How we used our Connection Vouchers

[bigsis1970]

Hi i will give you a quick run down on how we used our vouchers - I don;t know if i will use them again . You have to ring up the voucher meal seperately and if you get some who isn't listening when you say that our doesn't know then they have to void out your entire order and start again to do the 2 seperate bills ( voucher meal and cash meals ) . Sometimes we didnt' get our moneys worth. Quick and Causal = 11.00 and Breakfast = 17.00

11-29 All Star Movies . Q & C Meatball sub w/ FF , fountain drink and brownie Total bill 10.89
11-30 Restaurantosaurus adult buffet 16.99 - this was a good deal Q & C was Beaches and Cream for supper I can't find my slip but it was a great deal !
12-01 Q & C Cosmic Ray's DBL cheeseburg, brownie and reg size soda = 11.73
12-02 Q & C Epcot the land BBQ Chicken and Ribs, Brownie, and reg soda = 12.27
12-03 Breakfast Cape May adult buffet 16.99-this was a good deal. Q & C Columbia harbor house Chicken & Fish w/ FF , Apple pie and reg size soda = 13.33
12-06 Q & C Mara DBL bacon cheeseburg w/ FF , Fruit Cup, fountain drink, and Brownie = 15.23
12-07 Breakfast Chef Mickey's adult buffet 16.99- this was a good deal Q & C All Star Sports Chicken Quesadilla , Coffee milkshake , and brownie = 13.45

As you can see we did better with some places then others but i found them to be a bit of a hassle as far as the Q & C . I had no problem with the breakfast ones . I just slid those along w/ the kids breakfast money into the bill holder. Hope this helps some one .. Michelle

I'll be using some Q&C & Breakfast Feature vouchers on our upcoming trip, so it helps me to read reports from others outlining their experiences. Thanks again! DU

Michelle, Did you include tax in your totals?

Also, for the breakfasts, the base price for breakfast is $16.99, then add a beverage, then tax and tip. It adds up quickly!

Thanks for the update

Michelle, I agree with you. I think we got a good deal on breakfast and a couple of places for Q&C. But what I discovered is:

1) We are not breakfast people. We have been back a week and I still cannot stand the thought of breakfast. At home we don't normally a full breakfast - maybe a granola bar or cold cereal if anything. Usually if we eat breakfast, it is breakfast for dinner. We had breakfast vouchers and ate breakfast buffets four of the days there. I think I'd skip the breakfast vouchers next time, even though they are a good deal.

2) I would order less Q&C vouchers. I think if I went again I would get Q&C vouchers for Beaches and Cream and maybe Pepper Market. We got sick of fast food quick.

3) I would order more Kingdom Lunch Vouchers. We used them at Rainforest Cafe - three vouchers for the five of us - and got full. I thought we'd rather eat on the run and use Q&C vouchers than have a sit down meal, since we aren't the type of family that likes to be on a schedule. But we didn't really need PS anywhere - got in right away - so I think using the Kingdom Vacation vouchers but not making PS would be ideal for us.

4) As an alternative, I think next time we will compare the price of getting a Silver package and using our wishes for meals with the price of no package and just using vouchers. The benefit of the package over the vouchers is: A) Less hassle - not having to order the vouchers and then carry around the vouchers. B) Being able to eat DINNER at a sit-down restaurant instead of only lunch as the vouchers allow (and sometimes the lunch and dinner menu is the same, but lots of times the dinner menu is much more appealing). This is a BIG plus, I think. C) We could use some of our wishes for things like Hoop-Dee-Doo or the Luau or fun things the kids want to do - who needs two big meals every day anyway?

One question I have, though, about "wishes":

If we wanted to go into a restaurant and use three of our wishes for dinner for five of us, is that allowable? Or do we each have to order a dinner? Because at Rainforest Cafe with the voucher, three appetizers and three entrees and three desserts were plenty for our family, even though DH and DS are big eaters. It would be a waste if we had to use five wishes and order five meals, I think.

One more thing I discovered -

I think instead of staying in a deluxe resort, I would rather stay in a moderate and have two rooms and use the extra money for silver package to use for meals. I loved the location of the Beach Club, but our room was not what I expected for the amount of money we paid, plus was too crowded for two adults and three teens. So if doing it again I think I would spend less on the room and more on meals, either using the Kingdom Vacation vouchers or with a package that includes meals.

Just my 2 cents now that I see what I could have done differently that would have made it a better experience.
