Would You Do This?

[Terk-1]

Would you pay for one meal OOP so you can go to Hoop Dee Doo for 2 credits?

Yes. You could even do a cs instead of a ts for that extra meal, or pick a ts place that isn't too expensive (breakfast, The Plaza, Trail's End, etc.) when you're paying OOP.

Yes we did do this. One of the long park days we just did CS for both meals. It worked out well because if we are having a good day in the parks my kids hate to leave and "waste" 2 hours on a meal, so on our BB day we went to Hoop that evening.

Absolutely! HDDR is worth it in my opinion. We did this our last trip and if we needed to would have done it again on this trip!

We paid OOP for Sci-Fi Dine In this past vacation after we used up all of our ADRs.

I have been trying to find ways it is worth it to me to do CRT next time, and I think I decided I am OK with it if we use Sci-Fi as our OOP, since the prices aren't really that bad there. Or maybe do a CS as OOP.

I'm doing this. I'm using 2 credits for HDDR and paying out of pocket for CRT.

Definately!!!!!!! Love HDDR

 

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

Yes we did last time and will again this time.

the credit was made up with a counter service. plus, on the day that we did the hddr we had breakfast, snack mid day, dinner at night. so we didn't even use a counter that day.

on a different day we used a snack at breakfast (muffin!) counter for lunch and a counter svc for dinner.

all worked out just fine. :O)

We did this our last trip & will be doing it again this trip. WE love HDDR!! We usually just pay OOP for one of our character breakfasts to make up for it.

 

[pennst8r]

Yep, did it last year.

HDDR is one of the few 2 credit experiences that is really "worth it" with the basic dining plan. Not only is it a blast, but from a $$$ standpoint, it really is worth 2 TS credits when you consider that gratuities are included.

On Deluxe, it's a no-brainer.

 

[Hopefully]

Yes, we love the HDDR.
We are doing this on our upcoming trip. - Actually DS and his GF are treating us to Tier 1 seating OOP, and we will use the TS credit for that meal for Jiko - a 2 TS credit meal.
This is the best of both worlds.
Have a Great Trip

I didn't pay OOP for any full meals, but did use 2credits each for 2 meals.

If I didn't have the meal plan, I might have only ate at 2 or 3 sitdown meals, the rest counter service- not because of cost, but because of the time factor.

I figured 8 table service meals over my 9 day stay would just take too much time, but by spending 2 for Poly's Luau Cove do, and 2 for HDDR, that left 4 table service meals, and gave me "2 nights off" so to speak.

That worked really well for me in terms of credit use.
I still had 1 counter service and 1 snack when I checked out (Used them, had POR put all in takeout containers).
The only food I paid out of pocket for was alcohol, occasional frozen lemonade, and appetizers at the table service restaurants (I was so tired of desserts!). Oh, and I bought bagels from the POR gift shop for my breakfasts.- I did eat all my breakfasts in my room.

YES! We have done it in the past and are doing it again on our upcoming trip, paying for Sci-Fi oop.
