I'll be booking our first trip soon. Does anyone know what the upgrade cost is to upgrade from a free QS dining to the other dining plan?

It's not like if they decide not to they'll make the character buffets cheaper
Fantastic! Now it sounds like I need to do the math to see what works the best. Our original plan was to stay at a value and pay for the DDP or upgrade from free QS to DDP. But now it sounds like well have to stay at a mod just to get QS and then pay to upgrade. Do I have that right? Maybe it's cheaper to just stay at a mod and pay for dining?
I wonder if Values will be included in Bounceback offers for FD, or if it's going to be completely eliminated
I'm actually not surprised at all, this fits with the other 2013 promotions we've seen so far. SPD was a very watered-down FD, and the spring discount has been a disappointment to many (though we really lucked out with a nice YC deal).
Despite what many are claiming, the economy IS getting better, and Disney is able to fill their rooms and parks without giving so much away for free. You can't blame them for following simple supply and demand laws, they are a business not a charity.
The only way Disney will get the message is to stop making reservations in hope if a discount later. I think we are all shooting ourselves in the foot when we give Disney the message we will go no matter what.
This is seriously making me reconsider our booking date...Which will make my family very disappointed. We are planning on going March 24-28 (second week of Spring Break) only because my hubby has a work obligation the first week. So far there are NO discounts for these dates and the crowds will be quite a bit more compared to our trip in October 5 years ago. Had our hearts set on March but now I am rethinking our trip
This is just how "I" look at Disney vacation. When my family plans a trip, I book for what my budget allows, which typically includes ordering from Garden Grocer all breakfasts and lunches. But, my point is IF Disney comes out with a discount, AWESOME! If not, then I am not out anything. Disney prices based on what people will pay. I look at the vacation as time with family and I budget my vacation not worrying or needing the discount, BUT they sure are nice to get.
