When I first went to WDW there was no such thing as a dining plan. People just payed for their meals.

We’ve not done it yet but will be in August.We are staying at Coronado springs for 2 weeks and have no dining plan.This was not by choice and if I had known earlier that we were going back I’d have booked before the free dining ended.My DH surprised me with it at Christmas and was quite adamant that he wanted to stay onsite, he’d even been to a travel agent and got a quote with the QSDP included(paid for). I booked everything myself and got everything for almost £4,000 less than the travel agent wanted without a dining plan. We will eat breakfast in the room and do a supermarket trip for drinks and snacks. I know it’s not going to be cheap but it’s going to be our last trip as a family over there .I am actually quite looking forward to the freedom of not having the plan and I’m sure we will Uber off site a few nights to eat.

Stayed onsite for 2 weeks without DDP multiple times. We budget $15 per person per meal for QS. We also do 1 dinner and 1 buffet breakfast ADR, and add this to budget. So 1 Sig at $160, and ! buffet at $75. Works for us.

We stay onsite all the time and haven’t used a dining plan since 2010 when we first got DVC.
We have never spent as much as the DDP would have cost us plus we also don’t over eat. Since DD turned 10 there is no way it would work for us. Like others have said we get snacks/drinks/breakfast for the room. We will also go out to IHOP for breakfast and for about $15/person have a good breakfast and we don’t need lunch. Dinner is a mix of Disney restaurants/ offsite restaurants and the lounges. |

Thanks all.
We had DDP last time and used all our credits, we were actually short of credits towards the end. We do tend to eat 3 times a day, always onsite, with a sit down meal each day and we used our snack credits daily. I think we would be looking at around £3000+ on food and drink over 2 weeks for 4 of us! |
