It may not even save you that much money, but we just love the idea of not giving a second thought about the cost of eating while at WDW. Plus we end up being more adventurous, and trying places we never would if we had to pay for them. I love the dining plan.

The desire to eke out every marginal dollar of revenue is understandable, but the consequences are often disappointing over the long term. Don't get me wrong--still a huge fan, but I felt I needed Pocket Excel to figure out my multiple checks when I was at the World in May using both the Dining Plan plus the Tables in Wonderland discount card.
