Is it worth upgrading from QS to DDP £656?

[Cinderella2006]

Its time to make adrs this week and I was just going to make one character meal but its between 3/4 choices and no one can decide
We love the DDP but found it alot of food, only so many desserts one person can consume and i have strange children who don't do desserts at all strange i know so they normally use their snack credits to bring back sweets for school.
We had planned to do 1/2 meals off site but i am torn, any advice appreciated

Based on the eating habits you describe I'd keep the money personally. You might spend as much but at least it will be on what you want. My son and hubby love the regular DDP so we always get it but when I went with just DD in May we didn't bother and I much preferred it. I spent less than the plan and we had 6 restaurant meals in 9 days. I didn't buy a single desert with a CS meal, we mostly shared them and at a couple of TS places we had appetisers not entrees. Left to me Is never buy it but like I said, my boys love it!

Thanks i think your right, i hate wasting food. We ate at some great places but it will be nice to try some off site places too.

I always took them back with us having good intentions to eat them but 1/2 way through the holiday i was quite ill due to the volume of food i felt i 'had' to eat

Thank you, think this is what we are going to do

Not sure how long at last eating qs twice a day.

Once ate burger king nearly everyday for a month (long story dont ask!) and felt horrendous!

Twice had QS dining plan and never eaten a burger yet. Did have WPE meatloaf twice both times

I really dislike the DDP and would rather take the upgrade cash and use it to eat some onsite some offsite. I think it is better to have the flexibility to choose offsite or even to skip a meal.

that's the problem, people think that's its just burgers, fried chicken, hot dogs and fries... Yes that is available off course, but its also available on the other dining plan! The QSDP has loads more to offer the only difference is its normally (not always) on throw away plates with plastic cutlery! Personally when we are there for 3 weeks at a time we never have burgers etc...

Sunshine seasons in Epcot is a great counter service if you don't want fast food, the counter service in American pavilion serves steak, and there is a nifty QS place in japan that I only found last year after 12 visits of never knowing it's there.

AoA and POR also do yummy create your own pasta that's delicious
