onsite counter serv w/20% FL dining card vs offsite rest?

[newholiday]

Is it really cheaper to eat offsite than to eat onsite counter serv since we have the 20% FL dining card?
there are sooo many recommended onsite counter serv restaurants- so little time

Don't forget that the 20% discount is only good at the counter service restaurants in the Animal Kingdom. In the other parks, the card is only good at sit down restaurants and not counter service. The All-Star and Pop food courts will take the card.

Here's a link to the participating restaurants.

New Holiday, I'm not sure how you have the FL Dining Experience card, I thought you were from New Enland someplace. Maybe I have you confused with someone else. If you are borrowing the card from someone, keep in mind that you will be required to present a FL Drivers License or State ID card with it, in the name that is on the card. Without proper proof, you won't be allowed to use it.

As far as your question, it depends on what and how you eat.
If you split and entree and appetizer at Spoodles and don't order alcohol, it will probably cost less than if you all went to the Cantina and ordered Burritos, Churros, and Margarita's. There is no definitive answer, it's going to depend on you and your dining habits. BTW--some places that don't take the DDE card will give a AAA discount if you have AAA.

Keep in mind that not that many counter service places take the DDE card, so your choices will be limited and not always the most convenient places.
