When both of my kids were in the child price range it was a great deal. Now that one has crossed that line the Dining Plan is considered a luxury for our family. We love having it because we never look at the menu and feel guilty for ordering an expensive item. I like to just swallow one big pill up front and be done with it rather than lots of little bitter ones each time we sit down to eat.
We also need at least one sit down meal a day. Not so much for the food but for the forced rest. If we have a reservation at a restaurant our kids are excited about going to there isn't the "please just one more ride" getting in the way of me getting off my feet for an hour. When they are old enough to go on a ride while I plant myself on a bench I may feel differently.
