Ok
DDP supporters, I tried really hard to make the regular dining plan work for our food and wine trip next September because I want to do a few of the more expensive restaurants but I just can't seem to make the numbers work. I tried to choose really good value restaurants with the exception of California grill.
I chose most of the options listed below because there are decent vegetarian options and a good DDP value.
I do understand that being a vegetarian hurts the value but do most of you eat steak or the most expensive items on every menu?
Besides the value just not being there, I just don't think we could eat this much food. Are most of you big eaters? Do you have a ton of credits left at the end of the week? I know we would use all of the table service credits and snack credits but I'm fairy confident we would have several quick service meals left at the end of the week. I'm cheap and I know I would feel like I had to get a qs meal when I wasn't hungry so it didn't go to waste.
Here is what I came up with, if I am missing something, please let me know.
(2 quick service) Bog breakfast if we both order Mimosa's $76 $68.00 after AP discount
(2 quick service) Bog lunch I chose the least expensive & most expensive things on the menu+ 2 $9 cocktails $48 $43 after AP discount
Table services
(2 table service) 1900 park fare $116 $104 after Ap discount
(2 table service) Crystal palace $107.00 $97 after AP
(2 table service credits) California grill Chose $46 meal, $14 dessert & a $9 cocktail.
will pay my meal OOP approx $40 (added $40 to the plan cost) 69.00 $62.00 after AP discount. (Really bad value, I know)
(2 table service credits) River light dinner package $117.00 $105 after AP discount
(2 table service credits) OHana dinner $110 $99 after ap discount
(2 table service credits) undecided, ball parking a random restaurant at $110 $99 after ap discount
$677.00 for all table service meals (not including tips) & 2 qs meals at bog
12 table service credits & 2 bog qs credits= $677.00
10 qs credits did an average of $17 each. Some will be less some will be more. $170
12 snack credits worth approximately $5 each $60
2 mugs- minimal to no value as we would use them.
Total numbers
Cost if dining plan for 6 nights + the $40 for my CG meal is $952.00
The value $907.00
