Hello There - we have booked our first trip to Disney as a family. I have booked 7 nights at Poly and 2 overlapping at AKL (in case the buy4/get3 comes back). We have a 1 bedroom suite/club level at the Poly because it was cheaper than 2 adjoining rooms, but I just called and NO AAA discount.So now we play the waiting game for a code/discount.
So, which package is most economical for Disney Newbies? Has anyone done the Deluxe dining and felt as though it was money well spent, or is the regular dining more in line with what you eat?
I hesitate very much with the dining because it's vacation and i dont really want a reservation for dinner every night, that seems like too much thought, oh well, maybe i need to rethink that since this is Disney and I guess this will be a very planned out vacation. Just not what I am used to.
Any thoughts on the dining plans would be very much appreciated! Thanks and sorry my tags don't look nice like everyone else's. I said i was new.![]()
WELCOME and have fun planning. I have not used the deluxe plan because it is WAY too much food for us. We have used the DDP many times and we love it. You are right though...you do have to plan more to arrange your ADRs (reservations) ahead of time. We may possibly go with the QSDP this January as my DD doesn't think they will like having so many sit down meals, as they do take way more time each day and their young boys may not be patient enough. The QSDP will allow you to eat at the counter service restaurants and that will take no reservations. We would then add on 2-3 character meals or TS (table service) meals. Normally the TS meals will take an average of 1-1/2 to 2 hours each. It is a nice break in the day, but young kids can get a bit anxious when it takes too long. Either way you will have a great time and you won't go hungry!
