Can someone please explain this??

Does anyone know the actuall per person cost/day of the dining plan (the one with 1 snack, 1 qs, 1 ts)? We are going to be there May 7th which, to my understanding, is regular season, not peak (correct me if I'm wrong). When I play around with my numbers on line (room in AB at POR, 5 day base tickets and DDP) the DDP comes out to around $740 (2 adults, 3 kids). Two different conversations with a CM they are telling me that it's about $55/day for adults and $19/day for kids (or around $835). This comes out to about $100 more than what I get when I subtract my hotel room and 5 day base tickets from my Disney package that I enter in on the website. It's driving me crazy and I'm wondering if I'm being charged a bit more b/c I'm going through a cast member rather than doing it online? Please help! This could make the difference of us booking the DDP or not. Thanks so much for your thoughts/help!

Thank you for the info. I saw this in another section here but it still doesn't add up to the price they are telling me over the phone. That's why I'm so confused. If it's regular season and I put in for the $51/day price, etc it comes out to the price I get online (about $740). However, I've now had two CMs tell me it's $55/day for adults and $19/child. Has anyone else been told this? May 7th doesn't seem to fall under "peak" season and even if it did the prices here that I've seen (around $53/day) don't add up to the $835 the CM told me it would be. Long story short -- I hope the info we have both been seeing is the accurate info -- that would make me much happier!!!
