They offered the dining plan to us (4 adults) and we're staying only 3 days in sept.
We upgraded to the deluxe plan for $32 / person. $128 for 3 full meals and 2 snacks for 4 adults!
I figured we could save over $600 on food!

Free Dining plan extended until December

Disney extends free dining promotion Orlando Sentinel Walt Disney World has formally extended a free dining promotion, in a sign that the resort fears the deep recession will continue to weigh on travel into the winter. But the promotion is also slightly smaller than the previous offer, suggesting Disney does not think it needs to discount as deeply to drive attendance. Disney extended the free dining promotion, which initially covered dates only through Oct. 3, until Dec. 17, with a five-day blackout period around Thanksgiving. It extended the booking window for the deal, which was to expire Sunday, until Sept. 26. One significant difference: Travelers who book rooms in Disney World's cheapest hotels — its "value" resorts such as Disney's Pop Century Resort — will receive narrower dining plans for free. by Jason Garcia complete article
