Total "spent" $879.93
Face value of "free dining" $630.00
Total "savings" $249.93

Some of the costs of meal may be a few dollors short due to menu price inflation.

Overall it allowed us to eat better than if we hadn't and we were able to stretch it out. It was not too much food since we had the full last day with a flight at 9:30 p.m.

On a side note, an off duty CM told us that many people were unhappy because of the inconsistent rules. She worked in the Main Street Bakery and folks often did not understand that many food courts were allowing more snacks and cs items than at the parks.

Good info! Thanks for crunching the numbers for us. It helps, even if you have to pay for the dining plan.
