We were on site 4 days, but only 3 nights, so for 5 of us (myself, DH, DD9, DS7 and DD4) we had 15 TS, 15 CS and 15 snacks. We ate at 4 TS restaurants and at 5 counter service restaurants.
Tuesday we had breakfast before we got to Disney, then had lunch at Cosmic Ray's. We used 2 CS credits and got a chicken/rib combo meal and a bacon double cheeseburger. We cut the burger in half, then put both bottoms together and both tops together. That way all the cheese was on DD's half and the halves were the same size. We shared the 2 drinks and had the chocolate cake. Even though 5 of us split 2 meals, we only ate one of the desserts.
Tuesday evening we went to Crystal Palace. It took 5 TS credits. Great. Tigger is my favorite. Or Eyeore.
Wednesday morning the kids had mini muffins from home and DH and I had coffee in our room at Riverside. We never ate lunch, but got the kids ice cream. (am I THE MOM or what?) The machine (or our cards) didn't work, so the cast member gave them to us at no charge. We used 2 snack credits for sodas.
Wednesday evening Le Cellier. We used 4 TS credits. We all split the appetizers and desserts, DD4 had pasta with sauce, DS7 had a hot dog, DH had the mushroom fillet and DD7 and I split the mushroom fillet. Plenty of food.
Thursday morning we had breakfast at Boatwrights. We ordered 3 meals - the fruit plate with blueberry muffin, a mickey pancake and something with eggs and pancakes, all 5 of us had drinks. We were only charged 2 TS credits and nothing extra for the drinks. No one was hungry when we left, but no one was overly full either.
Thursday lunch was Earl of Sandwich. Used 3 CS credits. DD4 and DS shared a peanut butter and jelly, DH and I shared a Full Montague, and DD9 had the pizza sandwich (DH ate her leftovers). We got 3 cookies for dessert, but only ate 2 of them.
Thursday dinner was WCC. DD4 and DS both got hot dogs, DH got the steak, and DD9 and I split the steak. We shared 2 appetizers and 4 desserts. DS and DD4 got the bottomless milkshakes and DD7 got the bottomless smoothie. DH had a coke for our 4th drink, and I had a beer, which we paid for OOP. A lot of the desserts were not eaten - unfortunately you can't take left over ice cream in a doggy bag. This was the end of our TS credits.
Friday morning we got counter service from the hotel. We shared 2 mickey waffles and a platter with French toast and eggs. used 3 counter service credits. 2 chocolate milks and an OJ. DH and I had coffee from the room. Again, full but not stuffed
Friday lunch was Pecos Bills. We shared 2 bacon double cheeseburgers (with lots of toppings) and DD4 got the baked beans with hot dogs. Only ate 1 of the three desserts.
Friday afternoon snacks - got 1 popcorn and 2 bags of chips.
Friday evening we didn't eat until we got back to Riverside to pick up our car. DD4 slept and didn't eat. DS had the pasta with meatballs (would have been plenty to share with his sister), DD9 had a taco salad, and DH and I both got the Philly Cheese Steak. A lot of the taco salad fed PUSH.
We still had lots of snack credits, so we got chocolate milks and rice krispie treats for the ride home.
The dining plan was great for us. It cost us about $320. We managed to only spend $10 extra (2 coffees at LeCellier and 1 beer at WCC). The receipts for what we received that showed the price totaled about $600. (not exactly sure but this is close). We ate when we got hungry, but since we shared so much we never felt stuffed. All the Cast Members were great about us sharing. The only extra drinks we ordered (other than water with lemon), were coffe and beer, which we were charged for, and the ones at Boatwrights for breakfast at no charge. Can't wait til next time - hopefully the dining plan will still be around so we can use it again.
