ahhhh ok got ya...so we are better ditching the room discount and taking the free dining if it comes along..ok....then bring it on!! I have never really sat down and did the math, I always assumed it worked out the same. Fingers crossed then it comes along.!!!! Allllllllllllll hail Free dining gods!!!!
Don't assume that if its a better deal for somone else that it would also be a better deal for you.
Just before you decide...... Do the math.
Actually for us.... it didn't work out that great.....
There's just DD and myself......
We don't like sit-down meals all the time... in a week's time we will have only 3-5 table service meals (between 1-2 character breakfasts and a couple nice dinners)
We aren't big eaters and we like to just carry around a few "snacks" like healthy granola bars that we bring from home and pack in our suitcases.
We have found that now since all the resorts have refrigerators we can order from Garden Grocery and have some things like bottled water, snacks, cereal, milk delivered. Then we are set for the week.
It all depends on what you like..... if you typically do a lot of table service and there are 4 of you.... definitely free dining is a better deal.
But for 2 of us that don't eat much..... the resort "room only" discount is better.
Either way..... great deals!!
Oh.... forgot to add..... if you have an annual pass.... which we did last year.... you can get 10 to 20% discounts on a lot of restaurants. Also... we purchased a "Tables in Wonderland" dicsount card which is good for 1 year. Gave us 20% discounts...... the initial cost was $75 for the card but we saved about a total of $200 so far (we had other family members that met us down there for a couple meals).... and we will use it again when we go in May.
