Its all a facade to give people on the plan the sense of getting a real bargain. I hate the plan. Why can't people see what it's doing to the overall Magic of what was a wonderful WDW.

Nothing goes with a 4 star hot dog, like an ice cold Coke. And its a good thing that they are offering this dilectable meal for free, because of the new a la carte offerings at WDW, I am sure this gourmet meal would come to about $32 if actually purchased. But its all about location. Yeah, you can get the exact same fine foods at 7-11 for about $3, but its just not the same as having magical waiter bring it to you.

If overall people didn't like it, they wouldn't do it. Doobie.
