Now that we are finishing up our vacation I am going to have to leave the peace, and quiet of Disney. No more sitting back, and just relaxing. I will have to go back to the daily grind. Soon we will have to open our swimming pool because we didn’t get to do any swimming while in Disney. I just wish that there was a maintenance free solution to pools. The chemicals, and all cost so much. Anyway… Disney was great. Our little one was rather well behaved while we were here. She is also a little upset that we are going home.
We went on the Disney Dining Plan, and found that it worked out very well. You pay a certain amount of money per night – per person, and you get credits towards your meals. You go to participating locations, and get your food. At the time of pay you give your card, and they print out receipts like on the tm-t88iv printers you see everywhere around your local stores. We have found that we paid @ $750 for the 3 of us. After we evaluated what we would have actually spent we found that we would have paid almost double if we weren’t on this plan. Now if I could just get a Disney chef at home because hubby loves Disney food.
We will definitelly go back on one of the Disney Dining plans when we return. That is my hubby’s dream at least because I am making definite plans in my head that we are going on the Disney Dream, and want to save some money. I can’t afford to keep taking vacations 2-3 times a year just because he loves Disney.

Great testimonial for the Disney Dining Plan! It is a good deal for most families. A key part of that though, is keeping track of and managing your credits: if you don’t use your credits you won’t get that money back. It’s a good idea to plan ahead, map out where you will eat and the credits that it will take for each place.
