What do you think about the dining plan?

I voted that I love it. I haven't actually used it yet, but I know that without it, there is no way we would be eating at some of the places that we will be!

We love it. We see it as eating dinner but getting a Cs and a snack for free. I do eat differently (I would never order eat of us a appertizer and I would usually forgo dessert) I dont look at the cost of foods. I order what I actually am in the mood for. Otherwise when we go out I dont want to spend that kind of money on a steak or prime rib so I would order chicken or a pasta dish. Not at WDW on the dining plan! Our DD calls it that all you can eat plan!

We love it. Its great to not worry about budgeting money for food. Plus it gives us a chance to eat at places we wouldn't normally get to eat. It makes going even more fun.

We LOVE it! We eat healthier and we enjoy ourselves. We go without children. We try so many new restaurants and meals. Plus you get an appetizer, an entree, a dessert and a non acholic drink. We RECOMMEND it to everyone we know that is even thinking about going. Did i mention that the tip and tax is usually included? You seriously cannot beat it. Unless you like a lot of fast food. Enjoy!

I was thinking about getting the dining plan added for our vacation in June.
After reading a lot on this subject (on the DIS) , it seems it would work out great for my family (of 5). I love the idea I can tell the kids to order whatever they want off the menu (as long as they are going to eat all of it). Thanks to all for the info. It really helped me make the decision to get it.

I voted for it. Even though, Ive never had it. I believe it was the main reason I will be going back a second time, less than a year. Woohoo!! Free Dining plan in Sept?? No brainer for me. (Even though, I only had 4 months to save up) I loooooove Disneyworld. It is a getaway from reality. Just Magical!! I really dont understand those who say it is so much food. Give me a break. Noone is forcing you to eat anything. You can skip any course you wish, I figured out, some people just like to complain, no matter what. As for me, I will gladly eat all three courses. Gluttoney you call it. Ok, call it whatever you must. I am now on a low cal, healthy diet. But watch out Disney when I get down there in Sept

We love it! I know that on vacation I many times feel guilty spending more money as we have already spent so much to go on vacation. DH says to get whatever I want but I look at chicken and steak and think the $4 difference will let me buy a small treat later. Irrational, but a way of life for me. Then I'm unhappy with the meal. With DDP, I get what I truly feel like with no guilt or worries. It's paid for before we go! Some days I only carry my room key to the park. Now THAT'S vacation!
