WWYD? Dining Plan Question

[keriannhoward]

Here's the situation: the family is myself, DH, DD and DS. My DH is a VERY picky eater, and will only eat hamburgers or pepperoni pizza the entire time we're there. DD and DS will eat anything, as will I, but DS is only 3.

We'll be at CSR for 3 nights only-would the dining plan be worth it do you think? A large part of vacation for me is not having to cook and eating new things, but DH does put a damper on that for me. My 3 yo is a pretty good eater so I'm not so worried about that.

Also, we have a room only reservation-are we still able to get the dining package?

Thanks for any opinions!

I believe the dining option is only available when you purchase a package...unless they've changed it for 2006?

You would have to cancel your room only and get the package. Though I was told by Disney that they could do that seemlessly and you wouldn't lose your room. I don't know if that's true and I would ck before canceling your original ressie.

We are in the same boat..with room only at CSR. I have a 3yr old and an 18 month old. Every time I do the math it just evens out or is a little better with the package. My AAA room only rate offsets the savings from the meal plan. When I looked into the AAA package rate is wasn't that far off from Disneys rate. So the saga continues.

We are not big eaters. I mean we eat..but it seems for the dining plan to be worth it for us we would have to eat alot. Not having to worry about paying though is nice. And looking at those menu prices is really bugging me. But I did my math based on what we would eat at the restaurants..TS..and it broke even with the package. So now I am hoping for room or AP codes and that will save me more. Then we'll get the DDE card and save 20% on our meals.

That's our plan anyways..long story not so short.

Good luck!
