You might be able to use your counter service credits in a snack location for fresh fruit and bottled water. If your sit down meals are pricey enough, Le Cellier or Ohana, as examples you may get your money's worth. I think you'll need to look through some sample menus (they can be found at allearsnet.com) and price out what you think you might order and compare the cost to the dining plan.

Originally Posted By bobbelee9 It sounds great if you do the expensive sit-downs, but not if you do the Castle or any other that require 2 tickets. So not for us this time because the grand children want breakfast at the castle, the men (and me) want the prime rib at the castle dinner. So that's 4 meals each for each of us.
