Ok, I haven't been on this site in ages, but booking a trip tonight. Already have the flights booked, so the dates are set for January 19-25th. Just the wife and I.
Here's my Dilemma. I've never stayed in a moderate before nor have I had a meal plan before.
Coronado Springs, 7 days hopper, no meal plan :$1,665
or
French Quarter, 7 days hopper, moderate meal plan (1 sit down, 1 quick service): $2,220
I figure without a meal plan, we'd probably spend around 3-400 for the week. We normally eat quickly in the parks without doing a restaurant type setting. That'd bring the Coronado Springs up to 2100 or maybe cheaper depending on how we eat for the week (which means we probably won't sit down and eat anywhere, that's just quick service)
I'm leaning more towards FQ for the one bus stop and location for everything. Theming doesn't really matter much to me, as I'm from New Orleans and the theming of FQ is what I see everyday (hoping that doesn't ruin the "Disney" feel for us). I have the FQ on reserve until tomorrow to pay it off, but now having second thoughts on spending that much.
On the other end of the spectrum, this might make us slow down and enjoy the meals that Disney has to offer, which we've never done before, so that might be nice. We've been to Disney A LOT (me especially, being ex WDWCP), but never really did the sit down places Disney offers.
Thoughts? Thanks
