If your used to DDP how are you doing it next time?

$5-10 Dessert
$5 Drink

It definitely would make me look at more a la carte options though, since I wouldn't normally order 3 courses.

That’s exactly the price ranges I was thinking. We’d definitely lower that with less appetisers and desserts. They always look good on paper but not really needed

I definitely have a couple days on my plan where I've opted for a kids meal in order to get dessert too. I wish there were a few more options that came with a small side instead of the smoothie + fruit combo though.

I'm already looking forward to your food report, imagining some quite creative combos to stretch that money

Kobe is meant to be better than Teppen Edo. There is also Shogun on Idrive.

We're looking at $150 including the Disney credit, but then we're not planning TS meals (other than the 2 I mentioned) or any dining packages.

Yes, definitely missing the dining plan

Glad to hear I'm not the only one!

Yes, it will be interesting to see how this food report varies from my previous ones. I think the main thing will be that we have fewer F&W goodies. One good thing is that our daughter now eats pizza (only taken her 19 years!) which means we can all enjoy Blaze. We love it there and think it's very good value too

We will be using some of our credit for the refillable mugs at resort so hopefully that will cut down on using some of the credit for drinks as we fill up when leaving for the parks in the morning. We will also buy water from instacart. Xmas 2019 Garden Grill cost us Ł250 including tip for the 4 of us thanks to seasonal pricing. I have no desire to repeat that! We will only be doing Space 220 because our little boy is space mad. We budget about Ł100 a day on top of the credit.

2022 trip is 6 nights onsite, then rest of trip is DVC.
We were used to DDP but always hated paying the tips for the TS meals!

This time we're planning 1 or 2 TS meals. Some favourite QS and snacks but we'll be buying most food stuff from supermarkets and eating out at the offsite restaurants as it'll be cheaper.

Yes, we'll be getting the refillable mugs too as we always use them loads!

Yes definitely although probably just two as my daughters only drink water. We say on holiday it’s fine but no interest in anything else. Saves a bit

This might be our last holiday with the four of us - I’m thinking, stuff it, and trying to save the equivalent of the DDP cost. I’m saying this before I’ve had a chance to look back at how much that would be in total. Have only ever paid the upgrade fee from QSDP.

I said the same and then looked at prices
