Hi
We did the regular dining plan in May 2010 and found that it was too much food for us.
We did OK using the regular sit down meals, but there were way too many counter service and snacks for us.
The plan had us eating differently than we normally would. For example we would not normally each get a dessert at dinner, maybe 1 to share (if any), but with the plan we both got one.
Even counter service meals included a dessert. Often we would prefer to just share one counter service meal for a quick lunch. By the end of the trip we had so many extras.
Same thing with the snacks - we couldn't use them up. Near the end of the trip we had to buy snacks just to use the snack credits up.
I liked the idea of it being paid for in advance and when I added up the value of the food we received vs the amount we paid for the plan, we definitely got more food than what the plan cost us.
The value for what we received was there, but if we were paying out of pocket we would have just ordered what we wanted and not felt like we had to keep getting more food. Our next trip will be out of pocket for food using our Tables in Wonderland Card
Enjoy
