Right now we are booked for next October in an off season with the basic dining plan. That is the only dining plan we have ever used. However when comparing the deluxe with the basic and having a 2 year old (at the time of the trip) who will be sharing with us I am thinking with the deluxe it will cut a lot of out of pocket cost for extra meals here and there. How ever could someone explain it to me better. It says 3 meals of your choice TS or QS. So does that mean we can do all TS or is there a set number of each?!

You CAN do 3 TS each day (you could even do more, in reality as your credits are yours to use whenever you want), BUT that is a lot of food and a lot of time out of your day.

You really need to do some research and thinking. It's going to cost you $70 more each night of your stay to upgrade to DxDDP. Even if you get the 2 yr old his own kids meal at QS OOP, that's only $5 each meal and the TS kids' meals are $8-$10 (at a buffet, he eats for free). Will you need to buy him his own meals or will there be enough for him to share? Will you be doing more TS meals than your alloted amount (either with signature dining or just more you want to do)? Will you use snacks for breakfast, bring your own, or pay OOP? All of these things need to be thought out.

Thank you for your quick response! Never thought of it that way but I think we would be better off with what we have and paying OOP for his meals when he don't chose a buffet.
We will also be bringing down snacks or placing a order with Garden grocer to be delivered.

Doing the same. Garden Grocer for water and breakfast items.
