Question for Disney World vacation experts...?

It totally depends on your eating style and which dining plan you choose. What you save in reality, isn't the cost of what "you would have paid" for the same bill on the dining plan, because the dining plan can encourage you to eat more, up your bill, and you have to pay tips on that. The savings is based on what you would have paid if you didn't have the dining plan v. what the dining plan costs you.

About 50% of people hate the dining plan and 50% love the dining plan. Of those that love the dining plan, even a good 15%-20% admit the dining plan saves them very little to actually costing them more.

It's fairly easy to figure out how it fits you and your family, and it's not asking others. http://www.trifter.com/USA-&-Canada/Florida/Evalua... has all the steps on figuring it out.

I've used it and I feel it is SO worth it. Espically if you are planning on eating at the more expensive sit down resturants. It is a lot of food and at a good price. I say go for it.. and have fun!

I mean think about it.. what is it 45-50 a day per adult.

Breakfat can cost any where from $9-$20

Lunch- $9-$20

Dinner-10$-$40

so figure it out... Unless you plan on eating all small counter service meals the dining package is SO WORTH IT!

Depending if you want to have a sit down dinner and you are going to eat lunch it is TOTALLY worth it!

I have used it twice and it's so nice to not have to pay at the end of the meal, just show then your room key and it's taken care of.

Now, if you are not a big eater and don't plan on eating big meals then I say no it's not worth it.

If you do happen to get it, make sure you make reservations well in advance. You don't want to miss out on using it, especially when you already paid for it.

If you are planning on eating that much food, and if you don't mind that you have to make reservations for sit-down meals in advance, then yes, it is usually worth it. If you usually eat very cheaply, like just counter-service meals, then no, it is not worth it.

Or if you are like me and don't like to plan your meals 3 months in advance, it may not be for you.
