Just got back from an 8 day trip and we had the free basic dining plan. We spend $92.10 on tips and we ate breakfast at CRT, Akershus, and Boatwrights and dinners at LTT, Ohana, Le Cellier and Tutto Italia, i'll do reviews of these in a seperate thread. Overall I was not very impressed with the food and dont think that free dining will get me to go back at that time of year again. This was our 2nd time on the dining plan and dont think I'll do it again because of being tied down to a schedule and the food not being all that great, it wasnt bad just not worth being tied down to a schedule and they really tood up a lot of time. Most of our meals were 1.5 hours and a few were close to 2 hours, it just seemed like we missed out on a lot of park time or even relaxing at the pool time because of meals. I think we may try the CS plan since that would allow a much more free schedule and there seemed to be plenty of CS places and a few places we tried were as good or close to it as the TS places. I thnk the CS plan with maybe 2 TS dinners would work out well for us. I'd be happy to answer any questions.
