My problem with the dining plan!

[Philo]

I would prefer to be given a choice because like you, I am picky with deserts.

DP on the whole though is not something I would use. I've done the math several times and it just doesn't work out for us (two adults). I would need to eat till I'm uncomfortable to make it worth our while.

I think it would be cheaper for Disney as well. If not an app they could at least give the choice of a salad or a cup of soup!

I hate having to see the dining bill or carry money with me out to eat when on vacation, so I also agree.

When the dining plan was in its previous incarnation (with the tips and appetizer included), we very often did not look at the bill. The only times we did was when we ate somewhere super expensive and wanted to get a kick out of what we saved.

On the other hand, I can see the Disney Corporation's reasoning behind offering dessert and not appetizer because generally dessert is a smaller portion of food than the appetizer and often easier to make in large batches, meaning less labor, less food overal, and therefore saving Disney money.
