INTERCOT Disney Dining Plan Estimator

This Estimator is intended to assist INTERCOTees make a better informed decision if the standard Disney Dining Plan is cost effective for them.

This Estimator provides INTERCOTees with two important figures:

1. A rough estimate of the percentage off the actual cost of food and beverage the plan would likely save them.

2. A normalized ratio between their estimated savings and how much extra they would likely pay for the plan.

The estimated percentage saved helps gives INTERCOTees an idea of how much they are likely to save with the plan.

The normalized ratio gives INTERCOTees an idea of the estimated value of the plan with regard to they “typical” food and beverage budget.

Please Note the following assumptions of the Estimator:

If the location serves breakfast, lunch and dinner; the Estimator assumes the INTERCOTee is dining there for Lunch and/or Dinner.

The “average meal cost” assigned to some Dining locations assume that INTERCOTees on the plan will gravitate towards the more expensive items on the menu.

Please Note if INTERCOTees anticipate that the Estimators assumptions do not pertain to them, the savings percentage will likely be marginally high for that party.
