THE MOST EXPENSIVE FOOD IN DISNEY'S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS- Disney Dining Plan

[@drdata1967]

Kristen, I just wanted to let you know that a few months ago I lost half my family to a horrible accident. Watching your videos has been something that I've really enjoyed and has helped me get through some tough days. I wish you had more good meals though.

[@MygirlsGJPB]

I'm so sorry I lost both my mother and father this year, so 24 has been shit for me too, although mine was not a shock like yours must have been. I like you am enjoying watching Kristin have fun at the parks especially the videos with her friends - you can really tell they enjoy spending time together. I pray for your healing and hope 25 is better for us both.

[@rebelalliance77]

I really like Woody’s Lunchbox but I don’t eat there very often because of the seating. I agree, it’s stressful!

[@ellieplanit]

Same! Like I understand trying to make the area look cute. But honestly I’d give up some of the aesthetic just to even get some extra folding tables and chairs or something over there.

[@christinenapoli5106]

You missed the earthquake of the century here in NJ! Happy eating! 😊

[@jkhegarty857]

Yeah, I felt it in NYC, too!

[@kathypaltan1428]

We felt it here in southern NH

[@MJD123]

Yes!! We live in NJ, about 40 minutes from where the center was. But we’re out of town so didn’t feel it! Hoping we don’t get home to any damage. 🤞

[@SandraLovesSun]

yep we did 10:00 am or so@@kathypaltan1428

[@WildNaturebyElizabeth]

Yes! On Long Island! Once in a lifetime for us!! ❤❤❤

[@SharonMorgan-gb9qe]

Disney definitely needs for seating areas in many of their quick service restaurants, especially Woody’s Lunchbox and Casey’s Corner in MK. 😊

[@MegsD15]

I’m cracking up about your anxiety about the whole table thing because SAME! I literally laughed out loud with the man flying out of his scooter putting the cane on the table. People at Disney are savages 😂

[@ellieplanit]

I love the idea of a video showing how to best take advantage of the dining plan. What would be super helpful to see is how much value you CAN get out of the dining plan if you’re being strategic throughout the day VS how much money you save/lose on the dining plan if you just spend the day eating what you want

[@carsonleahaselden]

Died laughing when you were talking about the man in his ECV making sure he got your table at woody's lunch box! It's wild out there trying to get a table or when you are leaving a table. Stay safe! 🤣

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

I lived to tell the tale. Just goes to show how badly they need more tables over there

[@LindseyCook-lc3tx]

*Dramatic cut* "Well, what I thought would happen was actually....worse" LOL, girl. 🤣🤣😭😭 I'm dying.

[@hyperorbit]

You are killing it lately. ❤

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Thank you!

[@mliving111]

You have to game the dining plan to make it worth it. Character meals make it 100% worth it and partaking in the alcohol takes it even higher.

[@katcalico9142]

lol, I had a financially irresponsible day. Disney prices actually aren’t bad compared to where I live. 😂 Granted today was an abnormally expensive day for me. I went with my friend for her oral surgery and rather than wait at the office I had much upscale French Bistro next door and spent $75 on shrimp cocktail and 2 glasses of wine (we ubered). And I just paid $45 to doordash a chicken paillard with mista salad. It was a very long week. 😂😂🤣

[@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides]

OMG I was just thinking, "I wish I could make some more poor financial decisions." and then I clicked on this video! Perfect. ;-)

[@Artuitus]

the only way to really make the qs meals pay is to order alcohol with every meal. That bumps up the total and you can come out even or slightly ahead. Character meals that take 1 credit are good value for your table service meals and adding a cocktail puts you up for the day-but that's a LOT of food and requires a lot of time.

[@laurapalmieri1711]

My husband and I did the dining plan on our last trip. It took a lot of planning on my part, but I beat Disney by over $200. It would have been more but we had so many qs credits left that we pivoted and ate at a signature restaurant. Had we not done that, probably would have been closer to $400. I enjoy the planning so that was not a chore for me. However if you don’t like planning and you don’t drink alcohol, imho it would be very difficult to “get your moneys worth”. I tried very hard to balance value, but not feel obligated to eat things we didn’t want I was probably 90% successful, but I did feel obligated to have a Bloody Mary in a can at any qs breakfast, which is not usually the way I roll. I will say those cocktails in a can are pretty darn good lol😂

[@hairdresser1300]

nice!

[@Miche353]

Correct, momma wants some POG gelato! Love the Cuban at Backlot, but I would split that pulled pork burger too.

[@hlinfl9513]

LOL... those pickles- one ...😂

[@anddc410]

Awesome video! I lol’d with when you mentioned the person with the cane on the table. I could see the play by play in my head. 😂

[@MagicWishingStarr]

This video was so good! I didn't see that you made it for the other parks. We're going in a month and it was very helpful.

[@Gkittymyu200]

I agree with your assessment of dining plan being worth it

[@Tinable]

I'm headed to the parks in November and will be a family of 5. We will be using the dining plan. I think it'll be worth it for us. Making reservations for O'Hana and Art Smith's but that is all. I think it'll be worth it for us.

[@jen_dinsmo]

Great video!! Definitely laughed out loud when you talked about the ECV man, lol 😆

[@thecoolestdad]

We have the dining plan for our upcoming trip in September. My daughter is a travel agent and she found that adding the dining plan for three of us wasn't that bad in cost. We are staying in two rooms at All Star Music. We don't do sit down meals because they take too long, so quick service is fine with us. I feel that in some cases, the dining plan is worth paying a little extra for. It is exceptionally good when you get it for free. We have had the dining plan for free before. Yes we get what we want, but we try try to choose from the most expensive choices available.

[@traceyhill7784]

Thanks for the information. We purchased the quick service dining for our trip for this year. We are an older couple and we like a table service meal most days, so we are 'splitting ' the plan with our adult daughter and husband. That way we help them out but get to prepay well in advance. So looking forward to snacking round the world at epcot though 😊

[@alicialerickson]

The pot roast mac n cheese was unmissable. So good !!!

[@maripeti4036]

Always ask, pickles are cheap costo! Not eating there either! Ty for being so honest. Place is really gone down hill in the two years we've been to the Parks, even more! ;(

[@MJD123]

Kristen has been Marked “Safe” from the “Man in the ECV with a Cane” 🙏

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

😂😂😂

[@juliecantweight5822]

Loved this! Hoping for more at the other parks or table service restaurants!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

What park should I do next?

[@HannahBirzes]

Dude your videos are so good!!!

[@emceenyc1120]

“Backlot” is my family’s go to quick service. Looking to try Mama Melrose’s NEW menu. Love your videos!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Sneak Peek: the new menu is a massive improvement

[@paulingalls2133]

your face (reaction) is awesome

[@sarahcrowe8283]

PICKLES MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER! If that's not a potential slogan for your eventual merch range, I don't know what is, and I'm here for it 😂

[@SuzanneA618]

Love the food at Docking Bay 7❤🎉 Great video💖

[@flesh4lulu475]

I got the free quick service ddp and paid for the upgrade to the regular ddp. So for that price, the ddp makes sense for us, plus to have the convenience of having our meals paid for before we go.

[@brodieellis2545]

Please do the dining plan video!

[@Rachel-xu4br]

I feel you on that table situation. The thing that sucks about doing stuff on your own at Disney I noticed is that people act savage af if you're alone (and sometimes I wonder if it's because I'm a girl too) especially in those bottleneck situations in queues. People can seem so forceful yet pretend you don't exist at the same time. It's weird.

[@GraceKelly-ni5jp]

I go alone every year have no problem with people at all

[@Rachel-xu4br]

@@GraceKelly-ni5jp cool, must be nice.

[@SandraLovesSun]

You are very funny on this one!

[@SimbaOne1]

I got the brisket sandwich last month and im not a pickle person and I didnt realize there were pickles on it.. so it was a surprise when I took a bite and actually liked it. Its so funny your reviews are almost always the same as my opinion. 21:40

[@SimbaOne1]

Idk why it time stamped.. It wont go away lol

[@lindaosborn2137]

I’ve never eaten at docking bay 7. I always want the ronto wrap. But looks good might have to try it next week.

[@mliving111]

Ronto wrap is available at ronto roasters until about 3 pm then I tmoces inside to Docking Bay 7

[@rsanchez113]

Currently on the treadmill CRAVING that Woodys lunchbox grilled cheese 😭😭

[@heatherrenee2426]

I’m with you!!! Soooo miss that pot roast mac & cheese 😩

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

You're the only one in the comments who remembers!! It was so good, ugh I miss it

[@ArthurSilva-hj2eh]

Dining Plan never going to cost effective but sometimes it’s nice to know meal cost already accounted for. Like EVERYTHING at WDW you’re going to pay too much for everything so meal plan no different. A WDW vacation causes you throw any semblance of wise financial choices “wright” out the window

[@beckieh3425]

Love your videos! You have interesting twists with your topics. A lot of dining plan videos are “beat the plan” but when we come we don’t eat like that. I would like to see “average” meals and compare with value of the plan. I know eating at ohana with a $25 drink will beat the plan but what about more realistic meals?

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

If you're going the realistic route you would lose a lot of money on the dining plan. That's why I feel like its really not worth it. I would feel like I'd have to go to the most expensive places and order a steak with the most expensive drink even though that may not be what I actually want.

[@CarolMortensen-e2b]

As a vegetarian, I can say that it's been my experience that if a veggie burger resembles a well formed hockey puck ( as did the burger), it is not going to be good. Love your videos. Thank you.

[@Dlh6510]

Promise did a video on Momma Melroses the other day and, just saying , they have upped their game.

[@lindawinchester6218]

Loved this video ❤

[@jenny71WDW]

ughhh wish you got the pork carnitas tacos!!! darnnnnn

[@TheKiki0110]

In your opinion which is better pineapple dole whip or Pog gelato?

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Not a fan of pineapple dole whip, POG gelato all the way

[@SabrinaStanley-l4i]

Good Video. Pickels are not that good but that is my opion.

[@katd1026]

3 Sliced of pepperoni on Long Island cost me 17.00 today so 16 for a burger is a deal lol

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Wow thats crazy! Back when I still lived in NJ a slice was like $1.50

[@laurapalmieri1711]

I just said to my husband that we are lucky to get a hamburger for $20 on Long Island, so $16 at Disney is a steal lol😂

[@JillVoliva]

lol @ the cane guy

[@ginalola6354]

California burger means lettuce and tomato.

[@AngieMagz]

LMAO what was that crazy noise at the end?!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

It was the horn from the Dockside Diner boat 😅

[@toddcribbs6844]

Now you know how I felt when I was an annual passholder

[@Marylynnsauro]

Thhat plant based burger looked disgusting. Please do a dining plan video. I also don’t think it’s worth it but my brother wants to do it in June!

[@happilyeverdevines1225]

Being a travel agent and going to Disney myself as a annual pass holder, dvc member the dining plan is not worth it before I became a dvc member and ap holder we did the dining plan it was so stressful trying to think okay how much is this meal and if we don’t get an alcoholic beverage etc idk I rather pay as I go or I tell my clients do like a gift card for food and each month get $100 one until you go away

[@MJD123]

Yup! We just buy discounted gift cards a little at a time until the trip, and then eat whatever, whenever 🤣 even when we had “free dining” one trip it was too stressful to keep track of the credits and whatnot.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

I like the gift card idea! I know if I got the dining plan I would be the same way, kinda forcing myself to eat things I don't want.

[@annettejordan436]

Gotta purchase alcohol beverages to make back your dining plan investment

[@manda.pandamonium]

Getting a table before we finished eating at Woody’s was our greatest achievement 🥲

[@Just_Nita-i2q]

The beef is new as of January and without the sauce takes like onion powder way too much onion powder Stringy and dry I used to love it but it was terrible on Wednesday yuk Why is the food always less than mid in HS? Yuk gonna give mamas a try

[@WhosPiper]

The size of the bite taken on that burger! I was like o no she’s going to spit it out… because I did that same exact thing and ended up spitting it out 😂

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Yeah I was very close to doing that😅

[@laurenknopf]

the camera quality >>>>>

[@michellem5853]

If I was doing the free dinning plan, I WOULD NOT be eating at ABC Commissary. I would be going to Mama Melrose, 50’s Prime Time or Brown Derby at Hollywood Studious before anything.

[@hairdresser1300]

One is a quick serve the others are not

[@moonbeammama22]

As for Disney and plant based burgers.. the worst one I ever had was in 2019 at Sassagoula Floatworks at French Quarter. They had a promising Beignet veggie burger. It was absolutely horrible. Not because of the beignet...it was just nasty the patty itself. I had to throw it out. I've been leary of plant based burgers in Disney ever since.

[@KingBobAIC]

At least ECV man didn’t try to hit on you

[@bobbarrett7748]

That burger looked horrific. Wow that is terrible

[@BryanH63]

Ewww HATE pickles!

[@toddcribbs6844]

That impossible meat is not vegan
