I know this is something everyone feels differently about, but we were at Disney in September on the Dining plan and are going back in 3 weeks on the Dining Plan, I would not travel to Disney again without it. I think it's worth every penny, I got to try foods I would have never tried, but I'm also someone who never eats everything on my plate, there is always some left behind, so I did not feel guilty about their being too much food. Some of the restaurants we ate at that I HIGHLY recommend would be Le Cellier, Kona, 1900 Park Fare for dinner, 50's Prime Time Cafe and Breakfast in Norway with the Princesses if you have young girls. The only place I've eaten that I would not go back for dinner was Crystal Palace, I did not think the food was worth it. We are trying it for breakfast this trip though, so I'll let you know my feelings on that. The other restaurant we will be trying on this trip will be O'Hana for Breakfast. Good luck with your choices.
