Can someone explain the Disneyland meal plan?

[SaraMc]

Hi there, DH and I are planning a trip to Disneyland for September. We have never been to Disneyland, but to WDW about 10 times. We know its going to be diffrent and we are excited to see it. We want to know, is the meal plan worth it? and how exactly does it work?

Thanks everyone!

It will not save you any money like WDW's dining plan can. In fact it can cost you money because they don't give change.

The only reason I used it once was I liked the idea of having that part of my trip pre paid for and not worring about budgeting it later( I was 21 and was having a hard time saving my money).

DLR meal plan=bad idea. Not a money saver, not a time saver, and you'll have cashiers probably looking like they're thinking "Drat, more vouchers. I hate those things." BTW, that's exactly what they are thinking. Get Disney Dollars (which are accepted everywhere in the parks and hotels) or buy Disney gift cards if you what to budget (gift cards not accepted at outdoor vending locations).
