Once again, it depends on the family. It obviously doesn't work for your family and the way you prefer to eat. It works for others and the way they prefer to eat. They may prefer to only eat at the most expensive restaurants and/or order the most expensive meals. You can't just make a blanket statement that it isn't worth the money.I guess we are a family of 4. 2 adults 2 kids one of which is 10 so have to pay adult prices! When the plan first came out in 05 it was def worth it only 37.99 for adult 10 for kid included app entree and dessert and it also included tip. Now at 55 a day for adult and 18 for kids I def don't think it's worth it!! You should run the numbers chances are you will save money!
I can say, I think the dining plan would be better if they offered a salad or a sour OR a dessert. Most people I know would rather not have the dessert!!
I think a lot of us would love it if it was changed to appy instead of dessert. But it won't happen for one simple reason: desserts are usually cheaper to produce than appys. And since we prefer appys over desserts, and since I'd rather have a glass of wine at dinner instead of a soda, we don't do the DDP (free or paid). Much happier with a room only discount.
