Dining Plan Guru's - I need advice!

[MickeyManiacMom]

I know someone has a spreadsheet and knows how to anaylyze this somehow to make sense!

Ok, here is the deal. We are doing free dining and we have 5 TS meals booked, but we have 4 days worth of free dining. We don't mind paying OOP for one of the meals. Off of the following restaurants which meal would be best to pay OOP for? Our party is 3 adults and 2 children. Or does it equal just about the same at all of them?

Coral Reef - Dinner
Chef Mickey's - Breakfast
Tony's Town Square - Dinner
Whispering Canyon Cafe - Dinner
1900 Park Faire - Dinner

Hi
If it was me I would pay out of pocket at Chef Mickeys for breakfast. And use your credits for the more expensive restaurants.

The answer is: IT DEPENDS

The costs range

Coral Reef - Dinner Cheapest entree (excluding the tofu skewers) $21 to $32 + drink + dessert Kid's meal $7.60.
Chef Mickey for breakfast is $23 for Adults and $13 for kids
Tony's Town Square - Dinner $17- 28 + drink + dessert. Kid's meal $7.60
Whispering Canyon Cafe - Dinner $13 - $22 Kids $7.60
1900 Park Faire - Dinner Adult $30 Kids $15

So I'm betting on Tony's or Whispering Canyon

If you go to Tony's and get
Chicken Parmigiana - Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast with Marinara sauce topped with Melted Mozzarella over Spaghetti $16.99 + Water
Shrimp Scampi - Linguini with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Asparagus tossed in a Garlic sauce $16.99 +Water
And two kid meals and share a couple of desserts at $6 each. Your total is only $61

But if you both like the Vegetable Enchilada - cowboy beans and quinoa pilaf with enchilada sauce and Tillamook cheddar cheese $13.99 and water and 2 dessert. Whispering canyon will only run you $55.

But you could spend Much more at any place. You need to check out the menus and see what you would probably order.

Good Luck and HAVE FUN

You want to pay OOP for the least expensive meal. Using all ears net pricing, you have 2 possibilities:

Chef Mickey Breakfast is 22.99/12.99 (non "holiday") you may need add surcharge depending on your dates. Most likely this will be the least expensive meal ...

But depending on what you order at Whispering Canyon Cafe you total pre-tax/pre-tip check may be lower specially if you pay holiday surcharges:
An adult ordering the veggie enchilada (13.99), soda (2.19), and any on the desserts except Khalua cake (5.49) comes to 21.77.
he most expensive dinner/appy/drink is the AYCE skillet (24.99), a Khula cake (5.99) , and AYCD Milk Shake totaling 34.47
The childs min price is 7.59 and max price 9.59.
To date, WCC did not have a surcharge in holiday periods.
