We've had free dining once before and it was great. You certainly get a ton of food - more than anyone needs - so we split meals a lot. We always had dessert leftovers that we brought back to our room but it never really got eaten. It definitely was great to just take the thinking and money aspect out of ordering, etc. but I'm not sure we would ever pay for dining. We'll take the free dining though any day!
Although the last couple trips we have been renting DVC points, therefore we don't qualify for free dining.
And I have to say - I know people are leery of renting points, but we have had great luck every time going to dvcbyresale.com. It has given us the opportunity to save A LOT of money by having a large room and a small room, instead of getting three separate rooms. When you have a group of 10 like we do this year, that makes all the difference. Plus, having the full kitchen we always order food to have in our room. We are going to order stuff off of Amazon to be delivered to our room. So like diapers, snacks, etc. Hoping that will help with the packing and having more stuff in our room for us.
Either way, I'm excited that we can just attach our credit card to our magic band and make all of our purchases that way! So slick!!!
