Dining Plan questions

[lcsrig]

We are looking into the dining plan package. It will cost our family of 3 about $70 a day, which is what we budget anyway.

Here are my questions:
1. Is it like a meal ticket that only has so much money budgeted for your stay?

2. Is there a limited menu at the restaraunts that you can only purchase certain things?

We figure this to be a great deal if the answers are 'no'!! A quick breakfast, nice table lunch then counter service. Thanks for your help. It is greatly appreciated!

For the table service you get either a buffet with non alcoholic drink or an appetizer, entree and dessert and non alcoholic drink. You just order off the regular menu and you are not limited by cost.

You could use your "snack" to obtain a baked good (like a muffin, danish or cinnamon roll) for breakfast, have a decent counter service lunch and then a nice sit down dinner and the only food cost would be a few additional drinks (or alcohol if that is your thing ).

P.S. it is on your Keys to the Kingdom card, so it is not a voucher or individual ticket.

Pam from kingdom konsultants sent me a list and i am more than impressed. Its very hard to make this deal not work out for you. You really have to order the cheapest things on the menu every time you eat and still you break even. I cant see it being $35 a day forever it has to be something to get people hooked since we can easily drop 35 a person in one meal at some places.
