Is it worth it?

[JzeroT1437]

I bought the Meal Plan when we went last year and all we used were all of our Counter Services and a single Table Service. We realized we had a bunch of snacks we hadn't used during our last day there, so we started cramming down the frozen bananas.

Anyway, I have reservations for this year and chose not to purchase the dining plan. It was going to cost about $240 ($30 a meal) for our four day trip for two, and I felt pretty content that we could dine for about the same price or cheaper once we got there. Also, my main problem is that we don't really want the table service meals; we find that they take too long, and would rather get counter service meals in order to save time. I'm slowly realizing, however, that I'm going to have enough money to buy the plan anyway.

My question to you guys is: should I (and can I) purchase the plan once we're checking in at the resort?

You can't add the plan on at the resort. The dining plan for non DVC resorts is that you have to buy a package (room , tickets, and dining plan). If you do not like table service because you feel they take up to much time, then I would not get the dining plan. We used it this past May and loved it, but we like a couple of table service meals. Could you do it cheaper without the plan, probably so since you don't like the table service places. That really is not a bad price for 2--remember that your tips and tax are already included in this price. Good luck.

I agree. If you're not big into table service meals, then the Dining Plan isn't really for you.

I'd skip it too, since you don't like eating table service meals. It'd be way cheaper without the plan.
