Is The Dinning Package Really Worth It?

[lclark0621]

We have never considered the dining package before. So I dont know anything about it.

But our friends called CRO this morning & were told it is great.

What is it? Is it worth it?

We have 7 total going. Four adults, one 6 year old, one 4 year old & one 21 month old.

We want to do a couple of character meals and at least one sit down meal a day (probably dinner).

Can anyone tell me about it?

Since this is all new this year, I'm not sure if anyone has figured out if it is a good thing or not. On the surface it sounds great, so are going to try it this fall. It is my understanding that each person gets *1 table service meal (appetizer, entree, dessert and drink)
*1 counter service (entree, dessert and drink)
*1 snack (such as popcorn, ice cream bar, drink, etc.)
There are lots of restaurants to choose from. Here's a link for more info:

It cost us $100 per day for 2 adults and 1 child. Children do have to order from the children's menu if one is available. Your 21 month old will not receive a meal, as I asked for my DS who will not quite be 3 when we go. CRO said that anyone under 3 is not included but more than welcome to share off of the parent plate.

We added this to our package last week. Hopefully it is as good as it sounds.

The best way to see if it's worth it to you is to view the brochure listed above and then look through the menus at www.allearsnet.com to price out what meals you might choose. If you choose meals that would cost at least $35 or more from the participating restaurants (both counter and table service), then it's worth it.

We've already selected the restaurants we want to go to and it will save us a lot.

You can use the meals and snacks in any order as long as they're used by midnight the day you check-out.
