Help with dining plan - going in December...

[kgilchri]

Hello!

I've heard about the dining plan, but have never done it myself. I'm going with my husband, sister and mom. Do you think it'd be worth it for us? We'll have a car and a fridge in the room. But since we're on-site, should we go for the plan or not? I appreciate any help! Thanks.

IF you would normally eat TS or would like to eat TS if you can afford it then the plan will pay for it's self and then some. If you would normally be happier sticking to CS then you'll find that you could save money going that route.

The 2008 plan on the other hand is a whole different ballgame.

The DDP is a great value for some and not for others.

Do you eat one TS a day? If so DDP is probably right for you.

Do you share your meals when you go to TS restaurants? The DDP may not be for you.


Your best bet is to look at the menus of the places you plan to eat and try to guesstimate what you'll be ordering at these restaurants.

In 2007 the DDP will include your tax and tip, something you'd have to pay in addition to the listed menu prices when paying OOP.
