New Quick Service Dining Plan option????? About This Page:

[WDWfan]

On the Virgin Atlantic site they're offering UK passengers a new dining option effective January 11, 2009 and beyond.

Walt Disney World Resort Tickets and Prices - - Virgin Holidays

It's part way down the page.

They're calling it Disney's Quick Service Dining Plan and it includes 2 CS meals, 2 snacks and a resort mug.

I wonder if this is going to be part of the 2009 packages for all visitors - or if it's just for the UK?

I read that, too. Maybe a sign of things to come down the road for everyone?

What's the most interesting, if I am doing the currency conversions correctly, it is almost the same price as the Basic.

So if this is the way things are going, the current DP (1 snack, 1 CS and 1TS)will be the middle of the road plan everyone was saying should exist. I still like the idea of one sit down and one CS per day for us though.

hmmm... guess they're trying to snag the people who don't like to take time out of their touring for a sit-down meal.

I'd still rather do the regular DDP. (Just my personal preference and touring style.)

If it is the same price as the basic DP, I would not be interested.

Perhaps that will appeal to some people. Personally, I need one sit down meal per day. I will be interested to see how it all plays out, though.

Historically, whatever has been offered in the UK ends up being implemented across the board. I recall that the first sniff we had of last year's DDP changes came from the Virgin brochure.

By the way, well spotted Lesley!

I have to admit that I saw a reference to it on another board and went looking.

I'm another one that probably won't use this - the DDP and the DDDP are more my style - but if I were to go during F&WF where I like to eat my way around the booths at WS it might be tempting depending on the price in US dollars. I also could see using this in conjunction with the DDE for a few TS meals thrown in.

We'll have to see what the new packages contain when they are announced.

I was going to say exactly the same thing. The British market usually gets things first, as they're already trying to sell us holidays for summer / autumn 2009. I know a lot of new brochures are on their way out over here at the moment. I suspect this will be introduced generally at Disney next year.

Now that I could go for

I'm w/ Marnie. That's a plan for me! Two quick meals and two snacks is pretty much what I eat during a typical Disney day. We only did one sit down meal last trip and have only one planned for our next trip.

I hope this comes our way!

It sounds like a good plan. If it works out to be cheaper than that Basic Dining Plan. Although, I do have to say, that the current basic DDP is a great way for us to eat at restaurants we never would have done on our own because of the cost.

[lukeandbrookesmom]

We'd still do the Basic DDP but I can see how this new plan would appeal to a lot of people!!

I'm one that hopes this doesn't take the place of the generic dining plan that's out there-as I'm a big fan. One sit down & one quick service is perfect for my clan.......and if Disney screws around with that and takes it away, I will be very as they've made alot of (IMO) bad decisions recently with closing places (entertainment and eateries).
