Dinning options

[Sven1990]

I have started the planning for my first Disney world vacation in fall 2017. Theres 3 people in our group and we all want to have 3 meals quick service or table service and 2 snacks a day. The cost of the deluxe plan seems a little too much. I found the tables in wonderland card which could help lower our cost. I'm curious to hear from those who have tried these plans and am open to suggestions.

You can't get the TIW unless you have an AP or are a Florida resident so unless one of those qualifies you, you are out on that. They have raised the price on it and I think (if I remember correctly) you have to spend at least $750 to break even, after that you start getting the advantage of the discount. I had one, expired today and I won't get a new one. With the old price you needed to spend $500 to start getting the discount, since I was there with my son and DIL and we all three enjoy a refreshing adult beverage or two, we hit the $500 at the end of the second day. Personally, the deluxe plan is just too much food for us. You get 3 table service meals a day and 2 snacks, we also don't like being tied down to having to eat that regimented every day. I tend to eat smaller meals, my son usually skips breakfast and eats one big meal a day and maybe something like nachos or fish and chips for his other meal. Rarely does the dining plan save money unless you are going to do buffets or character meals, it doesn't include tips or adult beverages. The regular plan is one QS, one TS and 2 snacks per day per person. Again, too much food, too regimented and doesn't save money for us.

That's what worries me about the dinning plan each one of us has a different eating schedule and being regimented could result in not all credits being used. I am definitely getting annual passes.
