New to Disney Dining Plan!!

[FallsChurchDad]

That’s what I figured. I think I’ll just stick with the dining plan I have and make it work! Next time I do think it would be better if I got the regular DDP though.

I agree with this decision if you never had the dining plan before. For 5-6 days, there is plenty of variety and lots of great choices just with Quick Service, and it gives you more time to enjoy stuff in the parks.

We had the free QSDP twice, and it was very fun both times. I think all your questions above have been answered very well, but I would put in a few plugs for Be Our Guest (you can make reservations at 180 days + length of stay for both breakfast and lunch, so your dates are coming soon), Satuli Canteen, and Flametree BBQ on the QSDP.

I think the best use of snack credits is just to use them on what you actually want - so Starbucks is a better use of a snack credit than an $8 funnel cake, if Starbucks makes you happy and you'd never normally get a funnel cake.

Yes!!! Starting in 6 days (the 20th of March) I can start booking my dining reservations. I'm stupidly excited about that. Anyway, Starbucks makes me very happy and wakes me up. I even have Starbucks Mickey ears. LOL I'm glad to hear you had a good experience with the QSDP. I agree that we can eat quickly and ride more stuff. How was Satuli and Flametree? What were your fave items from there? I already had those 2 on my list!!! Satuli has a TON of allergy friendly meals for me bc there's a lot I can't eat. I thought I heard someone say it was fabulous.
