My family has only done the dining plan when it was either free or part of a specially priced sports team package. The rest of the time, we prepay for all our dining by buying Disney Gift cards at a discount (buy when Kroger has 4x Fuel Points with a cash back credit card). This way I get an automatic discount on my dining costs, my dining is prepaid, and we get to eat what we want. The DP is not always the best deal and it becomes even more expensive in comparison to my gift card method when I factor in my discount. There is a huge thread on the Budget Board about ways to get discounted Disney gift cards.
