Does Disney Dining Plan save you any money?

[disneygirl1977k]

Hey everyone,
Just wondering about adding the dining plan onto my package.....it seems like a really good deal and it seems like it really would save you money, however, I would like some professional advice from you guys.....go for it or not?
Thanks,
Kristy :cool1:

Does anyone have a list of the restruants? Or are all table service ones included? We don't eat dessert everyday (especially if we have a sweet snack during the day). So I think with the free snack we would be getting a drink or popcorn. I haven't decided if it would work for us.

Here is a list (http://adisneyworld.disney.go.com/media/wdw/images2003/languagespecific/eng/nontheme/tickets/MYWDining.pdf) of the restaurants on the plan.

Here is a great thread on MYW dining (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=779120) from a few weeks ago. there is also a link to a review with examples of saving scenarios on post #2 of this thread.

We personal think it will be great and have heard lots of great things from people who have used it already. Hope this helps, have fun. :goodvibes

I sure think it will. 20% off meals including alchol. beverages at oodles of sit down restaurants. There will be 5 :grouphug: (possibley one more :wave2: )of us on a 2 week vacation. For only $50 it seemed like the right thing to do. :sunny:

Hi, FigmentGuy! I think the OP was talking about the MYW plus Dining package, at a cost of $35/day for 10 and over, and $10/day for ages 3-9. The Disney Dining Experience is what you are referring to- it is only available to AP holders and FL residents. It is a good deal, too, in my opinion.

For us, it seems like it will absolutely save $$$. Plus, we will be able to eat at some places we wouldn't normally try.

The Coronado restaurants aren't owned by Disney- it took some negotiation before they decided to participate. The brochure listing the participating restaurants hasn't been updated yet, but both Maya Grill (table svc) and Pepper Market (counter svc) were added on to MYW Dining as of February.
