Personally, I found the prepaid meal tickets very very convenient. You didn't have to actually spend too much cash and it worked out much better. I think I spent a whole $5 in total, not including the initial fee. I just felt bad for out engineer from our sponsor. FIRST & Disney made him pay for himself, his kids, and his wife to get into Epcot for the party, so he did. Yet, the closing ceremony took FOREVER and by the time he got out of there, his family had left because they weren't waiting for an hour for him..

It really sucked.
