We did the free dining this past trip and will buy it every trip from now on.Actually left disney and felt like i got some of my money back from the previous trips lol.Its not that you save a whole lot we usually spend around $200 a day for food thats for 6 of us.I think it worked out to $206 for the dining plan but the convenice of making your ADR and having it paid for.Actually for this last trip in oct we where suppose to be there from the 15-22 and when free dining came out we moved are dates to oct 3-10 and got almost $1500 credit back on the credit card.So if they do it again i would take advantage of it again.And disney got the credit back my wife spent it in the gift shops lol.
