YIKES!!! Is the dining plan a must? We priced out the dining plan last summer, and then priced out what we ordered (actually, I estimated before the trip) and we saved money by going without the plan. We ordered what we wanted, although in some cases we shared a large entrée or shared desserts because we didn't need the huge portions you get at Disney. You still will pay a lot for food, no question, but you don't have to do that now, and you can be in control of what your family orders. A lot of people will purchase gift cards to use for dining so it is "pre-paid" plus places like Target and Sam's Club offer discounts on Disneyworld cards, so you can save money there. Not sure if there are discounts offered for Easter. When I am planning a trip, I hang out on the subforum that discusses resort discounts and usually find a lot of info there about what has been offered in the past for discounts and what may be coming down the pipeline.
