We didn't do free dining, because we took a room (military)discount. Free dining is worth it for some, depending on where you stay. A lot of times, with Deluxe, it's better if you can get a room discount. You could go through the math with whatever available room discount there is, and the full price for dining and compare. That's what I did, and figured it would have been a great deal at a value or even a mod, but not deluxe. So we went with Deluxe! YAY!
