Hi Everyone
First post on the new thread and I will admit that I haven't read everything.
We have done the free dining every year that they have offered it and like the dining plan -- although I have to admit that before I liked it more since it included an appetizer and the tips. We like to eat and our goal at this point is to eat at least one meal in every restaurant at WDW. We are getting there and that probably would not have been possible without the dining plan. What I liked about the old plan that included the appetizer is that I could try something that I normally would never have ordered and not feel totally bad if I didn't like it. I like the fact that I can get a dessert too and only take one bite -- since I'm diabetic and shouldn't eat any of the desserts that I like it's easier to take one bite and not feel bad because I've just spent like $7 for one bite.
The dining plan is a good deal if you have kids too -- we took my niece and two oldest nephews to WDW in Dec and I was amazed that the dining plan cost $10/day for each of them and yet a sit down dinner could be $13.99. Had never really looked at it before because we don't have young kids but if you do I'd get the plan in the minute.
Sitting at work debating what to do next. Nothing is appealing though.
