Yes. This is the thing. We know what we will be eating…and actually, we often over-estimate compared to what we end up eating. But even in doing that, I can’t find a path that makes the DDP worth it. I would have to purposely choose food I wouldn’t otherwise choose to eat!!! (That is to say…I’d never choose to eat that Bison Burger!)

So I guess you won’t be purchasing it then

We would for sure have to do the math. The bit that will bring us to not getting it is the restaurants requiring 2 credits are where we usually go. In the order of operations, we decide where first, then if the DDP will fit in, rather than shoehorning ourselves into restaurants that we may not have chosen just because they’re covered by the plan.

This will be a consideration for sure.

If you don’t drink, there is no way to make the TS plan work. I could probably break even with QS, but no way with TS. Since kids are adults at Disney at 10, you are penalized if the fall into the 10-20 range. I know they can get a specialty drink, but $8 nonalcoholic vs a $16 alcoholic drink is a huge disparity in value.

in the past, a dessert was included with Docking Bay 7 and Satu’li for the QS credit(I don’t think it took a snack credit either)… I can’t tell, is that now done or don’t we know?
It didn’t seem to be stated clearly in the past either? So it was a nice little surprise that all I was on the hook for was my drink. (edit: maybe I was able to sub my drink for the dessert? I do remember I had to pay for my drink, otherwise that would a snack credit would be used)

How about Docking Bay 7?
Batuuan Beef: $18.99, Tukodana Quencher- $16.50= $35.49
$1.01 less than Geyser and still over $104 for the day (before snack and mug).
I would generally say I would never consider a QS dining plan but then I look at some of these prices!
We used to get the DP for part of our trip (split stay), use some credits for signature dining, some QS and regular TS and split meals at every meal. This allowed us to eat well over 3 full days for 2nights of the plan. I don’t think that strategy will save money these days but I will check the math.

I’m confused. Is the drink included with the QS meal? I thought you just get the entree, and the drink is your snack credit.

Oh! I’m doing my math wrong then.
I feel like QS came with a dessert, then they took it away, then they added it again, and now they took it away again. Terribly confusing really.

I think they added a snack when they took the dessert away.

That sounds right. I think QS and TS both had dessert included and it was one snack a day, but then the QS dropped the dessert and they added 2 snacks a day.

A drink is included with both QS and TS meals. If you are over 21 your drink can be an alcoholic one. The drink included with each of the meals could also be a specialty beverage–like milk shake, smoothie-- or a soft drink.
Now we have no dessert or extra snack…

Both plans also include the refillable mug, so if you are redeeming a QS meal at a resort, you don’t actually need to get a drink if you use the refillable mug. The last time we did QS and ate at our resort, we got a bottle of water with the meal, used the mug as well and took the water bottle with us to use while inside the parks.

This is exactly what we used to do, if and when, we ate in a resort food court.

Paying $94 per day for meals for a 10 year old seems to be a steep price.

Has there been any word/indication as to whether any of the meal credits can still be exchanged for snack credits, as was often the case in the past…particularly for those who would eat at the festival booths in Epcot?
