Although I tend to think most things are worth it at Disney World, there are a few I don't think are worth doing and today I've got a list of 5 things that I won't do on Disney World trips.
I've also got a quick tip of the day to help you decide if the Disney Dining Plan is worth it for you.

I agree on the majority of these, but my husband and I would both completely disagree with you about BOG. We went for Dinner and loved the ambiance, it was an incredibly romantic environment for the two of us, plus it’s my favorite Disney movie, so feeling like I’m on the set of the movie is the most incredible feeling! This past trip, my husband and I went to BOG for lunch and felt completely awful about it. We hated every part of the meal, except the actual food. Kids were running around like it was a playground. We had high hopes for this meal since we had enjoyed it so much for dinner, but it was a complete disappointment. Thanks for sharing all the other stuff, it made me think twice about getting fastpasses for fantasmic! 😀
I loved BoG for dinner but I thought breakfast was a mess. I would do it again and recommend it; it was a nice fancyish meal for 1 dining credit with nice ambiance. we sat in the rose room and I don’t htink I would have liked the big ballroom as much. It seemed noisy and more cafeteria-like. Concierge level doesn’t appeal to me but it depends on how you travel. I agree about Illuminations but our cheap ponchos saved our bacon the whole week, lol. Great podcast as always.
I’m sad. BoG isn’t doing the lunch fastpass+ anymore. It ended Feb. 24th 2015. Thanks for all of the great information. We’re going in September and super excited!
It’s not FP+, but I made a lunch reservation for Be Our Guest in September.
