AoA or carribean with free dining?

[ammag]

Ok so I just now found it free dining is offered tomorrow am. We have two rooms booked at AoA (us and my mom) and worked it out that if we upgraded to carribean and did free dining my mom WWII would
D spend abut $30 a day extra but we would save about $20.

My mom was a bit annoyed to have to think about it and is leaving it up to us. So, what would you do? Taking our Dd6 and DS2. We are only seeing M and Ak this time, 2 park days. The good thing for my husband and I is we would be able to keep our res at artists point for anniversary dinner, right now we may cancel due to funds. (My mom pays for this now and we are payin gher back btw) we also have a dinner for all of us booked at Ohana on our resort day.

What would you do?

I've moved this thread to the Disney Resorts forum.

Well if reports are correct AoA will be excluded for the Free Dining offers. This may help make your decision for you.

Right, my question is AoA without the dining or carribean with the dining

CBR with dining, free DDP is worth a few hundreds in saving, depending on how long your trip is. My only advice is to get a preferred room if possible or at least avoid the Pirate rooms, they are just too far from OPR.

I would change to CBR with dining. They have a great pirate themed water play area with slides for kids under 48" that my kids loved when we stayed there.

I had to make the same difficult decision today! We decided to go with the Caribbean Beach resort with free dining. It was worth it for us and I think our girls will love the pool!

Thanks , we decided not to make the switch. Our stay is short and I don't think we would save that much. Or rather my mom who is paying for most fo the trip would pay extra, not worth it. I will save the nicer resorts for our next trip
