thanks for the great info; very helpful. We are trying the dining plan for the first time (mainly because this is the first time that it's just the two of us!); neither of us are dessert eaters; we are more the appetizer types ... and our favs are the signature restaurants, so am thinking we will be better off, using TS credits for one of us and paying for the other and sharing the dessert. Still doing research, so would love to hear the opinion of others. Love all the info on these boards .... still remember the first time I went to WDW; had no idea there were books and now the internet .... wow! Love it!
