QSDP or OOP

[sharonabe]

Disclaimer: For some people, even the QSDP will fit their style and budget, especially families with children. However, it does seem there have been several questioning whether it is a good deal anymore. Below is an example of only quick service dining all within the parks that includes THREE meals and a snack each day. Unless otherwise noted, I would be drinking water.

My intent is just to help those still trying to decide to see that, with a little research and planning, you can eat more and stay almost within the QSDP price.

I agree with your assessment. And I happen to really like most of the places you used for example! You can avoid the table service restaurants and still eat pretty darn well. Thanks for the thread.

That's why I've been searching the menus for bo QSDP and regular DDP. You can find a variety of things to eat beside just hamburgers. Just know where to look.
