BUMP.

So, we will be headed to Disney in May with the kids (aged 3.5 and 1.5 at the time). We hadn't planned to go with them at such a young age, but my brother's bride-to-be has decided that that is where the wedding will be. So, off to Disney we go for a 5 day vacation.

We already have our hotel reservations to stay in the Contemporary, which we chose for its convenience to the park given the kids' young ages, and my son's fascination for all things trains. We know that we will be making a few trips back and forth to the room each day for rests, etc.

What can you seasoned travelers tell me about the dining plans? For our family, and situation (snacks in room at rest times), it just doesn't seem economical. Two of our meals will be paid for as part of the wedding festivities. In addition, I have been told that only certain places in the park take the dining plan.... not exactly something that a 3 year old and a 1 year old would understand when they want to eat RIGHT NOW!

However, every single time that I am on the phone with Disney they tell me that I am making a HUGE mistake by not getting the plan. The skeptic in me seems to think that just confirms my theory that it isn't a good economic deal, because why do they care about saving me money? I have to pay for the phone calls since they don't even have an 800 number for crying out loud!! My husband is leaning more towards the idea of getting it, just for convenience.

Anyone have experience with this, especially with young children who will just want a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner every night?
