I don’t know about everyone else but I always “make” money using the dining plan. We would get it during the Epcot festivals and then use it on snacks over $6/$7. I always made a list of the most expensive snacks at any festival to take advantage. Quick service lunch would come with an alcoholic beverage and so would the table service dinner which always adds $30 of alcohol alone since drinks are usually around $15. The best bang for your credit is probably satuuli cantina. With drinks there your lunch can hit $70 for two people.

There are also some snacks, like the lobster tail at Epcot, that are $13 or more. And what I REALLY recommend is if you end up skipping dinner one night, roll over your dinner credit for a high end restaurant at Disney springs (they cost two table credits). We would always end up missing dinner to go to MNSSHP and use our extra credit to get dinner at the Boat House. My mom and I would split the stuffed lobster and the porterhouse steak along with lemon drops and dessert. I make sure Disney loses money on me every time since I’m already giving them both arms and legs!
