DVCNews Debates: Dining

[quote="DVCNews"] [IMG]images/DVCNDebate.jpg[/IMG][I]With kitchens or kitchenettes in every [B]Disney Vacation Club [/B]villa and grocery delivery services ready to help members fill those kitchens, members are well equipped to dine in-room while staying at their Home Away from Home. But the wide variety of restaurants at [B]Walt Disney World [/B]and convenient Dining Plans provide tempting alternatives. [/I]

[quote="KNWVIKING 2.0"] We stay in studios. Our cooking consists of nuking Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches or toasting a bagel. Even if we stayed in a 1 bdrm, we would not cook. We do not like the new dining plan and TS menu prices have escaladed to a point where the DDE discount just gets you back to last years prices. We will CS in the parks but the majority of our TS are now off property. [/quote]

[quote="athenna"] We don't cook, either, even in 1 bedrooms...Our fridge usually just has bottled water and beer in it:rotfl2:Sometimes, depends on who I am travelling with, also, we do keep breakfast type stuff in the room, just so we aren't eating a full breakfast out every day. [/quote]

[quote="DVC Mike"] Dining out at nice TS restaurants is part of our WDW experience. We never cook in the room. The only thing we make in the kitchen is coffee. [/quote]

[quote="KNWVIKING 2.0"] Didn't catch the second half of the question: Without DVC we most likely would limit our trips to no more than once a year. I doubt I'd know the off-property world as well as I do now so would be less likely to wander out for a TS meal. DVC allows me much more time in WDW. While it makes my accomodations very affordable, I still pay for travel each trip & meals. In other words, without DVC I'll spend $X for a week in WDW. With DVC I'll spend $X+ to stay 33 days a year. Bottom line is that annually I probably spend more in WDW with DVC but also get much more time. With rapidly rising WDW TS prices, I can't afford a months worth of WDW TS. But I'm also not picky. I enjoy eating at Sizzler or CiCi's pizza and similar locations. I'm one of the few that think a Big Mac contains one serving of all the major food groups. [/quote]
