We are booked, in a Value resort, under the Best Rate program. After I made all our ADRs for this 8 night trip last week, I sat and figured out my food budget. Paying cash for all our meals, with the DDE card mind you.
Then I figured out what it would cost, to cancel my Best Rate ressie, pay the $50 fee for changing it ( I would keep the one night I already paid for, room only the first night there) and actually rebooking the last 7 nights as a package with Dining. The package came out less! So, we are switching to the Dining Plan! I added 1 day passes, which I will just save for a future trip.
