PG-2 Complete Top Ten List of Why it is Okay to go to WDW without Free Dining!

[IluvXU]

I have to say- don't forget that everyone who is sad that they did not get the Free Dining for the days of their trip (my family included) that you are still going to the best place on Earth!

We are headed to the World on Monday August 13 through the 21st and can't wait to enjoy the World with our two

NOW I challenge my DIS friends to help me as we write the Top Ten Reasons why its okay to go without Free Dining!
10- We won't need all elastic banded clothes for our trip... because we won't be eating a dessert, dinner and appetizers
9- The parks will be empty--- everyone is traveling a few weeks later for free dining, are afraid of hurricanes or are already back in school


Please know that I am so happy for those who can travel and do this deal... (I am a teacher who starts back to school the 22nd... so we are going the last possible days we can already)I am just trying to remind people that everyone is planning trips to Disney and that we are lucky!

8. Better chance of getting the ADR's that we want.

7. Won't be buying many souveniers (which I really don't need) because I need my money to eat meals.

6. We will be getting closer to our loves ones due to sleeping in full size beds instead of queen size beds.

We downsized from a deluxe to a moderate resort.

If indeed there are less crowds... it would be so worth the extra $$$$ my family is spending!

3. Less crowded in restaurants. Might even get to see Tigger and Piglet at the CP this time without waiting 45 min. to 1 hr. after we're done eating...lol

2. We won't be spending hours and hours/days and days trying to figure out the best use of our credits so as not to "lose" the money we (didn't) pay for free dining!

# 1) I won't have to eat anything that has 'arugula' in it.

 

[jmpellet]

Love #2! Last year I did that exact thing -- obssessed over how to get the best of the plan -- even tho' it was free!

 

[WeRblam]

Number One Reason is you will have less competition for the YOMD stuff!

Some people love arugula -- I'm ot one of them though

Hey YOU took mine...

I did the Dining Plan for the first and ONLY time last August. OMG I have never eaten so much at Disney, it's just overkill. By day three the TEENAGERS with us were saying "please don't make us order all that food" And these kids do so many sports and dancing etc that they could eat anything and not gain......

So mine now is


"I won't be walking around the park miserable because I ate too much because it was FREE" LOL!

MY #1 reason to be happy that I'm not getting free dining - We'll finally get to see Sea World, Busch Gardens, the beach and all the other places in Orlando that we've never visited. Had we been able to get Free Dining, we would have "wasted" another week and a half at the Yacht Club. This way, we get to take a budget off-site trip, trying all kinds of new restaurants in Orlando and Tampa and save the extra cash for our piggy bank.

I just thought the word 'arugula' was funny.

I don't mind it at all. But the word is funny.
