It's not something I would do every trip, but something I'd consider once in a while.

That's how I was thinking of it. The deluxe plan will allow me to eat at the signature places...I can't eat all that food either..lol

Ignore my last response. I just was rereading and realized the question was about the DELUXE plan. I think this is a good value. But definitely not something i would use on all trips.

the regular plan is too expensive for what it is- its not worth anything -
the deluxe is nice but too much time in sitdown restraunts in order to get your $$ worth - its about 6 hours out of your day to do that- plus snacks.

Well now, you know by now we are the Foodies, and while considering the new Deluxe plan, it is a lot of food. It is probably something we would have to think about and determine if it would be right depending on the trip. If it were a short trip, probably not. A longer trip, like our last, it would have been perfect.

If DH an I are alone, I might consider it. I would probably do early morning character breakfasts to get in the park early, no lunch, just a snack and then use my credits for all the signature restaurants for dinner!

That would work for us.

Again, I would have to play it trip by trip. Ohhh, if that were my biggest dilemma.

Yowza, that's a lot of food. And waaayyyy more than we would ever spend on food for one day! We have found that we actually eat less when we're at WDW. We don't think that much about food and when we do, we eat. But it's not three meals/day!

I just think it's too much food. It's still a value, but for a long stay, it's just way too much eating!! Maybe if Stu and I took an extended weekend trip we'd do it because we'd hit the signature restaurants.
