Coming from the United Kingdom , our Disney vacations are usually 2 weeks long (as the plane fare is so expensive it is worth our while to visit less times but for a longer duration during our trip). With 3 adults in or party, our food bill at the end of our vacation could almost be the price of an additional member of our family.
On our last trip in 2013 we were lucky enough to receive the Disney Dining Plan (counter service) free when we purchased our vacation & I tried to plan our meals to get the most out of the deal. As two meals & one snack were included per day - members of our family shared some meals (in places we knew the portions were enormous) to make the credits stretch to as many meals as possible - as well as booking a handful of our favorite table service meals for a couple of evening meals during our stay & using snack credits on ice cream sundae's rather than bottled or soda drinks.
Breakfasts seemed to be the exception to our vacation, with some CM unclear what was included as well as some breakfasts that weren't worth using our credits for (as they are more valuable at dinner & lunch mealtimes).
I was just wondering how other people use their credits, what restaurants use your credits better & how would you recommend using them to people who haven't used the Disney Dining Plan.
