Our trip was December 28, 2018 through January 7, 2019. We drove from Joliet, IL to Ocala for the night then on to All Star Movies for four nights, Hard Rock Hotel for three nights, All Star Music for one night, and a Hampton Inn in Chattanooga. There are four of us...me (48), Cary (45), Tyler (20), and Skyler (14).
We love the Deluxe Dining Plan but have not had a plan in the last three trips...including this one. so in the last few trips we have kept track of our out of pocket costs to compare to the dining plan cost. I will do the same here. This is the shortest trip we have taken and it was a difficult one to plan because of the length. Eating is part of the vacation for us so we still tried to hit a lot of great food.
The first night we stayed at a bad LaQuinta Inn in Ocala, got in later than we expected to due to multiple issues in traffic from Atlanta down.
We had planned to run out for something to eat...but being so late and not wanting to move the car in fear of losing our three block away spot to a six block away one, we were limited in our options. We didn't want pizza. So the closest place that was still open was El Toreo. Cary and Tyler walked over and got us food. Unfortunatly I did not take pictures or keep the receipt...either too tired, too upset, or too hungry...so I'm winging it.
Skye got a Cheese Quesidilla Dinner...with lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo on the side. It also came with beans and rice ($9.95).
Ty got the Three Steak Tacos... with flour shells, lettuce, and cheese,,,and rice and beans ($11.95).
Cary got the Three Beef Enchilada Dinner...with rice and beans ($11.45).
I got the Burrito Supremo...with steak, beans, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, and tomato ($7.95).
We had three soft drinks and an Horchata to drink because we had not lugged anything from the car to drink. Our total was around $57.00.
I all came with chips and salsa that were good scooping up the kids' beans. They, of course, don't eat beans. Everything was good...or we were really hungry. We scarfed it all down in bed and then passed out.
Dining total : $57.00
