Yep, that's what Tyler said when I first told him we were going back WITH NO DINING PLAN! Then he asked how he was going to have a steak for every meal without a dining plan. Yep, he did.
But this idea was born for two reasons. One, because we did not expect to even be back so we were doing this cheap (I don't quite know how well that worked out for us, we'll find out together) and two, because on our last trip (December 8, 2015 thru January 1, 2016) we used the Deluxe Dining Plan for 14 days...as was normal for me and the kids for about the past 8 years. But now that we added Cary and both the kids are adults, we found it a lot of food and a lot of ADRs with FP+ "appointments" and our dining dynamics had changed a bit. SO we wanted to go the exact opposite extreme (Deluxe Dining Plan with 2-3 meal per day to no dining plan, paying out of pocket for everything) to see which fit up better now or where we needed to be on the dining plan spectrum.
So welcome to our experiment!
