When we went this past November, we (my "adult" aged 10 year old

) saved around $300. Having meals at Spoodles ($120) and Coral Reef ($90) certainly raised that number very quickly.
We're going back in December and there was no question that we would be on the dining plan again. Even if you don't end up saving money, I like not having to worry about the prices or budgeting for meals. It's kind of like a flexible spending account...you pay it off ahead of time and just withdraw later...only this is better because there's no employer cap
