So was the deluxe dining plan worth it? Undoubtedly yes! It took a bit of planning on my part, but tallying the results I ate $720.50 worth of food over the seven days in Walt Disney World, averaging $103 spent on lunch and dinner each day. If you consider the plan only costs $72/day AND you're getting about $50 worth of drinks and snacks on top of that, it's quite a bargain in a place that generally isn't about cutting their guests any deals when it comes to their pocketbook.
Best and Worst Lists:
Most "Bang" for your Credits - Yak & Yeti in the Animal Kingdom. I ate $51 using a single $22 credit. Le Cellier was a close second with $44 for a credit. The most advantageous Signature Dining restaurant was Narcoosie's, which provided a tasty $80 meal for $44 in credits.
Worst Use of Credits - From a purely monetary standpoint, Boma at $17 was my worst use of credits. However, the food was just so damn good that I'm going to say it was worth it anyways. The Brown Derby was also pretty cheap for being a 2 credit joint.
Best Food - I'm going to say that California Grill probably was my favorite dinner, and Le Cellier my favorite lunch.
Worst Food - San Angel Inn was pretty bad all around, I would not go back there or advise anyone to bother with it.
Best "Bang" for the Cost - Boma, hands down. $17 for a full meal is a bargain in Disney World, and no where else even came close to the quality for that price. If I had Boma down the street charging $17, I wouldn't blink an eye at eating there on a regular basis anyways.
