is onsite really that expensive?!?!

In regards to the dining plans .. you don’t have to use every table service credit every day😉you could have a couple of days where you eat quick service meals or even leave the parks or pay out of pocket for a meal. That means one day you could dine at a 2TS credit place. We’ve done this before ... the key to it all is remembering they are your meal credits to use as you wish however once they are gone you will need to pay cash for any other meals. As others have said some of the best meals we've enjoyed having not been at Signature restaurants but you have all the options there to use if you wish to.

if we were doing 14 nights, i would save up the TS credits, but as we're only doing 5ish nights, we want to eat every day, and doing 2ts places on deluxe ddp seems like the way to go

Agree with that. We only did five nights in February and there is no way I would have gone offsite.

Have you priced up Dvc ? It’s a lot cheaper to stay in the deluxe resorts and you get free parking inc . You would have to pay for meals but you may still find this cheaper . The Dvc rooms tend to be a little nicer with a small kitchen area which gives some flexibility with meals.

We priced up on site and off site and there was 1000 difference. But by the time you add all the food on (we have qsdp) from stopping offsite and the other hassles such as transportation we went with onsite.

It's the most expensive time outside of Christmas (higher than July/August usually)

It's Easter and it's spring break...

Myself id avoid spring break I like to stay away from lagered up uni students partying all hours. Now in a 400 room you'll miss a lot of that, but they will still be in the parks and I Drive etc.

I have been to Florida many times always with my family and they've always opted for offsite! I have stayed in POR for 3 nights without dining plan before and it was fab... this really was a one off though- always do a villa!

This year it is just me and my partner for two weeks and we have opted for a week at POFQ... I thought it was a great deal so went for it. We are booked to stay in September with the DDP ( upgraded for £170 for 2 from QS ) with the $100 gift card, tickets, memory maker etc for £2200 ... a great deal from Disney I would say!

This could be due to time of year as I originally looked for august and it came out at considerably more without the DDP!

Happy Planning
