Some ask why it would not make sense for anyone not to purchase the Plus package. Here is why for us personally, it does not work to our advantage....Cost of package for 7 days is approx $840 additional. If you back out the cost of items we would "use" (wifi, grats, 2 Casual Dinings, Medallion shipping), it leaves around $450 to spend on drinks to break even (5 - $13 drinks a day). We have maybe 2 drinks a day, if that, and do not get specialty coffee, juice, water, etc. We are good with what the MDR or buffet serves, so for us, we pay as go and it has always been cheaper. I understand for most this may not be the case, but it is for some. That is what I love about having the choice. No one answer is right, each person gets to choose.
