I was just pricing out some rack rate packages so I will be able to evaluate whatever deals come my way. Will somebody please talk me out of the Deluxe Dining? I keep thinking how NICE it would be to have all of our food paid for up front and not have to worry about it. $70 per person, per day for 3 meals, 2 snacks, and a refillable mugs. Booking through
AAA would save us $480 off the cost of the room if we can't get a Bounce Back or some other deal. The problem is DS doesn't eat $70 worth of food in a day. Heck, even when he was on the child's
DDP he barely ate $10 worth of food in a day!
Well, maybe that's not true. He probably eats $30-$35 worth of food each day if we go to dinner at a TS with a menu. If we do buffets it doesn't matter that he doesn't eat because we still pay the adult price. Hmm.
Do you think you would be able to eat 3 meals a day? Or have the time? I'm good with one meal and a snack, since they give you so much food.
I am looking for fleece hoodies for the boys & myself as well. Do you feel like my personal shopper

The other thing to consider is that DS might start to eat, which would change the dynamics of everything! I guess the reason I like the Deluxe plan is because for OOP we budget $50 per person, per day. But that's eating 2 CS and a TS. If we wanted to do a buffet breakfast and a signature dinner it would run more than $70 per person if DS orders from the adult menu. If we wanted to do a buffet breakfast, a CS lunch, and a TS dinner it would be close to $70 if DS orders from the adult menu. I don't think we would save a ton on the plan, I just like having it. What gets me is whether we would save ENOUGH on the plan to skip the AP room discount. If the AP discount is $70 per night, and the 
That's a buffet breakfast, 2 snacks, and dinner at Citrico's ordering from the adult menu for DS. Yikes! I can't believe there is that much difference! That's $675 MORE for the DDP over the span of 9 nights. Now I did add in one day base tickets for the 3 of us and pro-rated the cost over the 9 nights, which raised the daily cost of the DDP package by $25 total. But if we take the tickets out of the equation the DDP is still $50 more for my sample day. And the 30% off deluxe room bounce back is a better discount than AP, so if I can get that I would be way ahead.
