AS found on DVCNews:
In 2010 Disney will introduce tiered seasonal pricing for the Disney Dining Plan. However, according to Disney Vacation Club members will be exempt from paying the higher prices being charged to most cash guests.
The base price for the standard Disney Dining Plan is increasing to $41.99 per adult and $11.99 per child age 3-9. The Disney Dining Plan provides (1) Table Service meal, (1) Counter Service meal and (1) snack per day for the standard fee.
During peak dining periods, the price for cash guests increases to $46.99 per adult and $12.99 per child. The peak dining periods are defined as:
February 12 - April 10, 2010
June 4 - August 14, 2010
December 17 - 31, 2010
Disney Vacation Club members staying on points during these periods will not be required to pay the higher peak season rates. The $41.99 and $11.99 rates will apply throughout the year.
The pricing increase I can understand, and whether or not you use the DDP offerings is specific to your family requirements; but notice that the increase is not only the $, but the reduction of snacks offered.
We used to particiate in the DDP when we had a full family to feed, and at that time, it seemed like a better deal. Now with just DW and I, the TIW (interesting name - don't get me started) is a better way to go for us.
Just another slow decay of the magic . . . . .
