Help with newbie questions!

We got the 4/3 deal GVCL at Poly and we added the DDP. My questions 1. Is it worth getting the dining plan because we are not big dessert eaters and by looking at the cost of the DDP and then looking at the price of food at the places we want to eat at we would only make up our cost of the plan if we get the dessert Am I looking at the DDP wrong? 2. Can I remove the DDP and still keep the 4/3 deal? Sorry if I'm not wording this right. Thanks for the help

For number 2 you can drop the DDP and still keep the 3/4 deal.

Without getting dessert, it certainly is a less sure "value" proposition. Still, depending on where you go and what you order, you could probably still break even or better without desserts, i.e., with just entree and beverage, especially since prices seem to keep going up.

Also, remember to add 6.5% for tax to OOP meals -- tax is already included in the DDP price.

I think that if you don't plan on dessert than it may not be worth it to go with the dining plan. If you calculate the math out with the restaurants you're thinking of and it only works if you get dessert, than just pay oop.

Thanks everyone for your replies. We looked at what we would eat at the restaurants and how much it would cost us ...it wasn't adding up to the 39.99. We have a 10 year old that barely eats so paying a adult price for her doesn't make sense.
