Re: 2008 WDW Deluxe Dining Plan - your opinion
The Deluxe has too much food for us as we don't usually eat three big meals a day plus snacks

Same with us. We liked the dining plan but we were too full trying to eat all the food. We would keep getting the regular dining plan if our picky son wasn't turning into an adult next May. I'll miss some parts of the dining plan, like having all our meals paid for and not worrying about how much everything costs, but it will be nice not to be locked in to a meal because we don't want to lose credits.

Re: 2008 WDW Deluxe Dining Plan - your opinion
I like the option of the deluxe plan. I've already considered it for our trip for my birthday next year. I figure if we're going to do atleast 1 signature restaurant for my birthday, and 1 dinner show it would probably work out right for us. It's not something I would do every trip, but something I'd consider once in a while.

Re: 2008 WDW Deluxe Dining Plan - your opinion
We would not eat all the food. When I am in a hot park all day.. the last thing I want is to eat tons of food. I would feel like we had to eat it to get our money's worth though. Rather Pay OOP and make my own choices.

Re: 2008 WDW Deluxe Dining Plan - your opinion
not sure i'd want to spend that much time in restaurants. if someone is going for an extended period of time, and will spending just a few hours a day in parks, and rest of vacation is about relaxing, good food, resorts, etc then it'd be a great thing to do. not so much for my family (with 2 little ones). great if it was just DH and me for more than a week though.

Re: 2008 WDW Deluxe Dining Plan - your opinion
I used the deluxe plan on my honeymoon and all I did was eat. It was way too much food.

Re: 2008 WDW Deluxe Dining Plan - your opinion
Not a fan of the dining changes. It was nice not having to worry about tipping. We never had a problem with a server before, and we did tip extra for better service. We always had plenty to eat, and will not be wasting time sitting down foe three meals. It was great while it lasted.

Re: 2008 WDW Deluxe Dining Plan - your opinion
I felt the original plan was too much food. So i am happy with it. And hopefully service will be better since tips are guaranteed.

Re: 2008 WDW Deluxe Dining Plan - your opinion
We had plenty of food on the old plan, so I can't imagine adding more meals & snacks to that. It would be way too much food (& too expensive) for us.

Re: 2008 WDW Deluxe Dining Plan - your opinion
I am really considering it for next year's trip. Everything I could possibly want to eat or drink will be included in the price of my package. I like the concept. I think it's a fair price. I don't know what I am going to do just yet, but am seriously considering it.
