Which TS most savings with dining plan

[lucigo]

There is probably a thread for this somewhere but I can't seem to find it. We are considering adding dining for a couple of short trips for adults and really want to get our moneys worth while we dont' have the kids. Can someone please tell me which TS restaurants you recommend as getting the most bang for your buck by using the dining plan?

Thanks!!

I can, but I'd like to start out by pointing out that as long as you're saving money, the point of the dining plan is to eat where you want to eat, not to necessarily get the best "value" in entitlements. At least that's my perspective.

Last time I seriously ran the numbers, the answer was Tutto Italia for dinner.

Tagliata di Manzo ($36), Iced Tea ($4.50), Copetta Sotto Bosco ($14) = $54.50 ($58.04 after tax).

Thanks, I'm not so much interested in just spending as much (or saving as much) as I can but last time I called about prices I was told the dining plan saves up to 40% and I just wasn't seeing that as being the case.
