Dining Plan during Christmas

[jaulty]

We are heading to WDW the week before Christmas (Dec 19-26). Is it safe to assume that the prices at Table Service restaurants will be at their all-time high? I am thinking of getting the Dining Plan (1 QS + 1 TS + 1 Snack) for our stay since I "think" (I haven't run the numbers...see Q #1) it will save us money due to the higher prices during the holidays and I can't use TIW during that time due to blackouts. Does this make sense? Also, if I plan to go to a restaurant on Christmas Day where they have the special menu, can I use a dining credit(s) for that or would that be out of pocket? Please wise ones, guide me!!

have you checked out this thread? The first post has pricing. It's pretty accurate. Just remember it includes taxes.

That depends where you're eating. Only two of your 8 days are entirely blocked out, but there are some additional block out dates for certain restaurants.
