Here's our review of our meals on the dining plan. Some of them do not have the tax amount included as i was lousy at keeping track of it all! lol Anyway, here's where we ate and what we thought!

We all enjoyed this meal. Everyone cleaned their plates! The sandwich I had was very fresh tasting and my dh's salad was also very fresh. The dessert pizza was a great end to the meal.

Dinner at San Angel Inn
First of all, we had a PS for 1900 Park Fare, but completely lost track of time at Animal Kingdom so we missed it. We thought this sounded good, so gave it a try. We will never eat here again. Terrible service, out waited couldn't be found anytime we needed him. The food was just plain nasty!
Total $67.88 (no tax or tip added in) used 4 table service credits

Friday
We used all our leftover credits today, as it was an extra day we didn't have the dining plan added in for.
We used 11 snack credits-
4 popcorns- 10.36
1 bag of chips- 2.39
6 sodas- 12.00
Total $24.75

Lunch at Casey's Corner
Grand slam $3.89
2 Great americans $6.58
3 fries $5.67
2 brownies $4.58

Dinner at Pinnochios
2 bacon double cheeseburgers with fries
2 brownies

$23.78, used 2 counter service credits

So, from what i'm able to figure up, missing some tax and gratuity, we paid 90 a day x's 5 days which ='s $450. Our total would've been at least $679.09, a bit more with the missing taxes and gratuities. I would definately do the dining plan again in a heartbeat!
It's seems as if all the CM's have it figured out now. We had no problems what so ever
I'll be happy to answer any questions

Thanks for sharing. I have a have an 8 & 6 year old, both boys. WE are going next month and also staying at the POP and have the MYW dining. I am glad to see that it will pay off. We love Chef Mickey's and go there for breakfast and dinner on our trips. We have yet to have bad food. Too bad the time got away from you that you missed the 1900 Park Fare. I think you would have fared far better food wise.

How was the visit at the POP? Did you use ME? How long did it take to get to MK from the POP? Sorry for all the questions, but with our upcoming trip, I am trying to get some estimated times to finished up our planning. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. We are getting so excited to go.

I was so looking forward to 1900 Park Fare, it was such a bummer when we realized we wouldn't be able to get there.
We loved Pop! We didn't use ME, we actually drove from Missouri. It really didn't seem to take too long to get to MK using Disneys transportation. Maybe 10-15 minutes. The busses were always quite crowded though on the way back from MK. They will cram as many people as they can on those busses!! We actually drove to MK on our last day, and even though we had to park at the transportation center and catch the boat to MK, it seemed to be a bit quicker than the bus.
