We'd already booked an 8 night trip for the marathon (this sunday!), but we were able to use the 4/3 promo, which saved us over $500, plus the $200 gift card! I'm sure that's not the audience Disney was targeting, but oh well! Saving that $500 gave me a lot more breathing room for our trip (and Christmas!).
We're getting the meal plan because DH wants it. In the end, he's probably right, since it'll save me from fretting over the cost of meals, since it's already paid for and I don't even have to think about it!
