Oh how I hate reading all these dining threads, as I'm really green with envy. This year we are going to DL, and they don't have free dining.
Anyway we had the free dining plan last summer and we too didn't have enough TS credits. I'm an avid planner and made ADR's for all the resturants, at the 190 day window (this has now changed I think). Once we got there, we phoned Disney dining and changed a few quite easily to fit into our plans.
If we went to Disney again and I could afford to stay on site, I would definately pay for this, although free is much better.
We ate mainly at buffet type places and had loads of character meals, as I have a young DS. This was the best for us, as there was something for everyone.
So I would go for it. I worked out that the meals would have cost us around £850.00. If we were paying cash, we would never had eaten on site as much, and it would have been TFG's for tea and dare i say it McDonalds for lunch for the boys. I hate McDonalds.
Normally I plan to spend around 400.00 on food for 2 weeks, and that usually includes 1 meal at chef Mickey's and 1 meal at Boma's and another character meal. So for us because it was free, it was a bargin.
Go for it, you don't know what you've missed until you try it.
