Need Help/Advice

Ok. My wife and I are currently on the Deluxe dining plan for a 6 night stay at the Grand Floridian. I called today to ask what we would save if we switched to the regular dining plan.

Basically, I was given the option of extending our trip at the GF one more night (7 nights) by paying an extra $150 and switching to the basic dining plan.

Now, my wife and I love food (haha) and we like to enjoy the parks at our own pace, sitting down to eat when we want, etc. but it is kind of hard not to want to add another night at the GF for only $150 after making a DDP switch.

Thoughts? Suggestions? What would you do?

I have done both the DDP and the DxDDP. Both have pro's and cons. I would make a list of restaurants that are a must. See if you can get by using the DDP. We also enjoy many of the CS restaurants so it usually works for us. BUT, during our anniversary trip, I had a few more "signature" dreams than normal, and the OOP for the difference was way too much.

For $150.00, DH and I could easily get 4 breakfasts, Kona, Grand Floridian Cafe, Boma, and one more. So if that is holding you back, see what cost a few OOP breakfasts will be also. You may be better with the extra night, the DDP and $150.00 of OOP breakfasts.

No matter what you choose, it will be WONDERFUL!!

we usually do DDP and did DxDDP last month and have to say that we LOVED it. If you intend on doing alot of signatures, DxDDp is really worth it but keep in mind that it does take alot of time away from the park. The Signature meals including app, entree and dessert took an average of 2 hours while regular restaurant about 90 minutes. We liked DxDDP alot because no more CS and lots of yummy yummy food. Having 3 kids it was nice to not have to wait in line to order and then look for a table. We did 2 cs oop and we had the worse luck as it took us both times about 15 minutes to find a table for the 5of us.
