If it's just you and your SO, and yall are anything like us...I'd avoid the meal plan and look into the Tables in Wonderland card. The meal plan is good if you're wanting to feed a family for a fixed price. When we go to Disney, we normally skip breakfast or eat a late one, snack at various places throughout the day, drink around the world, and do a good dinner...so if you aren't going to follow a structure meal schedule of breakfast/lunch/dinner, I doubt you get full value of the meal plan. Tables in Wonderland, IIRC, takes 20% of food and drink (including alcohol) but adds 18% gratuity (which is what most people tip anyway)...all of that being said, it may be limited to DVC members or annual pass holders...I'm sure someone else here knows far more about the dining plan vs tables in wonderland.

I have no experience with the Tables in Wonderland but the only way the Disney dining plan is worth it is if you get it for free when they're running the deals. You have to be prepared to eat. And by eat I mean eat your ever-loving arse off. Every meal is an entree + dessert. Sounds ok until about day 3 when you're feeling like shite. Its a lot of food. The last time we used it we made sure to book places like Brown Derby that use 2 credits just to use them up. Also, including a 6 year old on the dining plan may be silly unless you plan on using them at the more expensive restaurants. If all you plan to do is eat counter service meals then it would be silly to get a dining plan.
