Which plan?

[Angel_Seel]

Ok, really not sure which plan to go with. We have a DD-2 and DS-4. I will be 5 months pg...We were thinking about the Magic Your Way Plus Dining. My only concern is I have to eat about every 2 hours because I get sick if I don't.

TIA

It all depends on what kind of experience you want to have. I like the regular dining plan because I don't want to eat 2 sitdown and 1 CS meal everyday. We've gone the past 3 years - since my kids were 2 & 3, and I know that at those ages they wouldn't have sat for that long that often for meals.

We aren't big breakfast eaters, and I always pack an assortment of things to eat in the morning - including Oatmeal to go bars, Granola bars, Nutrigrain bars, and pop tarts. Then we eat an early lunch and an early dinner with a snack thrown in there. One other thing we did when they were little and not big eaters was to get 2 CS meals and split them for breakfast, and then split 2 more CS meals for lunch. Part of the issue you may run into is that your 2 year old can't get either of the dining plans...you'll need to buy a meal for them, or split some food with them anyway. We found there to be plenty of food at each meal to split with the kids before my youngest was able to get the DDP.

Either way, I would pack some small, healthy snack items to carry through the park with you for both you and the kiddos, just in case.

My family loves to eat, but we would not eat as much food as the plus plan. We get the regular DP. I take us something for a light b'fast (Nutri Grain bars, bananas, yogurt, etc.). Then we eat lunch at 11:30 to 12:30, then have an afternoon snack, then dinner.
