CRT seems to look like a pretty good bang for your buck. We have eaten at chef mickeys before and liked it..

I wouldn't worry so much about getting the most bang from the buck as where you would like to eat and what's the most fun. DH is insisting on Beaches & Cream because he loves it, definitely not the best deal in the parks but he loves it! DD wants SciFi and Chef Mickey's! I want LeCellier! So I fiqure it's still a good deal and we're going to the places we like.

I so agree with CeeCee, I think the free dining is different from the vouchers... even if all I get for a snack is the water, I'll still be getting my bang for my buck!! I cannot imagine eating a counter service meal every day, when with the old vouchers dh, dd and I shared ONE voucher, and it was enough!! Now I'm doing tab le service meals for dinner!!! I know buffets are around $21 - $25 for adults, and the Dining plan is $35 per adult... so I'm not going to obsess, I'm not going to obsess, I'm not going to obsess.... I'm going to eat at all the buffets character meals I want too, and never would have because 3 - 5 character buffets is not cost effective!!

Good luck, just read your books, read the menus at allearsnet, and enjoy!!

To get more bang for your buck, you might try eating a late lunch, as most of the restaurant's prices go up for dinner. Then have counter service for dinner...

Just an idea!
