✨Travel Tip Tuesday: Dining Plans✨
One of the questions I get asked the most is if I think getting a dining plan is worth the cost. While the convenience of having all of your meals prepaid for is absolutely AMAZING, I don’t believe I can give the same answer to every family. I often say it really depends on your family, what TYPES of food you eat, as well as how MUCH you eat.
Think about the following:
✨Do you and your family like to eat table service meals? If you know regardless of whether you purchase the dining plan or not that you will want to eat a sit down meal every day where you order an entree and a dessert, then the dining plan may be a good idea.
✨Are you and your family “expensive” eaters? If you’re likely to order a steak or something more pricey as opposed to chicken tenders every meal, then the dining plan may be worth it for your family.
✨Will you and your family eat at nicer restaurants while on your trip, or will you stick to mostly buffets? If you will mostly stick to buffets, the dining plan may not be best for you.
✨Do you like to try new, fun, and pricier snacks, or do you think you’d rather use your snack credits on water bottles and a fruit cup? If you’re not going to spend your credits on expensive snacks, the dining plan may not be a good fit for your family.
When deciding on whether to purchase the dining plan or not, think about your family’s personal needs and habits. In order to get your money’s worth, you want to make sure you eat more expensive foods throughout the day; HOWEVER, you DO NOT want to order the most expensive thing on the menu just to feel like purchasing the dining plan was worth it. You have to make sure you enjoy what you are eating as well 😊
I hope this helps you out!!
