We are planning a trip to go to disney this summer from june 15-23. I have always got the dining plan ever since I have started going to disney but after the big price increases to the plan this year I am seriously considering not getting it this year and just paying out of my pocket. We have 5 people going and the total for the whole length of the trip for the dining plan with tax would be right around $2200. I have priced out every resturaunte and thing that we have planned to eat plus breakfasts and it seems to be about $400 cheaper. I want to know if anyone has any thoughts on if this is the right thing to do or should we get the dining plan again. I feel that we can still eat very well and save money this way because always by the time we are done with our trips we are stuffed and dont even want to eat that much because of all the food with the dining plan. I have also included the price increases in the buffets for the peak season and I think that we can still eat well and have a good trip without the plan. I am just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on if I should go ahead and do it that way or not?
