This will be our first trip without the Deluxe Dining Plan..

What does that mean?

OP had a typo in the thread title since corrected. It said "strip" instead of trip.

Oh. LOL I totally did not read it that way. Thank you for letting me know. I thought that was some new Disboard lingo I was missing out on.

I'd also take this trip to explore some new restaurants that aren't quite as pricey as the signatures and definitely not a daily character meal OOP. There are some great options at the resorts aside from the signatures (wave, kona cafe) and QS options too (contempo cafe is a fave).

I'd add Yak & Yeti, BoG for lunch, Plaza or Linerty Tree for TS or Columbia Harbor House, and of course tons of options at Epcot.
