We almost always get the dining plan....the past two trips we have gotten it free (although 2012 I paid the difference to upgrade from the free QSDP to the basic since we stayed at Pop). I have a feeling we won't get that free since we want to stay at AOA for our 2014 trip. I LOVE the dining plan....just the knowing that I've already paid for our food makes me feel comfortable. So DH threw me for a loop when we were talking the other day and he suggested us NOT get the DDP next year. He suggested taking the money that the DDP would cost us and putting it on a Disney gift card. He said that way we an still basically order what we want but we wouldn't be confined to order desert at every meal and if we want an appetizer we can do that. I do understand his point.... Especially since a lot of times the deserts at QS places are crummy. It is just totally OUT of my comfort zone!!! When I'm on the dining plan I don't look at prices....if I'm paying I'll order the cheapest thing on the menu. I'm sure that we'll come out ahead and have money left over for souvenirs if we do it his way. And he says that technically if we put the DP on a gift card our food will still be paid for before we leave home. Has anyone else ever done this??? Advice anyone???
