They increased DP cost!!

nancyk · 09-02-2006

I just heard that Disney increased the cost of the dining plan from 30-something per day up to 45.00 per day for each adult on the plan. This seems like quite an increase to me. It will certainly make me look closely at what the total cost per day will be for the restaurants that we chose to eat at.

Where did you hear that??? Glad my trip is already on deposit.

iluvwdw · 09-02-2006

OMG! My trip is already booked, but with DVC points...I have to pay for DDP when I get there!

Where did you hear about this increase? When will it go into effect?????

alicefan · 09-02-2006

If we did a buffet and a CS per day I don't see how this is such a great bargain for us considering we would never get a dessert with our CS or even a drink for the matter - we prefer water. AND, I don't even like doing a TS EVERY day of my trip - too much of an obligation. Unless we planned on doing all Signature meals I doubt we will be doing the DP again. JMHO

Ugh, this really stinks. I want to CONFIRM THIS RUMOR!!!!!!! How much will it be for kids??

Paula, I don't think it would be worth it if you do a buffet and CS every day. I think you would have to do a BIG sit down dinner every day to make it REALLY worth it.

iluvwdw · 09-02-2006

OK, as of today it is NOT increased yet! I just checked it out on ALLEARSNET.com and there is NO word of this happening. They do have 2007 DETAILS OF THE DINING PLAN on the site, and the price has not changed. So...makes me wonder how true this rumor really is!

nancyk · 09-02-2006

Hi guys, I got the info from a friend who will be going in Feb or march of 2007, & she was told this by her travel agent. Sorry I was off-line for a couple of hours. I would also like to confirm, I think I may call Disney & get the info straight from the horse's mouth. I truly hope my info is WRONG!! I will let you know.

PrincessPooh · 09-02-2006

I really wonder...usually the other sites have flash news that comes up with these big changes.

And that is a pretty steep increase all at once.

nancyk · 09-02-2006

OK, I think I've figured this out... I just got off the with Disney & the cost is going up for next year but apparently not by the great amount that I thought. First you should know that when we went last Feb/ 2006, we had paid 34.00 per adult. I did not realize there was already an increase to the current 37.00/ day. It is going up to 38.00 /day per adult. I think that MAYBE my friend's travel agent told her the conversion amount taking into account that we are Canadian. To me that still doesn't make sense because the dollar is so close to "par" right now. Anyhow, it's really not that bad after all, I just wanted to apologize for causing such concern. I'm REALLY sorry guys. I also forgot to ask about the increase for the kids plan. Hope you can forgive me.

rshenry · 09-02-2006

Ok, I can breathe now...

iluvwdw · 09-02-2006

OK, I can breathe now, too! *WHEW* Thank GOODNESS!

nancyk · 09-03-2006

Again, I'm really sorry for the mix-up, I was freaking too!
