Teens and the Dining plan

[AintGonaGrowUp]

I know what the adults have to say. I know what the adults with the kids have to say...But what do the Teens have to say?

Dining plan? Worth it or a waste? Easy or pain in the butt?

We had the dining plan and I loved it. It made eating both meals and snacks very easy.
The first year we went we didn't do the dining plan and it was way more expensive. I much prefer the dining plan.

The Dining Plan is awesome! It is kinda complicated when you first use it (especially with a techy-challenge mother) but once you get it, it is pretty easy and makes dining SOOOOO much easier.

Interesting question. We're doing the DP on our next trip.
We were going to skip it because everytime we added up everything, we were paying way more than we would without it, but we're going to try it anyway.
On the QS DP you can combine 2 QS meals to make a TS right? Is this at any TS restaurant?

We've never used it. It's seems kind of confusing but then again, we've never used. I bet its good once you get the hang of it

I think it depends on where you go, and what you eat really. It would definitely take more planning, well for me it would, because you'd have to add up the price of everything you might eat, to see if it would go above or under the price of the DDP every day.

The dining plan is amazing. You don't have to woory about paying for the overpriced snacks and food. I know it comes in handy. When i go, its very hot and sometimes we go to a walmart right off disney property (that you can actually see the top of kidani village from there) and buy a case or two of water bottles. But, we stay for 2 weeks and sometimes we don't feel like carrying them in our bags so, we buy them at the parks. Another thing is we have 4 people in my family and sometimes my cousin stays a night or two. So we go through them very quickly. The only thing is, one water bottle is like $3. If you had the chice to use the dining plan, i'd say go for it!

This is just me, but... I think it's a waste of time.
Last time we went to WDW, we were all aflutter about getting to the right place at the right time.
We even had to miss the Magic Kingdom fireworks. D:

But I think it differs from person to person...

I don't know how it works but to my family I think it would be a waste. I heard its mostly for sit-downs and we pretty much only eat at QS. Plus my mom has the Tables of Wonderland card which gves us a good enough discount as is. And we eat a lot of snacks but it depends on the day. Like somedays we crave the popcorn and get it like 3 times and then the next we don't want anything or we want ice cream.

But that is just how my wacky family works...lol

Once you get through all the planning for it, it's wonderful. My mom can never tell me no when I want something to drink or eat! I love it when we have to zero out our cards and we get tons of Disney snacks for the ride home.

Really? Like, my family had reservations we had to get to, too, but usually restaurants will let you in with really no reservations, if you are early or late. They aren't too stern.

It's not. There are a few different plans you can get to suit your kind of vacation.

We don't do a lot of sit down meals so we got the plan without it and it was perfect.

<3 it! We've used the dinning plan on most our vacations to Disney and it make things so simple. Yeah it's complicated at first but it gets easier once u start using it.

 

[disneydance]

We love the dining plan and think it's well worth the cost! It makes things so much easier in the long wrong! Sure there's a little bit of planning ahead that goes with it but when we look at our bill we came out ahead. Also my Dad's company gives out 15% off of everything at WDW so we got 15% off on food by using it which if we would of not used it we wouldn't have gotten the 15% off.

Never done it, don't want to try it.
