Hello Catherine,
My husband and I love the Disney Dining Plan (DDP). With the DDP, you would receive:
- one Table Service meals or buffet
- one Quick Service meals
- one snack
for each night of your stay.
Let's say you go with the regular DDP. From what you already have planned, it seems you are already using four Table Service entitlements during your five night stay. You would have access to one more Table Service meal during your vacation plus five quick service meals and snacks. Since you already know where you are eating, wouldn't it be great to pre-pay those meals so that when you arrive you're virtually worry-free? The DDP can save you up to 25% on dining. Really can't beat that.
Now, I will say this. The DDP does not include alcoholic beverages. And each meal includes a dessert. So if you like a cocktail with our meal or don't have a sweet tooth, the DDP may not be for you. But if you're like me and my husband, you'll really like having the DDP.
I hope this helps. Happy eating!
