2. Dinning Plans. While many argue it doesn’t save money, it does for us and we get the DxDP. We book Signature Dining and DH and I always tend to go for the most expensive dishes. I’ve done the cost comparison and it works - for us. Though if paying out of pocket I highly doubt we would book signature, add appetizers or desserts and we would probably be more cost conscious in our choices of entrees. Having the DxDP purchased and paid for in advance gives us the freedom to eat what we want (on vacation of course). And we love the convenience of it all being pre paid and not even having to think about the cost while on vacation because we’ve already gone through the sticker shock.
Are you really saving if you wouldn't have ate there or had that without the DDP? That's like when you go to the store intending to buy a $50 item and the store is running a sale for 30% off the nicer $100 version. Did you save $30 or did you spend an extra $20? Many would say you saved $30 because you got an item that would normally have cost $100. Personally, I think the latter. If not for the sale, you would have paid $50, so you spent $20 more than you intended. Now, if you have your heart set on something and can't afford it, but for the sale, then I would agree you saved.
