New single day quick service dining plan test to begin at the Magic Kingdom

[Wendy Pleakley]

It could also be an additional option that they would be able to offer as a freebie, instead of the full dining plan or other discounts.

Granted, they already are offering a single free meal per day with summer stays (https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/en_CA/special-offers/room-dine-delight-package/) but this would offer some additional flexibility.

Meanwhile at Busch Gardens an hour away you can book a daily meal plan on their app from $24.99 to $39.99 (depending on the season) that includes an entree, dessert and non-alcoholic drink once every hour PLUS has BOGO beer and snacks. And their food is amazing!

Anyone else surprised that Tommorowland Terrace is an option on this? In all my years I have gone in Jan/Feb it was never opened during that time of the year and was just being used for the Dessert Party and extra seating....

I'm actually in favor of this, as long as it doesn't have an outrageous price point where you don't save any money by purchasing it.

Just me guessing, but I think this is aimed at Annual Passholders and residents. Perhaps there could be an AP/FL Resident discount at some point, if it continues past its currently scheduled end-date?

But how is it convenient in any way to wait in line a guest relations in the morning in addition to waiting in lines at restaurants?

Maybe eventually you'll be able to buy it in advance or day of through the MDE app.

Quickservice dining plan is $46.74 pp
this is the same (1 entree 1 drink) minus 2 snacks and the refillable mug
Im guessing $34.99

This could be good, depending on the pricing. I am one that does the DDP (both QS or QS/TS). To me, it's about the budgeting beforehand and that I can get more of what I want. Every time i've used both, if I would have paid out of pocket, I would have paid a lot more.

Of course, without this including BOG or dessert, it makes me weary to try it (unless pricing is good...)

It's so aggravating when they have huge lines for food simply because they chose that minimally staffing locations is "good enough" for guests. We wouldn't like a single labor hour "wasted" would we?

Saw this at AK yesterday. One poor soul managing the register for Yak and Yeti walk up, at 12pm. And the park was packed.

the quick service dining plan for 2017 also does not include dessert

This is a good guess.

Disney isn't trying to help anyone out here. They are trying to separate guests customers from more money.

This way, for a family of 4. They get around $130 in upfront cash. No deciding you aren't that hungry and a turkey leg will do.

Also minus the desserts

 

[disney4life2008]

Unless this was no more than $30,there is no benefit. I am glad they make it clear about one single serve drink lol. I guess this is why they got rid of the large cup.

 

[ChrisM]

I think it should cost 5 cents.

 

[NeedMoreMickey]

I'd rather buy a gift card at home, order the food I want and if any money left over spend it on a snack or souvenir

Yeah, still annoyed that they got rid of the large cup. Because we all know that Disney isn't making any money off of fountain soda drinks...

Oh! I haven't done anything for 2017 (I'm only going for 1 day this year). I wonder if they added anything? (that's almost funny to say).

Be careful lol. There are some people here that would beg to differ. I don't care they removed it i do care that they aren't giving another option. I would gladly buy a $40 refillable mug if i could refill it as many times as i want.

Anyone remember the old DAK meal vouchers you could get when you bought a meal? They had coupons attached for a free popcorn and ice cream (I believe). Can't remember the price on those but I remember they were a great value.

 

[xdan0920]

I think we can all agree, that, like the regular DDP...This won't be a good deal. The price point will make it, at best, a break even proposition. At worst, you'll lose a few bucks or be forced to eat something you don't necessarily want, in order to get your monies worth. I think we can also agree that none of that will matter, and this will sell like hot cakes because of perceived convenience.

I remember! I also remember the DDP for 47 bucks a person and it included appetizer, meal and dessert.. and also the tip. There is no plan out there anymore that there is value in, IMO, except for TiW which in less then 4-5 days you can get your money back.. and the rest of the year is all savings.
