Dining plan or not at Disney

Went to Disney World this summer with one of my daughters, her husband and the twins (7years). Had a blast, came home totally exhausted. Took a couple of months to recover. Anyway, she had vacationed their before and signed us all up for a dinning plan, 2 meals and snacks each day. It was well worth the investment as food is rather expensive if purchased on the spot. Two meals meant dinner and usually a brunch and snacks permitted drinks and stuff at the parks. You get electronic bracelets that track your purchases and forward overages to your credit card. Purchases can be delivered to your location at the end of the day, so you need not carry stuff around. DO GET THE PHOTO PASS. All around the parks are photographers and with the photo pass added to your bracelet the pictures are uploaded to your cell instantly, and you can upload to your computer for 30 days. You can also order prints. The people at Disney have made a science of separating guests from their money in the painless manor possible. Have a wonderful time. Don't feed the alligators (never smile at a crocodile). If you have time, take a drive to the NASA Kennedy Space Center. Wonderful day long tour. Happy Trails. PS: if you intend dinners with characters you better make reservations well in advance. My daughter also made fast-pass reservations for the special rides the boys wanted. Especially the Star-Wars training camp. Without fast-pass it would be almost impossible to get a spot on stage. Again, Happy Trails.
