Do you get tired of eating out for every meal?

[choirfarm]

I'm just curious. This is one thing I worry about with the "free" dining. We eat out maybe twice a month. To be honest most food doesn't taste as good as what we have at home. Even when we have taken the occasional vacation where we are at a hotel, we have always had a cooler with us for sandwhiches and/or breakfast and still be the end of the week just eating dinner's out for the week, we are SO tired of going out to eat instead of eating REAL food...if that makes sense. When we just returned from Ethiopia we were dead tired after out 18 hour flight and had no food, so we did go out to eat Mexican food and to buy a few groceries, but the next day we stayed home. I fixed homemade plain buscuits, raisin buscuits (we have homemade jam: pear, peach, strawberry and blackberry that I put up every year) scrambled eggs and owens sausage. For lupper that day around 2 my husband grilled a couple of steaks and I baked some potatoes and made green beans from the freezer from our garden. YUM.. no weird sauces just plain, good food...... Oh, yeah.. I made a pear crisp for dessert. Warm..with vanilla ice cream..

as a stay at home mom and the only preparer of meals, i can honestly say no i never get sick of other people cooking for me.

 

[choirfarm]

I guess that is what I wonder. I get tired of the way it tastes. Does that make sense? And I've heard lots of people saying the food tastes the same at each place...

I could do 2 weeks on vacation and eat out for every single meal, beyond that I want a meal at home. We had a long honeymoon in Hawaii and we were happy to get home and cook our own food again- about 12 nights is my limit. Then I want something I cook myself.

We love to try new and exciting foods. Sure a plain steak is good sometimes, but I want inventive dishes and a mix of new flavors and textures so we can try to duplicate them and come up with our own variations. We are firm believers in eating dishes cooked to the chef's recommendation and trying the sauces associated to the dish.

When it comes to vacation for us, we want people to do as much for us as possible. This includes making us meals, doing our laundry, cleaning our place, etc.

You mention things being the same, sure I think there are some common dishes, espicially at Disney, but there are some very different ones too. You find more commonalities in 1TS restaurants then 2TS as well.

IT's A VACATION!!! I say let someone else do the prep work, cooking AND dishes!!! Enjoy yourself!!!

We don't get tired of eating out. We do it so seldom anymore. Will be at WDW for 8 days and using the DxDP. I have made ADRs at a variety of restautants so hopefully a variety of food.
As for it all tasting the same? My food taste the same each time I make it. My spagetti is always the same, Ham steak always the same, chicken always the same, etc. etc. I don't have much time to do any real cooking any more. Difference is when eating out everyone gets to sit down together and converse while other people do the cooking and cleaning.

I'm with you choirfarm, nothing beats home cooking. My wife is a great cook and I have a smoker that I do lots of meat in that is way better than any restaraunt. And you just cant beat homemade jams and fresh homemade biscuts or fresh veggies from the garden.

 

[sjaakie]

We travel for 30 days though Florida and WDW and outdoor eating is wonderful

 

[NashBridges]

just to avoid eating crap food for our upcoming vacation. If we weren't on the DDP, chances are we'd be eating burgers, fries and chicken fingers for 10 days. At least now I know we'll have some great meals (that I don't have to cook, so bonus).

 

[SnowWtch]

At home I love to cook and experiment but on vacation I love for someone else to do the work and experiment for me.

 

[Iri920]

No, I love to go out to eat. As a SAHM we don't go out to eat too often and I make most of our meals from scratch every night. I'm a pretty good cook if I do say so myself and I enjoy my cooking, but the last thing I want to do on vacation is prepare any kind of food.

 

[iluvpluto27]

No, we don't get tired of eating out. We enjoy trying new restaurants at home, and it's no different at WDW. Saying that we normally do one TS a day, but this time we've got 2 TS booked for every day of our 14 night trip. I am a little worried I'm going to be sick, not so much of eating out, but of food altogether by the time we come home!!

 

[Haley]

I think the food in Ethiopia is different than WDW.

Seriously you might be pleasantly surprised by the restaurants at Disney. I don't think all the food tastes the same.

You can certainly ask for "no sauce" on any dishes.

If I could afford to eat out every night of the week I would. I hate cooking!!!

 

[Claire&TheBoys]

Nope, we love eating out! We vary where we eat and what we get, so it's not like we're eating cheeseburgers every day. Although my 6-year-old would love to eat cheeseburgers every day!

I can honestly say that I do get tired of the same park food, especially after a few days, even if I go to 1 TS meal per day.

We do not use any of the dining plans but do have the DDE card. While I enjoy the food and service of signature dining, we have found that we also enjoy dining off site for a more relaxed, quiet and less crowded atmosphere.

Room service is the one area we like to splurge, especially while watching fireworks, and have found the food to be excellent.

 

[Katiebell]

Nope, never get tired of eating out while on vacation I was a stay at home mom for years and did 95% of the cooking. Now I work 40 hours a week, and even though I still enjoy cooking, at the end of a long work day it's often the last thing in the world I want to do.

On vacation, I want to try new things, be waited on, and have no kitchen to clean! I don't want to bring food with us into the parks, although we may have a few snack type things in our room for a quick breakfast a couple of days, and we'll definitely make real coffee in our room every morning -- but that's DH's job
