How do you "allot" your meals?

[Picabo]

WE'll be using the dining plan for the first time, next year. We plan to mostly use the TS meal at dinner time (Character meals...yippee!). I was thinking of perhaps having fast stuff in our room for a quick bkfst (cereals, bagels, etc) and then saving our CS meal for early lunch in the parks.

Just wondering how others allot their meals while they are using the plan??

THANKS! Any tips, greatly appreciated!

When we did the basic plan we did pretty much what you are describing. We ate breakfast in the room or used snack credits for fruit, bakery items, etc. We also often shared CS options to stretch them out a little. We mostly used out TS credits for dinner.

We did about the same. On the first night we used a TS and the last day the remaining CS for lunch. We used many of the snacks for fruit cups as well as boxes of donuts (which you cannot do this year) There was plenty of food, that was with the appitizer but still so much food!! Have fun!

we always use the Tsfor dinner and the CS for lunch. because of the flight times we will have an extra CS which we will use for breakfast one morning in the resort. the other morning we drive to ihop for breakfast.
we also always do one dinner show, so we do pay oop for 1 dinner, which is always the ESPN club, because its so cheap to eat there.

We did exactly as you are planning and it worked out great!! That's our plan for next time, too, with the exception of CRT lunch for DD and I (DS and DH will have a CS lunch and I think we'll probably do the T-rex place - OOP- for dinner that night).

We do the same, use TS for dinners, CS for lunch, and have breakfast in the room.

We (Me and DW) usually get up early and head over to the resort food court and pick up a blueberry muffin or apple tart (using SC) and fill up our mug with coffee and walk back over to the pool area and grab a table. We usually have an extra CS so we head over to POR to the food court. We may try the Main Street Bakery in the MK this Sept. for a breakfast. (CS) saved for lunch like Flame Tree BBQ, Columbia Haubor House , Toy story Pizza Planet , Cantina in Mexico EPCOT, Earl of Sandich or Typhoon Tilly, and Dinner use all of the (TS) at Coral Reef, Le Cellier, Cap't Jacks, Hoop De Doo and new this time coming for us Spoodles, Toyoko Dining and Breworks on the Boardwalk.
O ya we have a extra TS using that for get away day going to Crystal Palace for breakfast sometimes we had gone to Boma but trying something new.
And since we go the last week in Sept. we head over to EPCOT the last day and use any remaining SC or CS at the Food and Wine Fest.

Well this will be our 3rd free DDP and 4th DDP in a row over the last 3 years. Half the fun is the planning.
