Of course, coupled with Magic Express, you really don't need to rent a car, so staying at one of the Disney resorts is very time/cost effective for guests who are flying in. But even for guests who drive in with their own car, staying at one of the Disney resorts is much more convenient than staying at one of the hotels outside the World, or even at one of the Downtown Disney area hotels because of the Disney Transport bus system. It's much faster to grab the bus (or monorail or boat) at your resort than it is to wait for the non-Disney shuttle or to drive and park your car, and then have to wait for the parking lot tram to get you to the gate. This is especially time consuming at the MK where you park on the other side of the road from the TTC and almost always are too far to walk, so you need a tram to the monorail/ferry in order to get to the MK's front gate while the Disney resorts' buses all drop you right at the front gate!
The dining plan is just an added excuse/benefit.
