Here's one:
What is your least favorite TS?
Akershus
And I know I'll get flamed for this but Chef Mickey- went for dinner and thought it was gross.

I didn't get the gc but if I had. 9 night x $75 = $675.
$200 for alcohol (only dh but some drinks $10-20 a piece)
$100 souvenirs
$25 for 1 mug we always buy this as our souvenir
$200 for tips
$40 for 1 new pin each
$110 1 meal OOP
Pretty easy. Once I get my package paid off I'll need about $1000 extra to pay those things above and to kennel the dogs. Lol!!
So it is a savings (at least for me) but not really off the room rate but has to be factored in as money saved. Now if you won't buy any souvenirs or drink at all. Then $675 is too much for just tips.
You can tip using GC??? I had no idea!!!

Hands down...Garden Grill, which we got after a reservation change toward the end of our trip...and after following up after the likes of Tusker House, Narcoosse's, CRT, etc...very disappointing. Long wait even with ADR and bland mediocre food. Meeting Chip and Dale was nice but not worth it.
Never did Akershus or Chef Mickey dinner. The Dinner menu at Chef Mickeys wasn't appealing. We have had up and down experiences at The Wave. Last year we did Liberty Tree before the Halloween party and it wasn't as good as prior times.

Akershus had great character interaction- but food was not good
How does everyone figure the OOP expenses? On the WDW app it says $34.99-$59.99 do you go with the highest price? And how do you know children's prices per buffet. Other ones I can see their prices for. Also, I know it's meal, soft drink and desserts for dinner with FD but do meals come with a salad? Let's say at Tony's. I'm trying to figure OOP vs Upgrading AND I feel clueless
I believe prices fluctuate based on season - value season sees lower end of the prices, and peak season the higher ones.
This is why the DP is so important to us. This time around my kiddos are 6, 5 and 2.5. EVERY TS meal is a character meal. We definitely get our money's worth.

It is almost always cheaper to book a RO offer than FD when talking Deluxe.

I'm almost 100% sure my TA checked about switching my tickets from that Savory Summer Offer (1 CS meal per night per person) to Canadian Tickets and we couldn't. Not to mention that those ticket prices were before they increased in price.It does just default to Canadian tickets, but I think another poster reported earlier that for the limited free dining offer for the summer they were unable to stack the Canadian ticket offer with that limited free dining offer... I was curious if anyone had any luck stacking the Canadian ticket offer with a BB FD offer, but I don't think anyone responded which made me think it did not happen...
I am a steak eater so most times I'd rather book somewhere I can get a filet mignon. Based on price alone the character buffets are good uses of dining credits but more often the food leaves a lot to be desired.
I got one of the worst migraine headaches of my life while eating there - not sure if it was the motion or the food, but I haven't had the courage to go back. I can't even remember what food I ate!Here's one:
