Le Cellier, 2 credits for KIDS?

[WillowRain]

I was just looking at their menu, and I cannot imagine that a 15 dollar steak is 2 credits there???

A restaurant that is 2 credits is 2 credits for everyone.

A 2 TS credit location is just that. Includes everyone.
If you don't think its worth it then choose a different restaurant or pay OOP.

I've discovered that the dining plan is pretty much never a good value for kids unless you eat at buffets/character meals, or are on the deluxe plan. Those are not small exceptions--you can really save a lot of money with kids and character dining on the plan. But an a la carte menu? Not so much. It just confirms the old disboards adage; do the math for where YOU want to eat to decide if dining plan is worth it to you.

2 credits for everyone using the DDP. As has been pointed out it is necessary to do the math when you use the plan to decide the value of every meal or the plan itself.

You could of course pay oop for the kids and use the credits somewhere else.

Don't child credits cost a lot less in the first place? Still might not make it a slam dunk to use them. As others suggested, maybe pay OOP for that one.

You could of course pay oop for the kids and use the credits somewhere else.

But how and where? You'd have two child credits and possibly zero adult credits. So pay OOP for the adults somewhere? Using the child credits for QS wouldn't be a bad idea and if you get adult QS meals with them, probably a better value than the meal at Le Cellier. But if you use them for breakfast, you're in the same value area as Le Cellier.

Here's the thing. The Dining plans are not a value for everyone, and the value per credit differed at any restaurant you choose. I look at the value overall, not at any individual restaurant, and if we want to go to any restaurant we book it. I know it is said often, but when you choose your restaurants, do the math. All of it, and then look at tthe overall cost of the meals you would likely choose vs the overall cost of the plans you have to choose from. I would not stumble over 2 credits for a childs dinner if overall I was saving money using the plan and we wanted to go to that restaurant. I also will not choose restaurants that will max the plan if they are not where my family wants to eat.
