I have taken a look at it for a bunch of families. For the most part, it is going to save you money if you use all the meals, even if it is just character meals. Let's look at it for your family on an average day:

Your cost $125
Counter service lunch, Pinocchio's Village Haus: $41
Chef Mickey's dinner: $128
snack (mickey head ice cream): $15

So, my total for your one day is $184, meaning you were ahead by about $59 for just one day. Now, I picked Chef Mickey's for dinner, since it one of the more expensive character meals, but it is only a dollar or two more per person. Imagine if you had taken everyone to Le Cellier instead, and the bill is $200 just for dinner? Oh, you can do that too.

Remember that the meal plan includes all taxes and gratuities as well, so you just show up, eat and leave.

Of course, if you don't use all your meals, you are not going to come out ahead.
