Disney Reservations saved me $$$$$!

I was doing a bit of tweaking on our upcoming September WDW trip, and was on the phone with Jake at Disney Vacations, when he pointed out that 1. I am coming down in September...2. I am staying at a Deluxe Resort....but 3. I wasn't taking advantage of free dining on the Dining Plan!
We are blessed to be able to spend $ on our WDW jaunts, are huge foodies, and usually do not get the Dining Plan....so it slipped my mind that we are going down when this offer is in place!
I did the math....we will be saving a whopping....ready?.....$1300 by using the plan!!! We will still probably spend around $1700 on dining, but wow! There are five of us....four on adult menu and one child. If you have seen my plans, I will be down for 10 days, staying at Contemporary, and do a ton of table service dining....not to mention are doing Chef Mickey twice, Cinderella's Royal Table and Akershus for dinner! Way to go Jake!

You could upgrade to the deluxe dining for a few extra $$ and have all your meals covered, plus two snacks per person....

I would look at upgrade to deluxe dining....which will give you more table service meals, 2 snacks and it also includes appetizers for lunch & dinner. It saves us a boatload of money too. We are foodies love the breaks that table service meals give us and we love appetizers.
