    Walt Disney World Tip #2015 - Deciding on the Dining Plan


    At level 3, you can mark this tip as a favorite!
    Disney Dining Plan yay or nay? This will require a bit of work, but I found it was well worth it. To decide if the dining plan was for us, I made a chart including breakfast/lunch/dinner for each day of our trip. I planned where we would be eating each day -- sometimes table service, sometimes picked a quick service restaurant -- and I guessed at what each of us might eat. The kids were pretty easy to guess for, and I often picked a mid-range priced entree for the adults. I added up what each meal would cost us out-of-pocket and compared that with what the dining plan would cost us each day. Make sure to include beverages! I found we are much better off getting a room only discount, even when the dining plan is free! We certainly won't stick to the plan exactly, but it at least gave me a guide. We found that we just don't eat as much as the dining plan provides for, so that paying for the dining plan wasn't economical for us.
