How many sit down meals per day?

[bweagle]

I'm curious, how many sit down meals do you do per day on your WDW trips. There are just so many restaraunts I'd have on my list I want to do, but DH is afraid he'll be too weighed down by food if we eat at sit down restaurants more than once per day.

Help me convince him otherwise.....I feel that the great restaurants are a big part of a WDW trip...

DH and I LOVE to eat. We especially like to try new and exotic foods. We usually do one sit-down breakfast per trip and eat at the snack bar at the hotel for the rest of the trip. We usually eat a kind of early sit-down lunch and a kind of late sit-down dinner. If we eat a big breakfast, we skip lunch. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!!

It depends how I'm paying. If I am on a meal plan like the Silver plan, I will do two sit down meals a day. I just make it an Early Lunch and a Late Dinner. This way I am not to weighed down.

I grab a really light breakfast in the morning.

If meals are out of my pocket, then I only do one sitdown a day, and some days there are none.

I do like the sit down meals. Its a nice break from touring and I find restaurants relaxing. Even crowded noisey ones.
(Can you guess I eat out a lot at home? )

Have a fun trip!

I have been on the gold plan several times in the past and with that we eat 3 sit down meals a day. I know some poeple say they get weighed down by that many meals - personally I never feel that way. Maybe I just like food too much. However we usually start early and end late - breakfast at 7ish and dinner at 8ish with lunch whenever we feel like it. Even eating a sit down meal you can keep it light.

We normally do 2: a late breakfast and then a late lunch/early dinner.

One trip I felt like we had to try so many paces I felt like we were running from PS to PS. The food was great, but we ate far too much. I have since switched to one sit down meal planned per day...occasionally we will do more, but that is all I plan for usually on a character breakfast day I know we will end up with a larger counter service dinner or a nice sit down meal.

On average 1 sit down per day. The rest is food court, snacks around the parks(frozen drinks by the pool also count as snacks), or counter service. We dont like to waste too much time on meals, but we do like to eat, LOL!

 

[skuttle]

We (just DH and I) usually do at least one per day...sometimes two if we do a breakfast in the morning.

We had the silver plan this summer and found: not only was it alot of food, but you spend too much time sitting in restaurants. Also, you should have a PS so your always on a time line. It doesn't allow for spontaneity. Stick to 1 good sit down meal!

Two or three/day. For our family, a relaxing meal is an integral part of our WDW experience. We probably developed this habit because we used to always do Golden Key/ Deluxe Magic packages.

We usually do one or two sit-down meals per day.

We are not big breakfast eaters - we usually just eat lightly in our room (fruit or half a bagel with coffee).

Sometimes we will have a counterservice lunch meal and a late sit-down dinner.

Sometimes we have an early sit-down lunch and a late sit-down dinner.

On a rare occasion, when we want breakfast out, we will have a late breakfast and a late sit-down dinner.

You may have guessed that a sit-down dinner is important to DH and I. I really don't care for counter service for my dinner meal, which I consider one of the best parts of the day! While we eat dinner at home around 6-7PM, I prefer dinner on vacation around 8-9pm.

Normally we do one sit down meal at lunch. We eat breakfast in the room or on the run (stuff we brought in from home). we then have a sit down or buffet lunch. For dinner we are often too full (usually grab a late afternoon snack) for a full meal os we grab counter service or eat a health snack back in the room. The one exception is we always do Donald's breakfastosaurus at AK. Since AK closes early this frees up our evening for a resort or DD dinner.

One sit down per day, that's all my wallet can handle (lol). Actually we only it eat one meal a day in the parks (so far we've always stayed off site). For our next trip we will finally be staying on site and going w/ the gold plan. That will be the time we eat 'til our heart's are content.

We do one or 2. It depends on what meals they are. If we have a sitdown breakfast, then we skip lunch and have a sitdown dinner. If we are having a sitdown lunch, we eat a snack on the run for breakfast, and have counterservice for dinner. Sometimes we do counterservice for both breakfast and lunch and a sitdown for dinner.

We always do two--breakfast and dinner.
Lunch rarely--usually on our first day.

If we are staying DVC or concierge (90% if the time), we usually have one breakfast "out" at a sit down place or CB. Otherwise we have sit down brekkie at least every other day.

We have a sit down lunch four of five days. And absolutley we have a sit down dinner every night, almost always at one of the upscale restaurants.
