I will never understand why people who don't want to use the dining plan need people who do use the dining plan to explain why they use it. Or need to tell these people why it's a waste of money.
Who cares?
I don't care why you don't use the dining plan, in fact, it wouldn't even cross my mind to ask you about it.
I think my favorite posts are when posters try to imply that we on the plan are either too lazy or too dumb to figure out the pricing before we go.
We may use it some trips, some trips we won't. This trip we will because we want a sit down dinner each night, snack credits to be used at flower/garden, and now with one alcoholic drink with lunch and dinner, um, bonus! The two of us will definitely come out ahead this trip.
Maybe when I activate my AP on the next trip, we'll try TIW.
