Cancel dining plan?

Yes, you can. Though, if the Dining Plan was associated with any package discounts, the agent will remove the discounts. You may find that the cost comes out about the same.
Worth calling them though.
I didn't have any dining plan discounts. My dining plan cost was 1000$. I'm just crunching numbers. So far my adrs come out to 675$ and I added up the peak season costs. We are leaving next Sunday so I'm not sure if that is considered peak season or not.

Sorry we are one the plan that gets one table service, 1 qs, and one snack.
Most of our ADR's are breakfast. Including one at the castle.
No that's just our sit down meals. I just added up quick service and with our sit down adrs. It's bout 850 without snacks.

You may be charged change fees if you make changes to a package less than 45 days out. Keep that in mind when running your numbers, as you may have to pay to drop it.

Good point, I always forget about that.

Add a $50 or $65 fee (most likely $65 based on the timeline you've given) onto your dining costs. Factor in snacks too, cause you'll need drinks and fuel. By then, you're close to even.
Using TS credits on a lot of breakfasts makes the DDP less economical. Unfortunately that's the trap with character meals.

Well, I know if you book character meals and buffets and signature restaurants, then the DDP is truly worth it. But, for me it's not about the $, it's about the convenience of having a complete package!
That's what I was wondering. If there was a penalty?

I'd call to find out if there's a penalty, but if it were me- I'd cancel if there's no major fee. Ultimately, it all boils down to your dining style and it seems like your math has shown that you come out well ahead without it. We've done the regular DDP twice and found that it doesn't save us any $ based on the way we like to dine. Thankfully it was free both times, otherwise I would have been sick over the tons of unused QS and snack credits.
The 675$ is only our sit down meals. My 4yr old eats like a bird so that's why I'm considering canceling it bc we usually share meals. I did the math last night and I added up everything but our snacks and it came out to about 850$
