Just been thinking about this. If free dining isn’t offered we’ll look to rent points for 5 nights and pay for the DDP, we'll stay off site the rest of the time. We already have the Hard Rock booked for 3 nights from 31 Aug - 3 Sep 2020.

Plan A- POFQ with free dining Plan B- All Stars and pay for Dining Plan Plus but there is no availability on the Disney site for the All Stars for my dates so don't know if that means they are fully booked or not Plan C- save Disney for May 2022 and do Universal in May 2021 combined with another state Plan D- do Plan B but in September 2021 as All Stars are showing as available

We want wilderness lodge with DDP.
Will I pay for it if it isn’t free? I really don’t know. My plan B is therefore undecided as I’m pinning everything on getting plan A 😆 |

But will you buy what you want or think twice because of the cost Thats the great thing about free ddp. On our last stay we did did a split stay. First bit with free ddp and second without. I had the money but was reluctant to part with it when paying on the second part of our holiday

I’m also thinking about this too. Not sure of plan B. Still holding out for free Dining. Wanting to go August next year. Preferably a moderate with updated dining. Plan B could be a value and paid dining plan. Myself and my husband are big foodies but my 8 year old isn’t although she will like the character meets and stuff.

Turns out we have a Plan E instead of renting DVC points we bought a contract resale. We are hoping to use these points (and borrow a few from the next year). By now we also now that we have to make reservations for each park day. We paid a deposit for 14 day tickets and once we have our flights booked we will pay the tickets and start planning/reserving a park. For food, we have a budget of $250 per day (4 pers.)It will be different but skipping another year just wasn't an option...

I would love our Plan B to be buying DVC but unfortunately don’t have the cash flow. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the £30,000 Postcode Lottery win next month . Our Plan B is the Dolphin and just pay for food.

I think Free Dining is the only offer that would entice me to go to Disney next year. If they had of let me keep my free dining I would have moved to next year instead of cancelling.
If FD doesn't come out then thats the decision made & I'll either do a staycation in Ireland or go to one of the safer countries in Europe instead.

I had hoped that our first onsite Disney stay would be with free dining. However, as it’s not available for the foreseeable at least, it got me to consider which of the table service & quick service restaurants I really want to eat at and which I could take or leave. I came up with 4 table service, 6 quick service and many of the latter at Disney springs. In 3 trips I know what we’ve liked, not been fussed about and which we want to try - via paying OOP.
When staying onsite at universal we’ve always had club level and enjoyed breakfast and a light tea, with a snack/quick lunch in the parks. If we take the same approach at Disney and in the absence of free dining I’m happy to forego the dining plan. It will mean reduced room rates (we all know ‘free’ isn’t completely free), not being tied to ADR times every day, but having the flexibility to have a few table service meals where we really want them. Not over-eating to the extent I know we would on a plan, or having stacks of snack credits left to use to cram our luggage full of treats to bring back. I think we’ll have what we want, when we want it and knowing the Jul-Aug heat I’m confident we won’t want multiple big/heavy meals a day plus snacks. That’s the logic I’m applying this time around in booking - but I’m still hoping to try the plan out on a future trip Edited at 12:02 AM. Reason: Typo |
