Sun 5/25/2008 9:00p | Ok another question. Are the dining plans worth it? |

If you don't like to do lots of planning your table service then maybe it's not for you.
If you like a lot of table service and doing all the planning in advance it is well worth it. |

Tue 5/27/2008 5:47a | Yes and no. I think if you have young children, no it is not. If you are adults only (or teens) and like a table service a day, it can be. Sadly they have cut back on it compared to what it used to be, so now I do not bother with dining plans. |

We were also able to go in September when it was free, as long as you were staying in a WDW hotel. (That special is back on for this year.) So, I never had to debate if the cost was worth it.
I can also see how, if like sun-n-fun, you consider sit down dinners more trouble than they're worth how the plan wouldn't be a good idea. |

Tue 5/27/2008 7:07a | Fantastic then Mrs ElderP.
We do make sure to have PS for one table service a day, but what we find is the kids have an appetite one meal, but not the next. Or one day we want three courses, another just on, or another we want to share an appetiser and dessert with our own entrees.
We found that the dining plan was not as gooda deal when paying for it. |

Tue 5/27/2008 8:57a | The dining plan makes our vacation too structured. We like to be able to travel WDW as we please without being held to dining times. We always book a few "special" sit down meals and just improvise on the rest. |
