As always, the question is the pricing.

↩ replying to Tony the TiggerYou can bet the pricing will align with whatever the out of pocket costs would be for the most expensive menu items. So, let's say, $30pp or so.

Maybe this will help because it could cut down on transaction times? Or it will make it worse because of more people eating due to the simplicity of the plan?
Overall QS dining at MK has become a huge hassle. It is quite the annoyance to have a 10-15 minute wait for Pecos when one whole side of the registers that aren't being used.

↩ replying to Tony the TiggerYep needs to be under $30 to reprsent any savings. Even at $35 its only really possible to break even.
Assuming drinks are always $3.29.
Some entree examples (most expensive at each)
Foot-long Dog at Casey's $12.29
Chicken and pork combo at Cosmic Ray's $15.99
Grilled Salmon at Colombia House $13.99
So even if you pick two of those expensive entrees and two sodas its $36.56 so only a $1.56 saving if they charge $35.
Choose two salad entrees at $9.99 (Colombia HH) and $11.79 (Ray's) and bottled water your total is $27.78 so its a lot harder to get to make money.

Unless it saves you some decent amount of money (for example if the price is $23.99) what would be the point in buying this?

At least, that's what DDPers always shout at me.

I don't get it. Why would anyone buy this, if it's not a significant savings?
And if it is a significant savings, why would Disney offer it?
Makes no sense to me.

↩ replying to jakemanIt'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?

I don't see any convenience in purchasing this. You will have to stand in a lengthy line at Guest Relations to purchase tickets to eat later in the day. Unless you are saving a decent amount of money I wouldn't bother with this.

↩ replying to xdan0920For me it is about convenience. The convenience knowing that my meals are all paid for before I leave for my trip. This I don't get because it cuts that convenience out.

↩ replying to jakemanYou may be on to something here.

↩ replying to DisneyRoyThis is convenient for single day guests, or some such. Money is gone at 8a, instead of multiple times throughout the day. Hooray!

Though I think dining plans are a rip-off, too limiting, and more of a hassle that they're worth, I can still understand people wanting to use dining plans during their vacation because of convenience. 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? Plus the limited choice of restaurants and time constraints. What's the benefit?

My guess is $29.99 or $32.99 LOL ... it would have been nice if BOG was included.
