I wish there was a combo plan

I'm still thinking about adding dining. We're more of a CS type family, but we would like to do a couple character meals too. There's no way we could do a TS every day on the DDP, but we could end up with extra credits at the end if we get the QSDP and then go to two or three TS and pay OOP.

Too bad there isn't an option to combine the two!
 
This is exactly how we are, but we always do the DDP anyway... I had a heck of a time deciding whether to do it again this year, but I just booked it for our upcoming trip. We typically have, at least, one meal worth of TS credits left at the end of our trips. But, we use all of our CS and snack credits... When I've added up receipts in the past, the money has come out about even, but the confidence of knowing that we have everything paid for and can do a TS every day if we want makes for a very stress-free vacation.
 
We are a ts family and, I, too, wished there was another option. Sort of an a la carte option. Where you can purchase a number of ts or cs. For instance, we eat at least one ts a day, we would like the option to have two in some days and not so many cs.

So for a 14 night trip, I would like to purchase 21 TS, 7 CS, and keep the snacks as 14 and the cost would be somewhere between the basic DDP and DxDDP. :thumbsup2

But I guess this would be more problematic than the current plans. Too many variables.
 
I have thought the same thing. Wishing we could downgrade 1 TS to 2 CS. Or even assign a meal plan per person.

We went last spring and had 5 adults. 4 of us wanted the Deluxe plan so we could do the Signature restaurants (2TS credits) but my FIL is not a big eater. We ended up wasting a ton of credits (and money) because the regular dining plan wasnt enough TS credits for us but the DDP was too much.
 

We are doing the CS plan in March and even with booking 2 TS meals seperately I dont see where we will have CS credits left over. They are allowing you 2 CS meals per day and so you would need to have a little something for breakfast (we will be using snack credits for that). On the days where we are doing a TS buffet, we will only eat 1 CS as we wont be that hungry. We will use up the other CS credit on another day and get a CS breakfast instead of using a snack credit for that. Then we would have 3 meals on 2 days instead of 2 meals. The only thing I see that we will be left with is possibly a few snack credits, but with my family I doubt that will happen either.
I do wish also that they had a mixed meal plan or a la carte like a PP suggested. We never want to eat a TS everyday. Thats why I booked 2 on my own and we still come out cheaper!
