I'm going through options and they're letting me add the dining plan staying at the Fort. When did this start?

You've always been able to add the dining plan when staying at the Fort. It's the free dining on the campsites that never exists.
We opt out of the dining plan because I save a big chunk of change by doing most of my own cooking.
Lots of others do the same but some still pick it up.
I think that is one of the appealing things at the fort.... Being able to have a normal "Home Cooked" meal (so to speak). Even if you don't go to over board. At the fort, we will often have breakfast. Have the ability to easily keep/bring "Snacks" with us to the parks, and even Lunch if it's little more than a sandwich. At "hotels" you virtually have to eat ALL meals "out" and not only can it take it's toll on the waste line (and I really don't need any more help on that) it certainly can take a toll on the wallet (whether it's a Dining plan or Cash/Credit out of pocket).Our travel agent said she never recommends the dining plan to her clients staying at the Fort - simply for the fact that it is expected that we will eat at least one meal a day at our camper.
