What do you usually spend on a meal with the quick servive plan?

[babyfacebabe86]

Me, my husband, and 4yr old daughter are going to Disney World in a couple weeks for the 1st time. I was thinking about doing the quick service plan, but I don't know how much the food cost there to know if its a good deal or not. I know we would use all the credits. How much is a usual counter service meal run? And also how do you know which resturants are counter service and which ones are table?? Thanks in advance!

The price vary with what you order.

If you click on this link it will give you a list of the DDP places with menus and prices, scroll down til you get to the list-it will have CS, Snacks and TS meals in rows http://www.wdwinfo.com/disney-dining-plan.htm

As noted, the prices can vary. Kid's meals, on the whole, run a little under $5 after tax, which makes the $9/night QSDP a good bargain for kids without question. (Plus you get 2 snacks and the resort mug.)

If you're sticking to typical park CS locations, the QSDP value depends a lot on whether or not you get desserts. A typical park entree runs somewhere between $7 and $9 (after tax), a typical beverage is about $2.50, and a typical dessert runs $2.50 to $3. This gives a low-end of $12 and a high end close to $15. By the time you add in the snacks, breaking even or better at $30/night is pretty much guaranteed if you're getting the desserts. Note that these prices are based on what I saw in March, and may not reflect any price increases since then.

Of course, there are non-typical and out-of-park options as well, many of which would run higher costs out of pocket, and would be better "deals" on the dining plan.
