Agreed! We always save money using the regular dining plan. Our DDs are 21+ and the four of us always order an alcoholic beverage ($12-$14 each drink) with our meals (only when we are on holidays - it is a treat that we likely would not allow ourselves if we weren't on dining plan). We eat at one credit places that are expensive (Boma, Chef Mickey, 'Ohana) and get lots of use out of the mugs that come with the plan. We are travelling this summer for the first time in about 15+ years without the
DDP and I am still crossing my fingers that it comes back!
To each their own!
