Doing my math.

Count with me please

Where a partie of three and staying nights,on the deluxe diningplan.

Does that mean we get 54 credits?

Staying on concierge level we don't need a separe breakfast so we could have an 2 credit meal every night?

 

[beroh2253]

You want us to do the math?
TO GET 54 CREDITS AND 3 OF YOU DIVIDE 54 BY 3 = 18 credits each
18 DIVIDED BY 2 PER DAY = 9
You will have to stay 9 days to get the 54 credits.

 

[sjaakie]

I`m so sorry. I find the system totally confusing. Maybe because its our first.
time.
My counting was different and wrong then?

The deluxe dining plan was 3 credits/points per day?

3 Persons with 3 points is 9.

6 nights by 9 points/credits was in my opinion 54 point.

Where did I miscalculate myself ?

We don’t want to starve on our vacation

How many nights are you staying? Sorry I don't see it anywhere in your OP.

Any way, here's how it breaks down.

For a party of 3 staying for 6nights/7days:

3 guests x 3 credits each = 9 credits (pooled together)
9 credits x 6 nights = 54 total credits (pooled together)

PLUS: 2 snack credits per person per night of stay
2 X 3 = 6 per night
6 x 6 days = 36 snack credits

PLUS: 3 refillable mugs

Breakdown:
54 credits for meals
36 credits for snacks
3 refillable mugs
Remember you can use these credits anyway you wish.

I hope this helps

Thank you very much

We stay 6 nights/7 days and it seems we don`t have to starve

I think you will have more than enough food! Even the basic DDP is more than enough food for our family! Enjoy!

 

[texasteacher35]

That math is correct...I am a math teacher...not that it is hard to calculate!

You will have plenty of food, maybe too much! We are doing DDDP next year...this year we are going the regular DDP...have fun! I think you will all be full! No worries!

I know but when I looked at the total points/credits I was amazed.

We took the DDDP just to be sure to get a nice sit-down dinner every evening.
Last year was a nightmare. We could not get any reservation at all and the whole week on fast food is not really out thing.

 

[texasteacher35]

I understand that! I love the idea of eating whereever and whenever I want to with the DDDP! Signature dinners, character meals, and some CS's...you will have to really get some good plans and ADRs to MAXIMIZE the DDDP...I am an OVERPLANNER, so I can handle it!
Even for this year's MNSSHP trip, I had all the ressies done 180 days out...I have only changed 2 times...I know exacly when we are eating and even a rough plan of CSs...I am sure you will be fine with the food! Just plan, plan, plan!

Don't forget - you still have to make reservations....

Meet misses Plan Herself
I`m planning a whole holiday for almost a year.

The flight,the hotels during our 14 days roundtrip in Florida,the car rental and most loved part the Disney planning.

I have the whole DP on paper and I’m just very, very impatiently waiting till I can call to make my reservations final.

I’d already try to cheat the system by telling them in Europe you can make reservations a year ahead but the did not buy that so I just have to count my days like everyone else

I have a HUGE red cross in my agenda for that special day

I have a goofy feeling that there are several of us DISers that are like that! I have my typed agenga for each day we are ther (10/21-10/27), with graphics and clip art...printing out menus and all will come with me in a folder with sheet protectors...I know pretty much everything that I can plan out with a DS2...he can be a little unpredictable, so I have to leave a little space in my OCD planning to let him be 2!!
Already planning 2 trips for next year...planning on possibly the LAND for a change (CA) and Christmas 2008, will be back in the WORLD for 8 nights!

Jees.......... I love your plans.
You live in this great country and make vacations we poor Europeans can only dream of.

But,as a litlle secret,I`m looking in my agenda and have already plans for 2009.

I know ,I know I'm crazy but pre vacation planning fun is great.

We will be doing the DDDP next July. We have already booked a 4-night DDDP package + 5 day PH and one extra night hotel only (to maximize the DDDP credits...SHHHH)
