"All right, don't practice your alliteration on me"
Maybe I have managed to pique your interest, just slightly, in the wonders of WDW.
Perhaps even gotten you interested in going over for a meal or two?
It may be that in doing your own WDW research, you have noticed there are rather a lot of dining options and rather a lot of food.
Given the Aussie Dollar is now starting to slide away from the USD, I'm looking for any discount I can get so I can still eat like a king - rather than stand in a car park sucking an ice cube.

| FREE FOOD?! I'm sooooo there. |
We have already explored that WDW is HUGE!
 |
| Look at it! The huge lump! Just like my arse. Which is kinda congruent really. Cause dining at WDW is how my arse got to its "huge lump" state. OK.........ONE of the causes. |
What Disney want, is for you to stay on property and never leave. And spend all your money there.
One way in which they lock you in is to sell you a dining plan attached to your Disney resort accommodation booking. These dining plans come in different sizes for different budgets and different desires. The Disney Food Blog does a very good job of explaining how the plan works.
So if you are going to join Mrs. Banks and our other Zonta friends who are having a little WDW holiday in the week before International Convention, you may want to work out if the Dining Plan is a sensible option for you.
To work this out is very easy - or really really hard -you just need to, for every meal:
I have done the Deluxe Dining Plan a couple of times, and it was fabulous to eat amazing, top class, table service meals every night of the trip, at a decent discount and ...... well .... we're back to the size of my arse again, aren't we? But it is A LOT of food - maybe too much.
Another option is to get an Annual Pass or get a friend with an Annual Pass - like me. I have an Annual Pass! With an Annual Pass, for $100 I can purchase a 'Tables in Wonderland' membership and eat almost everywhere with a 20% discount on food and beverages. And I take 9 friends with me and the whole meal scores the discount.
Read those restaurant menus and decide where you would like to dine. Then whip out your excel spreadsheet and start doing your sums. The best option will be different depending on your family size and your hunger levels.
If you are an obsessive-compulsive planner, this is HEAVEN!
If you are not, then just tag along to my restaurant bookings.
So rabid, hungry readers, what is your favourite dining cuisine?

- work out where you want to eat
- what you want to eat,
- the price of all that food compared to the chosen dining plan price.
