First Time Using QS Plan

[I Love Pluto]

We're using the Quick Service Dining Plan in April. We have never used the dining plan before - and have a quick question.

We're on Nutrisystem diets at home. We won't be using the dessert portion of our 2 meals each day.

Will they substitute a bottle of water at the parks or resorts? Anything else?

If nothing is substituted, then we just LOSE the dessert $ portion?


Thanks for your replies.

Most places will substitute water or fruit, but not all. So if they say no, then you will just lose the dessert $ portion.

You may want to consider dropping the QSDP and paying OOP. If you don't use all the entitlements to their max, you will lose money. You need to "spend" $15 at each and every meal to even break even.

correct - if a substitution is not allowed and you do not order dessert, the dessert allotment is forfeited. However you can probably also get apple slices or grapes as your dessert if they are available for the kids meals.

I would also agree that the dining plan is not really workable as a value for dieters, so unless it's a free dining situation you might look into dropping it.

Thanks for the suggestions of water and fruit. If we keep the QS plan, we'll ask for these.

Maybe we should re-think the cost. I don't think we'll make the $15 each time.

Thanks for your answers. You helped a lot.
