Concierge and Dining Plan
Was wondering if anyone thought if you stay in a concierge room, is the dining plan then overkill? Is concierge breakfast (bagels, muffins, coffee) kinda the same as a counter service breakfast? Any thoughts??

Re: Concierge and Dining Plan
I have no idea what the concierge breakfast buffet is, but the dining plan offers so much more. We used our CS for lunch and TS for dinner so I think it's still a great idea!

Re: Concierge and Dining Plan
I stayed in the Concierge level in the GF, the breakfast was GREAT, wonderful continental stuff, baked goods, cereal, fruit etc.
When I was there food was out all during the day, breakfast, then snacks, afternoon tea, wine and cheeses, then desserts and cordials. I'm not sure if it has changed. If dining is a priority for you, (it's not for us) then it may pay for you to get the dining plan. I only make one or two ADR's a trip because I like the flexibility, I would never eat all of the food offerred on the dining plan and I'm ok with most counter service places. |

Re: Concierge and Dining Plan
I wouldn't use the Dining Plan CS credits for breakfast. If you're looking for nice meals while on vacation, I'd opt for the Dining Plan.

Re: Concierge and Dining Plan
I think that you'd have wayyyyyy too much food with the dining plan and concierge.
The dining plan is great and there is plenty of food, don't think we could have eaten anything extra.
