Would you do a dining plan?

What would you do?
We are staying club level, from Oct 2-7. Our travel agent quoted us at $750 for regular dining plan, for 4 (kids are 7 & 4 and not great eaters). We are doing Cinderella's Royal Table for dinner and Akershus for lunch. We have other reservations at various TS restaurants. Dining calculators estimate $425 just for the 2 princess meals (this includes tip at Akershus). Do you think it's easy to spend around or over $325 for the rest of the week? Or do you think we'd be better off cancelling the plan, knowing the kids would prefer to eat snacks from the Club lounge, and getting a bit more flexibility in what we'd prefer at a restaurant?

What other TS restaurants do you have booked? Will the snacks for CL be enough food for your kids? Will that be enough food for you?

I also have BOG and Biergarten booked for dinner. That uses our 5 credits. I think the snacks would definitely be enough for my daughter, and she'd probably ask for a salad at dinner. My son is picky about everything- so who knows when and what he'll choose to eat (in most cases a cheeseburger). If I have appetizers at the lounge, I could probably skip an entree and do an appetizer, salad, and booze. My H would definitely get an entree. I think I'm probably picking this to death, when the cost between going with or without is negligible.

I would not bother with the dining plan with club level.

No, I would not do a dining plan. CRT is a terrible use of dining plan credits.

Nope. I'd also never use 2 sit down credits for one meal.
