More Reservations than Dining Credits...Where Will I Get the Best Value?

[mjaclyn]

We're leaving for WDW tomorrow and LOVE dining there. We have a lot of meals planned, but only have 5 Table Service credits. I have to pay out of pocket for 3 meals, and I'm trying to decide which ones to pay for. I also have Tables in Wonderland so we'll be getting 20% off regardless, but I'd still like to use the TS Credits in the best possible way. Here are our choices:

Beaches and Cream (lunch)
Kona Cafe (breakfast)
The Plaza Restaurant (dinner)
Akershus (Princess breakfast)
Via Napoli (dinner)
Les Chefs de France (dinner)
Cape May Cafe (breakfast)
Sci Fi Dine in Theater (lunch)

Which do you think would be the best meals pay OOP?

We always pay OOP for Sci Fi. the meal are so big that you can almost share especially if you are going for lunch. the burgers are huge!! I would also pay OOP for your breakfast at kona. beaches and cream would be a good choice too. We went and split the burger platter and they brought it out split on different plates. It was huge and you have to leave room for ice cream!!

Beaches and Cream has the reputation of being one of the cheapest table service restaurants, so probably safe doing it for OOP.

Kona Cafe for breakfast should be quite affordable, go OOP.

Plaza Restaurant is 1 of the cheaper restaurants, but it is dinner.. If you are just doing sandwiches, it is another good OOP.

Akershus... I believe that is about a $35 breakfast, very good use of a TS credit.

Via Napoli -- can go either way. If you choose to go OOP, you can share a large pizza. If you want regular entrees, you are better going with a TS credit.

Les Chefs De France -- Potentially one of the better TS values.

Cape May Breakfast -- Believe it is around $35, good use of a TS credit.

Sci Fi Dine In -- Like Via Napoli, it really depends what you plan to order. If you want a milk shake, plus a dessert, plus the ribs, then definitely use a TS credit. If you are going to skip the sweets and just get the chicken sandwich, then go OOP.
