Yeah two snacks and a sit down meal per day is more than fine. Late lunch or earlier dinner worked great for an all day trip to Euro Disney for me and my fiancé.
How was the food and Disneyland Paris?? Never been, looking to go someday soon!
My name is Steve from California. Nov 27-Dec 5 , 2023 was my last visit to WDW and our 9th overall, was also there in October 2022. the 2022 and 23 trips there was no dining plan but the previous 7 trips we did have it. HONESTLY reading about the plan now , before you got 2 snack credits and either an apitizer or desert, not worth it to us now. We like the dinner show meals, Fantasmic, candlelight pressional etc also. We ate dinners at Boma, Teppan Edo, Biergarten, Liberty tree tavern etc. Quick service lunches. DisDrew GIVES GOOD insight to DDP and I suggest you try it once to see how you like it. Be careful if you have as extras at a meal it can add up.
Thanks so much for your personal experience! Dinner shows definitely add up but are super fun. We almost did one for Fantasmic but it ended up super expensive and I got the flu so we swapped to a regular dinner at Brown Derby.
Love the comment. Hope you enjoy our future videos too!
You're presenting the Disney dining plan as if it saves you money... it RARELY does, and if it did it would have to be with extremely careful planning and being sure to have alcohol with your counter and table service meals. The hassle of trying to plan out every restaurant and every meal so you don't lose money isn't worth it.
You said it's nice to know how much your meals cost ahead of time. You do not know how much your meals cost ahead of time, you only know what you paid for the plan. When you had "put aside" money for dining and it started to run out, then you didn't put aside enough money. It's that simple. The dining plan doesn't fix that... it isn't going to give you more if you run out of credits. And more importantly, it's not giving you any money back if you have left over credits. For every credit that you didn't get the fullest value, you've lost money.
You are not getting that $60 steak for the cost of a burger, You PAY for that steak... upfront (and btw, there is Nowhere you can get a $60 steak that is only 1 table service credit, or an "enhancement" that upcharges). If you decided not to get a very expensive meal, maybe the place you chose doesn't have anything expensive that appeals to you, or more commonly, they don't have anything expensve enough to cover what you already paid for that credit, then you have lost money you don't get back.
Also, If you were disappointed that you had to cancel Space220 because of the cost, you're gonna still be disappointed because they don't accept the dining plan.
If you want your meals prepaid, put the money on a gift card. Put the whole amount of the Dining Plan on the card. Then, when you have money left, and you most likely will have quite a bit left, you can use it to purchase souveniers or pay your resort bill.
I know you're trying to be helpful, but you're missing the mark by a longshot. People are watching your video for guidance on the dining plan and you are giving inaccurate information.
Thanks for the feedback! I definitely did not say it saves you money, I stressed the convenience as the benefit, not saving money. It is nice to pay prior to the trip and not worry during the trip. $60 steak was just an example. But to be more specific, a $36 steak at Mama Melrose is the same "credit" as a $13 grilled chicken. So I prefer having the Dining Plan where I do not have to stress over the dollar values and can just get what I want.
It has been proven that it does not save money. Defining the "worth" of DDP is more than just dollars. It is the convenience, personal preference, etc. For this video, I made sure to keep it opinionated rather than act as a guide. I will try to make that more clear in future videos.
Definitely love your idea about loading gift cards with the price of DDP, that is intriguing and could definitely benefit guests.
Also I was not aware Space220 didn't take the plan, that is a shame! Hopefully they become a 2-credit restaurant soon. My bad for missing that.
Thanks so much for watching and engaging. I love getting feedback, even when it is criticism. I hope you'll stick around for future videos. Perhaps in the future I will make a follow-up touching on your points.
