Dining plan vs no dining plan
I've just listed out my ADRs and assumed an "average" for QS meals. I have AP and DVC discounts, so I tried to account for all that,too.
We have 2 rooms: 3 people and 2 people. 1 room is 7 nights and 1 room is 6 nights (we are keeping one room on last day because of very late flight and want the option of showers, rest etc)
So, I have an awful lot of combos as far as how to 1) list the people in each room and 2) choosing different plans for each room.
Since I know about how many TS and QS I will "need" I have a pretty good idea on how to narrow things down.
And I have.
But the numbers are just so close.
I think the best dining plan option (closest match to what we intend to use) will cost us about $200 MORE than if we pay OOP.
However, I did not include any alcoholic beverages if OOP and very few desserts. Also, I am limiting our snacks to 1 per person per day if OOP and planning on a breakfast or 2 of cereal in the room.
So, for $200, we could have drinks and desserts and extra snacks if we want them and I am absolutely sure we would not need to spend any add'l cash OOP for meals and wouldn't NEED to eat cereal in the room. We will be ok without all that, but wouldn't mind having them and I kind of like the idea of not being "limited"
1) WWYD?
3 people in our group are 21+ but the young just turned 21 yo does not drink (at least not with us).
2) If we are pooling credits from a room with Deluxe DP and a room with QSDP, does who booked which plan (and their 21+ status) matter for ordering?
My D does not drink soda, so she will almost always just drink water. Her BF (21 non drinker) likes soda. So, I was thinking he could order a beer/wine/whatever for me or dh (bonus drink for one of us) and DD could order a soda for him.
3) Would this be possible?
Any thoughts appreciated! Thanks!
