Hi there Disney friends,
My last post dealt with the three different Disney dining plans that are offered at Walt Disney World. The reason for spending time on the dining plans is that one of most common questions asked is whether the dining plan is worth it. To answer that question, I will look at the most common dining plan and that is the middle plan in which each guests gets one table service meal, one quick service meal, and two snacks per night of the stay. Each person also gets one refillable mug for the length of the stay. The cost of the meal plan for an adult is $75.49 per night.
For comparison, if a person ate at Chef Mickey's for brunch ($42) and ordered a mixed drink (approximately $8) the total would be $53.25 once tax is included. Then, if they went to Restaurantosaurus in Animal Kingdom and bought a chicken nugget plate (with fries) and purchased a soft drink the total would be $13.61 once tax is included. (Not all quick service locations serve alcohol, so I did not include that here--if you are at one, then the total would have been higher.) Lastly, if you were to purchase a pretzel at a cart your total would be $5.33 and if you were to purchase a scoop of Sorbet at L'Artisan Des Glaces in the French pavilion at EPCOT you would pay $4.99. Adding all of this up, your grand total for the day would be $77.18. That uses a brunch as a choice, if you were to have gone to Chef Mickey for dinner, then the daily total would be $8.50 more.
Bottom line, if you are planning to do a large number of character meals (especially dinners,) then the meal plan is worth it. Also, if you were to purchase an alcoholic beverage at a quick service location, that would also increase the amount spent for the day.
I hope this helps you in your planning for a Disney vacation.
Brian
PS: The sorbet is awesome.
