What do you have to pay out of pocket when you have the dining plan?

We find that we spend very little outside of tips when we are on the dining plan. It is a great way to prepay for the food, but it has gotten to be too much food for us now. Have a great trip!
 
We get the dining plan every year. If you do character breakfasts and dinners like we do, it's definitely worth it. If you are the type to not eat a big breakfast or dinner, then skip it. For our family of 4, (both of my kids are considered adults at Disney now), it costs me $200.00/ day for the dining plan. Now that includes tax, but not tip, which costs 20% out of pocket. They change the dining plan from time to time. For instance, the table service now includes the entree, dessert, and a non-alcoholic beverage. Before this, it also included the appetizer.
 


Also if you order any appetizers or alcoholic drinks, these are OOP. If you want to eat at more TS than your daily allotment, these will also be OOP. Some people bring breakfast food from home or pay OOP for some breakfasts.
 
Alcohol, appetizers if on the regular plan, specialty drinks like the glow ones, or imported waters and tips.
 
We had the regular dining plan and paid OOP for an extra meal per day because we eat 3 meals a day. Mostly these were CS meals but we also paid OOP for breakfast at the Crystal Palace.

We drove & had a cooler for drinks so we would have had to pay OOP for extra drinks or got the refillable mug if we hadn't.
