Below is a rough estimate of how the dining plan costs out.

At $55 the regular dining plan is about $15 QS, $35 TS, and $4 snack. At $100 the deluxe dining plan is $30 TS(you get 3) and $4 snack(you get two). Of course both plans have the mugs included. Your children aged 11 and 16 will be counted as adults and you will have to purchase adult dining plans for them. One major question is do they eat like adults?

I would recommend looking at the menus on allears.net to see what the price is of the items you would buy. If you don't spend more than the amounts above you won't save money. Also keep in mind that you only get a non-alcoholic beverage, entrée, and dessert on the regular dining plan. On the deluxe dining plan you also get an appetizer, so it's easier to reach the dollar amount. CRT will take 2TS. You can also use the TS credit you didn't use on arrival on the day you check out or just eat one night at a signature restaurant which will require 2TS.

The regular dining plan gives you two meals a day and one snack. The deluxe plan gives you three meals a day and two snacks or two meals and two snacks if you eat at the signature restaurants. Which way do you eat at home and will you have food in your room to supplement the plan?
