2. Convenience
The dining plan is extremely convenient for a couple of reasons. Your meals are already paid for ahead of time, which means if you are trying to figure out a budget for what you’ll be spending on food, you’ll have already paid for it when you booked your trip. I find this to be extremely helpful when I’m going to Walt Disney World with a bigger group, because it ensures that everyone will pay an equal share for dining, and you won’t have awkward moments at dinner when the check comes. Just remember that gratuities are not included in the cost of the plan.
