More dining plan questions!

Ok, so we are thinking about switching over and instead of using DVC points, stay at POP and use the meal plan.

I just did a quick meal plan of where we would eat and how many points, and obviously since it doesn't cover every meal, there is some out of pocket expense. How much do you spend out of pocket on average? I have figured somewhere between $140-$175. Thanks!

I am not planning on spending more than $100 for out of pocket expenses. And most of that is for whimsical spending, candy, etc... We are going to try and eat early lunches, big ones, we are not much on breakfast anyway. And then early dinners. I think with sharing meals and getting big counter service lunches (like the chix & ribbs platter at Cosmic Rays) we can use any extra meal credits for kids meals and use them as snacks if the emergency arises. Also, eating one or two big breakfast's in the hotel so we can take an extra piece of fruit or box of cereal to munch on. Someone else had a great idea to get the refillable mug for the resort and then get a bottle of water for your meal drink and use it later. Great tip!

BTW, we are neighbors, I live in Burke!

It depends on when you plan on eating, we always had a late breakfast
snack in the afternoon then dinner. We didn't spend over $75.00 for 7 days
Make sure you use your snacks also (fruit, water, chips and soda)

Thanks for the tips. I was wondering the same thing.
