MYW plus dining Questions

[TPCShauna]

We are taking our first long trip to WDW in December and I am so excited I feel like bursting!! I have a few questions though about the different options and was wondering if anyone could shed some light.

We chose the MYW plus dining package with 1 counter-service, 1 table-service and 1 snack per day per person which only ended up costing $419 for both of us. Has anyone done this yet? How did it go? Do you feel you got your money's worth? It's just myself and DH and we are both snackers. Do you think this was a good choice?

Please share your experiences and expertise!

Welcome to the DIS, TPCShauna!

I'm going to move this over to the restaurant board for you. I'm sure you'll get some answers there

There have been lots of posts on this recently. It would probably be best to do a search for MWY plus dining, and you should find lots of posts to read.

MYW Dining plan is awesome, my opinion, however to really get your moneys worth and more, try to use restaurants that are not buffet. I felt that the buffets come out to be even money with the plan cost.

We averaged, last week, $25 sit down, $8-$10 counter service, $2 snack with 2 adults and 2 kids 5 & 3.

We used the buffets for the character meals so we really broke close to even, maybe a little ahead.

If we had used the non buffet restaurants, we would have been wayyyy ahead.

It is a lot of food, and you almost feel guilty not eating it all.

It does give you a chance to try new things that you may never have paid for in the past.

I highly recommend it, you dont have to carry cash, or your credit card, just your room card.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

We also chose this option and I think it's really going to work for us because last year we spent a fortune on food and we can't feed our children at WDW for $10 a day and ourselves for $35 and have everything that the plan has to offer. So for us it is great.
