We did the math

[Doot Fan Mommy]

and are upgrading to the deluxe plan for our upcoming trip.

It is probably more food than we NEED to have but the basic plan was not going to be enough (we are there for 4 nights and five FULL days) and figured we would be spending a good amount OOP. Also, we were able to apply a discount code to our vacation package and saved the equivalent of getting the basic plan for free so we felt better about upgrading.

Besides, it's kind nice to know that this is paid for in advance so that it spreads out the cost of the trip and reduces he amount of money we need to have on hand while on the trip!

I did the same thing I did the math as well and decided that the DLX DP would be better. the reg dining plan would not have been enough, we also will be there 4 nights and 5 full days so I upgraded to the DLX dining plan. Right now I was able to get most of my ADR's but even If the rest of the meals are CS it will be worth it.

from someone who just enjoyed ten days on the deluxe plan... be prepared for the gratuities!!! i took it for granted when the tips were included... now that they're not, watch out! while you may feel that you are getting the best bang for your buck ordering the most expensive item, 18-20% adds up quickly!!! near the end of our trip, when making last minute ADRs we went for Cindy's Castle and HDDR 'cause the gratuity was included and we had already overspent the budget! (and because my kids were dying to eat in the castle again and HDDR had been a tradition and i thought we'd btdt enough and booked the luau but the kids were disappointed not to be going to HDDR so i was glad to book it at the last minute for them and my wallet... i never solely let my wallet decide! LOL!)
