Now obviously we all have to eat to stay alive and so you will have to eat during your visits to Disney. But how important is dining within the world to you when measuring your enjoyment of your visit?
For Mrs M and I we don't really think of eating at Disney as being anything more than a necessity for the most part of our trips. We often will do either just a morning in the parks (having late lunch outside on the way home) or just the afternoon (after having an early lunch outside on the way there). Mainly this is to do with the fact that eating in the parks can be quite expensive, certainly fast food is much cheaper outside so if we're not doing a long day in the parks it makes more sense to eat outside. On the days we spend a full day there we tend to grab a snack there rather than a full service restaurant.
The main exception to this is we nearly always visit the sci-fi dine in for a meal prior to Fantasmic towards the end of our holiday once each trip. Last year we also ate at the Rose & Crown in Epcot just prior to Illuminations and this year we're thinking of trying a Magic Kingdom breakfast buffet for the first time. This is mostly just to get in the park extra early in the hope of getting some good pictures as much as anything else though.
Reading through a lot of posts on here though I get the impression that dining in Disney is a big deal to many, something that helps make the visit special rather than just a means to getting your body refueled. So how important is it for you?
