U.K. 50th anniversary package includes up to a $950 Disney Dining Credit per room (your credit level scales depending on what level of resort you’re staying at), so long as that room is booked for a minimum of 2 weeks. It’s basically a gift card for food!
Only UK visitors for now, but sounds like they might be moving to a ‘pre-loaded gift card’ for Dining. Of course, the amount go down if you are at a Moderate or Value Resort…definitely won’t cover everyone for the entire length of stay.
I guess that makes sense considering the distance you are travelling to get here. Ya’ I haven’t done the math on DDP but it seems a bit light. Although we always have snack credits left over, it might work for us?
If we had snack credits at the end of the trip, I stocked up on Mickey rice krispie treats and the kids (and me) had lunch snacks once they were back at school. It helped a bit with re-entry.
We spend $3-400 on tips at 20% so what’s that, at least $1500 on TS meals. Plus we were getting QS with alcohol included and snacks. Though we did have to pay £500 to upgrade to the full plan because only deluxe get it free, QS plan at mods, 1 QS credit per day at values.
I started adding up all of my planned meals for an 8 day trip coming up and I wish I hadn’t. It came to around 1500 without tips and that’s only me. Not both of us.
The last time we did DDP was w/ a DDs trip b4 lockdown and we just did QS but the alcohol that they allow on it helped it to pay for itself. I always forget about adding on the tips when looking at my total costs. I remember when the DDP included the tip in the cost of the plan, that was awesome b/c there were truly no extra out of pocket costs.
I guess it works somewhat as a sale incentive, but zero purpose as a package add-on unless they seriously discount it. It doesn’t serve the same purpose as DDP at all as an add-on, really.
