We just got back Sunday from WDW. I know folks have been curious about the dining plan. We used the Magic your way plan on this trip with Dining. I finally had a chance to put the numbers together and here's what I've found..

The dining plan cost us $690 to add. (3 adults & 1 child for 6 nights). I kept a running total of what our meals would have cost us if we had paid for them. The total was $929.88. (Including the snacks). Of course if we did not have the plan, we would not have eaten so much (desserts, etc). But it actually worked out quite well. Most of the desserts were portable (brownies, rice krispy treats, etc) and we just took them with us!

We ate at the following places using the plan.
Casey's
Columbia Harbour House
Liberty Inn
Ohana
Donald's Breakfastasaurus
Pizza Planet
Sci-Fi Dine In
Rose & Crown
CRT Princess Breakfast
Crystal Palace (Dinner)
Pecos Bills
Electric Umbrella

All in all I was VERY Pleased with the plan and we are planning on adding it to our next trip as well. We did not have any problems with CM's not knowing about it. They all seemed pretty informed and at the sit down places they knew what was included, etc. 15% gratuity was automatically included on the sit-down meals.

Oh, and on the children's menus at the sit-down places they have added little "appetizers" that they can get. Like carrots w/ranch or fruit. It was really nice that our daughter got her own appetizer.

If you have some questions I can answer, please ask away!
