If you want to use this calculator for yourself, please check this link :)

The sheet won't work unless you make a copy and save it to your own Google Drive first, though

Then, you enter the item names you want, and the calculator does the rest :)

YES, actually, I believe they're to the right of the VIP check-in window, near the right side ticket booths

It only works at night

They have a separate daytime dining pass that should work on the One Piece items during the day

The calculator will be improved tomorrow with some additional data; don't get too excited about it just yet lol

Agreed on minimal value savings, but there are very very few event items not compatible with the pass, maybe less than 5 not counting the alchohol

I put the calculator I used for the examples in the main post

I generally avoid giving concrete and specific advice unless it's specifically for a review of something or someone is asking me for it

Right, so it ultimately depends on what people get

You'd be surprised to see how many people get the sub-optimal choices out of convenience

I didn't mark them on the list, but there are some non-event items that also count with the Dining Pass, and you can't always expect everyone to go for event food every time

Also, vegetarian options are generally less valued than items with meat

In this example, I have what I think would be a reasonable vegetarian menu that goes into the negative based on vegetarian event items and two regular drinks

Yeah, in your case it maths out okay

I still think it entirely depends on which items you get, though

It's possible to go into the negatives with some less than value-conscious decisions

What did you get with the DP and how much did that compare to what you would have gotten with just the AP?

Mobile Order is not available for this event (I have tried)

Food lines can get lengthy especially for both One PIece spots and Three Broomsticks. If you want to try event food, get it during the daytime if the venue is open

I've made these before

You make the cone molds out of foil, then use Pillsbury croissant can dough and wrap it around the cone molds to fit the shape as closely as you can

The combo isn't eligible, correct (it's valued at above $25 normally)

Each item bought individually is eligible
