Burger Digs is pretty good, I like it and I love eating on the balcony. Just a wonderful view of the IOA. Love it, I recommend it to anyone who has not done it. Circus McGurkus was cool too with the ride going thru it. The Monster place looked cool, did not eat there but looked cool.
I disagree with it it not being convenient, it certainly is for us. Not having to worry about a budget is very relaxing. And of course on any type of meal that is all you can eat the more you shovel in the better the deal is. But even with our lighter eaters I never felt like we got ripped off. And we had a bottomless pit to offset if we did
To me the things with all of these meal plans is how they effect you on the trip.
1. Normally looks at a price on a meal and lets that influence rather you order it or not. Worries about how to "stay on budget" each day of the trip. If so then a meal plan is great because that does not matter with a meal plan, get what you want regardless of price.
2. As you eat on the meal plan you are doing mathematical calculations to determine how much the meal plan cost you per meal per person and then working out how much the meal on the table in front of you would have cost OOP. Then trying to see if you "got you money's worth" from the dinning plan or not. Doing that removes the entire purpose of the dining plan for me. To relax and not worry about it.
3. Buys the dining plan, knows the money is already spent thus it does not matter if it was "wise" or not. The money is gone. Eats like a freaking pig and does not worry all week about the "budget" as eating does not effect it at all other than the tip.
I am number 3 all the way. Might not be the best "use" of my money but what ever money I "waste" on the dinning plan comes back to me easily in piece of mind on the trip.
Now only if they had a "drinking" plan, ah yes pre paid booze is the next evolution of immersion for me!
