Hi all,
We just got back from WDW after using the Dining Plan for a week and I have to say it was great!
We saved a TON of money by using this and never had to skrimp on anything.
Here is a quick rundown of where we ate:

Chef Mickeys - always a classic. Decent food, great character interaction. My DD would have a fit if we didn't go there.

Mama Melrose - food was good, great service. My DH had the Mozzarella and Tomatoes as an apetizer, and the Charred Sirloin Steak. Both were delicious. I had the Baked Caprino Cheese and the Chicken Pipette. Both were decent.

Donald's Breakfastasaurus - great food and service. I found that the characters were a little scarce. They only came out once we finished eating, and it was really quick.

Trail's End - this was a last minute change since my sister came and join us at WDW and she had no PSs made. I didn't realize that we now needed PSs here so we waited close to an hour for a table. None of us really liked this place although my DH loved the ribs. I found it a little too "rustic" for me (I'm a city girl ;) Not much choice for deserts and my DD couldn't find much to eat that she liked.

Le Cellier - I LOVED THIS PLACE!!! This is by far THE BEST RESTAURANT ON WDW PROPERTY!!! I had the Mushroom Filet Mignon and cheese soup, my DH had the NY Sirloin and both were tender as butter. I had the creme brulee for desert and it was great also.

1900 Park Fare - Great character interaction and the food is great.

Princess Breakfast - food was average (nothing too exciting). They did have great cinnamin rolls... I was disappointed with the characters since the two that we were waiting for were not there. My DD had dressed as Snow White and wanted to take a picture with her but she wasn't there. Neither was Ariel...
We saw Mulan, Mary Poppins, Belle, Aurora.

For the three of us, we saved at least 50$ - 100$ per day on food. Feel free to order a cappuccino or Latte after supper since this is included in the plan(along with your regular drink).
I would go back to all these restaurants except Trail's End. (My opinion, I know there are plenty who love this place)...

That's all for now! Feel free to ask questions.
