We're planning a September trip (6 days, 5 nights) - taking the 3 kids (ages 6,4,1), my in-laws, and my mother. Our last trip in December 2005 was absolutely fantastic - we had the Disney dining package, which I would absolutely recommend to anyone. Well worth the money.
We are on the MYW with free dining package in September. The only downside that I see is that it only offers 1 counter service per day, instead of two and you only get the number of meals per night of your stay. Since we arrive early on our first day and leave late on our last day, we are going to have to purchase a few meals during our visit.
I have made reservations for all our meals, including the luau at the polynesian. I went about 10 years ago and absolutely loved it, but haven't gotten back yet. Since this event will use up two meals, I purchased the tickets on my own instead of using the dining plan. I have heard mixed reviews of the food from some friends recently. I remember the food being absolutely delicious. Has anyone been lately and did I do the right thing by purchasing this on my own rather than using up two dining plan meals...thoughts anyone?
