QS or none with CL at BC during FW this fall?

[EclecticWAHM]

We got a great room deal for CL the last days of the Food and Wine festival/Dapper Day - 5 nights. We are 4 adults - us and our then 19 and 21 yo kids (DD turns 21 at Universal a couple days before we check in at Disney). Debating whether we add the QS plan or no. We probably only want to make 2 or 3 TS reservations, so not going to do the regular dining plan. We've stayed at BC before bet never CL, so I'm not sure how big a difference that will make for us. We do plan to spend time enjoying the resort and the CL lounge.

I've heard that you can use a counter service meal credit for 3 snacks at FW - true story? That would make it more tempting for me. I am pretty sure no matter what, we're gonna spend $44 a day on food each, and we absolutely want to snack around the festival.

Our dates don't appear to coincide with the potential free dining that may come.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

BC CL is great! I always tell People that the lounge is not a meal replacement, except for breakfast. I like to think it is a meal enhancement. Personally, I would probably skip the QS plan, no matter what. I have never puchased it, but a lot of people here say ther really is not a break even point for it. Unless you want a prepaid meal plan, I would skip it.

We tend to book the regular DDP, even when we have CL as part of our resort stay, btu it sounds like you family will be snacking around the World, and only booking a few TS meals. I would use the lounge for your appetizers and maybe some desserts and cordials when you get back from the parks, and pay OOP for any dining you plan.
