Help: Should we or should we not use Quick service

[boomar]

Hello Everyone: It has been a very long time since I have posted I am very rusty at this... November 2012 will be our 3rd visit to DW, my problem is DH and I are not sure if we should include the Quick Service plan or not.
We have tried the Dining plan with the sit down service on both prior visits and really did not like the wait and hassle. So last year we saw they recently came out with the quick service plan which we thought we might actually purchase BUT after reading some reviews and seeing what people are posting that it really is not worth purchasing the quick service because it is basically the same as paying out of pocket or that paying out of pocket for quick service is a little cheaper. All input will greatly be appreciated

At best, if you use all you Qs credits for lunch and dinner, get the above-average priced entrees, and always get dessert plus a snack every day -- under that scenario, then you might save $3-4 per adult, per day, plus get a "free" mug.

On the other hand-- If you get average priced meals, use some credits for breakfast.. Then you will just break even, and free mug.

If you do a lot of Qs breakfasts, if you skip some of the desserts, then it could be MUCH cheaper to skip the plan. (unless you truly love the mug).

I looked at it. Ran the numbers. With them taking away one of the snack credits, it just isn't worth it for my family. I can't see how we will even break even.

Thank you worm761 and havoc315: this is what I was waiting for, other opinions, we figured as well that it would be better to just not get the plan...I figured if we really wanted one nice meal we could always make the reservation at one nice sit down dinner 180 days out for our visit, but we really hated the hurry to get there and wait to get seated.. then quick service came out, yes it is another option BUT is it really worth it.... we are not big eaters and probably would end up sharing most of the quick service meals we purchase, like the ones at cosmic rays.... thanks for the input.
