POR and free dining- should I change our reservation?

[BigRedDad]

It really depends on what you want out of your vacation. We loved POR resort. We will never go back without a car. When we have a car, we choose to stay offsite for the price of one night at a Deluxe. The Dining Plan is only of value if you map out the costs of everything. The two times we have had it, we found ourselves ordering the more expensive items simply to get our money's worth instead of what we wanted. It become laborious to figure out and the portions are so large we never use them all. Both times, we came home with 30+ Mickey Rice Krispy Treats simply because we had to use all the left over credits. That's a lot of money for $2 worth of Rice Krispy treats.

I stayed at POR in September and received the free dining package.

Oh we raided Main Street Bakery. Still a waste imo. Even more so after our Uber driver dropped our bag of goodies and they fell out of the plastic container.lol

Not so Uber after all. Agree with you on the waste. If I book dining 180 days out, I want it. My trip in November last year showed me that the time and trouble of setting up plans to coordinate Fast Passes and established dining was just too much pressure for a little old dear like me. Not going to do it again.
