Hello everyone! I'm new, so please bare with me This isn't DCP related, but I am seeking the expertise of fellow college students.
Two of my friends and I want to go to Disney World for our Fall Break this October to celebrate our senior year. We plan on driving to cut flying costs, but beyond that aren't sure where to spend our money and where to save it. I've been to Disney three times before and I am used to the Deluxe hotel/Parkhopper/airport experience, which I know the three of us can't afford.
So here are my main questions:

So here are my main questions:
- Value or Moderate resort? And if value, is it worth it to upgrade to the newer Art of Animation or is Pop Century fine? What moderate resorts work best?
- Dining Plan, yes or no? I'm thinking no, because we don't eat much and I'm thinking we'll only have one full meal in the park a day, bringing our own snacks and breakfast food.
- Park hopper? Since we'd be there at the Food and Wine Festival in Epcot, it might be nice to hop over there on a whim. But it is more expensive.
- Three day or two day ticket? We plan on arriving late on a Monday/Sunday night, staying Monday/Tuesday through Wednesday/Thursday, then leaving early Thursday/Friday morning. Are the savings really worth it? Would we enjoy a day just in Downtown Disney?
