Quick service or table service??

[kmk86]

We are going to Disney in september for 14 days! As of now we have the free quick service dining plan. But we are torn! Should we stay with the quick service or upgrade to the table service? We were in Disney this past september and had the quick service plan and LOVED IT. Being in Disney for 14 days we are not sure if we want to eat 14 days of quick service food or do the table service. Any suggestions?

It's totally up to you and your vacation preferences. Only you know how your party prefers to eat in general, and what importance dining is on a vacation.

Personally, I'm not a fan of quick service much at all (there are some locations that serve food that I like, I just don't like the whole experience), so I'm biased, but I couldn't even imagine going for 14 days on quick service only.

On the other hand, if you're not a big fan of table service, using 14 TS credits over the course of two weeks could be tough.

The cost difference is $11/adult/night and I believe there is no difference in child costs. Do you think trading a snack for a table service meal is worth $11/night for adults?

Another option, and granted, this requires an extra ticket purchase, is to consider a "split stay", where you book separate consecutive packages, each with a different dining plan option. For example, spend 7 nights with QSDP, and 7 with DDP. This would allow you to do some table service (although grouped closer together) without having to do it for a full two weeks.

Then there's always the possibility of just staying on QSDP and adding a few TS meal out-of-pocket, if you only want a few.

Look at how many times you want a sit down meal in the 14 days, also look at how you eat, and would you use the extra snack credit and refillable mug($13 each).up graning is $10 an adult and i think it's $3 a kid, not bad but you still have to pay tips which is 18%

I do agree with Faldred that 14 days is a long time to have QSDP only - that is exactly what we do. I book a TS OOP every few days of our stay for some variety and it is still cheaper than upgrading without having to make 14 or more ADRs. FWIW we have never been stuck for variety on QSDP - you just have to do a little homework to find the good stuff and there is plenty info on these forums to get you started. This is the third year we will be doing QSDP and the shortest time we have stayed was last year which was 14 nights.

Thank you for all the suggestions. This is a hard decision especially since we will be there so many nights. My sister and her husband have two children(5 and 3 when we go), we thought it would be good to do table service and give them a chance to sit down and rest a bit.
