particularly gargoylez and rennfoole  - can you help answer this question about WDW dining?

Several people have just gone or are planning trips to WDW.  Who has done or is doing the Dining Plan?  How does it work?  Is it worth the money?  Did you have the normal Dining Plan or the Super Special one?  Thanks!

Dining plans are generally not worth it, cost-wise. On the other hand, if you *really* don't want to worry about budget while you're there, one variation or another isn't so horrible, if you're planning to eat at the more expensive places anyway, especially. Yes, we did one of the meal plans one time... a long time ago, it encouraged us to try more of the sit-down places, but also made us feel like we *had* to have something good enough for us to feel the money was well spent, and odd if we skipped it. More recently we've priced it out and decided that it just wasn't worth the cost when compared to what we figured we'd be spending if we didn't do the plan.

It really depends on the person, and what they want out of their vacation and money. Personally, I doubt we'll do a meal plan again, unless the cost looks like it'll be closer to equal again in the future.
