pay OOP) for breakfast, and 1 credit table service for lunch, and a 2 credit signature dinner. With apps and desserts for those meals, that's a LOT of food.

We have done deluxe dining the last three years and have eaten like royalty. It is great and really gives us a chance to take a few built in breaks during the day while eating extravagantly. It is definitely a lot of food though.....lol

We'll be going Deluxe in May! My family did Deluxe a few years ago, and while it was a lot of food, we absolutely loved it. We also did three meals per day, which we won't be this time--by the end of the trip, we weren't finishing a lot of the food (I remember ordering only gelato for dessert at the end because I just couldn't do more food!).

This time, we are only doing 3 of our 7 days with three table service meals (pre-park opening breakfast, afternoon lunch, and a late dinner). On the remainder, we'll have a 1 credit table service breakfast or lunch, and a signature meal for dinner. We love signature meals so it works out well for us in terms of value. And with snacks, we can hold off between meals without being hungry.

Definitely do Deluxe dining!!! But I would recommend that you consider minimizing your 3 meal days and take advantage of Signature dinners instead; and if you have 3 meal days, spread them out as much as possible.
