Question about the Deluxe DDP.....

[pkf4bucs]

This is probably something that has been asked before and I apologize for it but does any one know that cost per day of the Deluxe plan for adults and children (8 year old). This is for the 2008 plan. I know the regular plan is $37.99. I am trying to figure the cost difference of the 2 but I almost certain that the Deluxe plan will be more benefical to my families needs. I figure that I dont have to worry about ANY food with the Deluxe plan. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Not sure why the thumbs down is on my message. Sorry about that!

Deluxe plan cost 69.99 per adult per day and 19.99 per child 3-9 per day. You get your choice of 3 sit down meal(Can be exchanged for counter), 2 snacks and refillable mug per person.

will they still have the regular dining plan

 

[kaytieeldr]

Yes. As indicated in pkf4bucs' post, The Dining Plan will cost $37.99 in 2008. In addition to that, Disney is introducing the Deluxe Dining Plan as described in Luv2Trav's post.

the $37.99 one will it be exactly the same as the one now?

WOW! $70.00 worth of food per day per adult. Thanks for the info! I dont know if either one of us can put down that amount of food per day. $20.00 for my 8 year old is something that I know that can be reached with breakfast, lunch, dinner and 2 snacks. Thats an average of $4.00 per order/item. Hmmmm....and the adult plan is an average of $14 per order/item. No doubt we would lose money but we dont go as often as alot of people so I may just pony up the cash. Sorry for the ramblings......thinking out loud. Thanks again!

It's sort of like the Seinfeld episode where Uncle Leo's eyebrows were shaved off. To help him out, someone painted eyebrows on his face, but they were arched in such a way as to make him appear constantly angry. No matter how calmly he would talk to people, they kept telling him to not be so angry.

The child's cost is one of the reasons we are seriously considering it. If you think about it it's 19.99 per child.... 3 character meals would cost between 30.00-40.00 for the day... This doesn't include the 2 snacks either. So for the children it's significant savings.

3 adult character meals would be over $70 too - regular menu sit down meals would be even more. Remember you still get an appetizer with deluxe. Here's an easy example without even 3 character meals for an adult - character breakfast $20, CS lunch $10 (although maybe more), would mean $40 for a TS dinner, which really isn't that hard to do at Disney (someone recently posted LeCellier was well over $100 for 2 people). Plus you've got 2 snacks.

No, there will be no appetizer and no gratuity.

I was going to upgrade to the dlxDDP on our next free dining trip. Then I looked at how we will really eat. Most days we would not use two TS unless one is a breakfast. I decided for the price I could just eat like we did last year and add a couple TS breakfasts OOP and still come out cheaper than the upgrade. So unless I rearrange some and eat more CS it is not a better deal for my family.
