Disney Parkhopper with Meal Certificates?

[2by2kat]

On the October Mousesavers newsletter they had a Parkhopper ticket with a Meal certificate plan.(Orlando tickets or something) Has anyone tried this? We are going in October and can't get the regular meal plan because of using our friends DVC Old Key West resort points. If you have, what is included? Sounds so reasonable. Want to find out about it.

They are just the regular MYW park tickets with quick and casual meal vouchers thrown in (at a premium price actually)... the vouchers are only good at counter service places (with a couple of noted exceptions)....up until about a year ago you could buy the vouchers for $11 to 11.50 each at several brokers and at that price they were a great value...however at the current price (over $16 each) they aren't such a great deal at most locations.

The only places you can use them to great advantage now IMHO...is the Pepper market at CSR and at Beaches and Cream at the BC....you can probably break even at the moderate food courts or at SSR in Artist pallate (not to be confused with the WL's Artisit Point) if you select the most expensive menu items.

You will not break even at any of the regular counter service places in the parks I don't think....but maybe if you worked really hard.

Essentially you are paying over $16 for a counter service meal. You might want a couple of the vouchers to do Beaches and Cream and/or the PepperMarket but I think that would be about it.

Oh yeah....you can use them at the Sand Trap Bar and Grill over at the golf course.....they were a good value there too, and it is a nice get away, but you have to have a car and drive to get there.

Thanks SB. I didn't do the breakdown or look at the included restaurants. Just went back and checked it out. Looks like you are right. Won't work for us. With two adults and 2 small kids, (3&4) it will cost us money rather than save us anything. Guess I should know better when it sounds to good to be true!
