Dining Plan, using 2 meals on 1 place worth it?

[BrPanthers99]

Are there any places worth using 2 meals on?

Not sure what you mean.
Do you mean are there any restaurants that are worth using 2 TS credits?
Or do you mean any restaurant worth going to twice while on vacation?

Personally I don't think any restaurant is good enough to use 2 TS credits on, but that's just my opinion. The food is usually close to a non signature restaurant, you are just "paying" more for the atmosphere.

Now it is also a personal decision whether a place is good enough to visit twice in one vacation.......my opinion yes and no.
Yes I would love to visit a few twice, but with so much to choose from we don't. We only go once per visit to our favorites.

I'll offer a different view.

When we go and get the dining plan it is free - so I'm sure that affects my perspective on it. And we usually stay 8 nights...I have to honestly tell you that I am about restauranted out by day 5 or so - honestly the meals are so big and so much more than I usually eat - by the end of the trip I'm not even enjoying it much.

SO, dh and I have been tweaking our way of using it and next August we will be doing 2 or 3 two credit locations, specifically for the reason that we don't want 8 sit down meals.

Is it 'worth' it - heck yes, but again, it'll be free so anything we get is more than worth what we paid.

With 2 kids, 7 and 9 when we go - the dinner show (hoping to do Hoop de doo this time) will be entertaining - I'm not expecting 4 star cuisine. We might do LeCellier but since we know we love the food there - it will be worth it to us.

Just got back and did 4 signatures (Artist Point, Yachtsman, Citricos, Jiko) while I was there. IMO, all 4 of them were very much worth it. Of course, I was on Deluxe so the value per credit is a little different. (Of the four, Jiko was the best).

Dinner Shows, you may be a bit better off paying OOP, as you can typically get better times or seating than on the DDP (plus, financially they aren't really "worth" 2 credits). However, in the end, it's all up to how you want to do it. You will come out ahead on the normal DDP by spending all of your credits, if you want to throw in one or two signatures (or other 2 credit meals) you'll be fine.

Just from the sheer amount of food you get on the DP, i always wanted to use up 2TS credits every now and then. It beats having unused credits at the end of your trip. We can't eat TS every day.
