I could not possibly care less whether someone uses the DP or not. We have used it in the past and enjoyed it, but find that it does not work for the vast majority of our trips for reasons previously outlined.
I only post in these types of threads to counteract the way too simplistic and incorrect statement that anyone can eat whatever they want on the dining plan and have it covered in advance, I know what the vast majority of people that say this mean, but it is objectively false information, the plans are more complex than that.
I came to the Dis when planning my first trip about 10 years and 25+ trips ago, I remember how overwhelming it was to plan that trip, with all the different choices regarding hotels, packages vs room only, dining plan or oop, ticket options, etc. and how helpful the information on the Dis was to me, and how valuable of a resource I still find this site. My goal is to add to the good information and positive discourse on this site, and I think that stating that the DDP is a bit more complex and nuanced than is sometimes presented is important.
It's absolutely important when someone needs some help deciding if they want dining plan.
But in threads like this, we are being asked to convince someone why we like the plan, for what reason? I may be way off base, but I don't think this was a case of a newbie looking to see if they should get the dining plan.
