The new dining plan will be interesting based on price. Two TS service option would have likely been the route we went on our recent trip but opted for Deluxe because one TS wasn’t enough. I will say it is a ton of food. But, it worked for us because my mom was with us half of our trip so we used quite a few credits on her. We had credits for 2 adults and 1 child for 7 days plus the snacks. We did 7 character meals. Most of which only took about an hour so it really wasn’t much more time than quick service. The plan for us was right at $2k and the bills for all the meals together was around $2,700-$3,000 ($150/meal or so from speciality drinks, appetizer, entree (or buffet) and dessert. You had in the snacks at roughly $5/each and that’s another $210 value ($5 x 42).
Had my mom not been with us some days for us to share credits, I would not advise doing it. Planning around 3 meals a day is hard not to mention it’s eating a lot. But, it was enjoyable trying many different restaurants at different resorts.
Here is where we ate:
Breakfast/Brunch-Chef Mickey’s, Ohana, Garden Grill, Kona Cafe, 1900 Park Fare
Lunch-Liberty Tree Tavern, Whispering Canyon, Yak and Yeti, Akershus, Chefs de France, Skipper Canteen
Dinner-1900 Park Fare, The Plaza, Tusker House, Biergarten, Teppan Edo, Ohana
