We've booked for next September. The dining plan is never a good deal for us, we never go for it
It was when it was free. The old free breakfast at pop was a simple quick service credit. We used it at dinner and as we had a refill mug they allowed a pudding instead of a drink. I think i worked out with this deal the dining credit and the $250 gift card should work out about the same. It should pay for a one quick service meal for 3 people and a snack per day.
I was shocked today when i checked and the app allowed me to book my parks for Sept 2022!
