Thoughts on switching Dining Plan... what am I missing?

[DashMom]

Im thinking this out, and would love some input from the experts.

On previous trips to WDW, we bought the deluxe dining plan. My son (age 16) and I love good food and would get a snack for lunch and then go to a double point restaurant for dinner. (whatever you call the double point restaurants!)

On this trip, we are on a tighter budget and the difference on the 2 plans is $300 for the three days. That is a lot!

Here's what i was thinking...
we love BOMA for breakfast and if we went there, I could pay (about $50 for both of us.) That night, we could have a Quick service dinner (and a snack in between) Another night we could have a double point dinner, with the quick service breakfast and snack for lunch and the last day have the quick, snack and one point dinner. Then, if I have to supplement, I can't imagine spending $250 on more food. Am I missing anything?

Also, I am pescetarian (vegetarian, plus fish) and my son eats everything (in sight!) Any recommendations for one point restaurants for me?

We're probably staying at a value hotel

Thanks.

If you're both adults and you want to save money, don't buy any dining plan. It's seriously not worth it. Plug your plans into www.distripplanner.com to see an estimated breakdown.
