Thinking of doing dining plan and skipping concierge

[Ladyhawke10]

I like to go concierge when we stay at WDW--just to have everything taken care of and so I can relax completely. I love the convience of just being able to get breakfast for my son rather than go out. However, the AP prices for concierge next year aren't that great, and the dining plan is looking really good at only 45 dollars a day between the two of us. Do you think I will miss the luxury of concierge terribly if I substitute this aspect of our trip for lots of dining out (when we go concierge, we rarely go to the sit down restaurants--we are not big eaters and snacks and a couple counter service meals are usually fine). This way we will be doing table service every night instead, and probably some character breakfasts. Some of the restaurants I am trying of trying are Whispering Canyon, Ohana's, Coral Reef, Alfredo's, Le Cellier, Narcoosee's and Artist Point. I want to plan a long trip so we can fit it all in! Oh, hoping to try Boma as well.

What do you think?

Thanks for any input!!!

This is what I am trying to decide. if I go concierge like I have booked I will go to one sit down dinner a night but the sncks and stuff I do anyhow, I am so confused. Help, I'm with Ladyhawke10, what should I do? Thanks for the help

We opted to do Sugar Loaf and go with the dining plan. We have 3 children. Since SL is now full concierge, we feel that it is a perfect fit for us. We always use the lounge as an extension of our room. We will use our dining plan to go to Signature Restaurants that use 2 TS credits and do a character breakfast.

If we had only 2 or 3 people I'd either book Concierge without the meal plan or book a regular room with the meal plan. I know it is a hard decision.
