Fl res & SP holder, are the bb or free dining worth it?

[rimmer]

I am a Florida resident and season pass holder and have always wondered if you really saved anything with the bounce back deals or the free dining deals? I've never checked into it before because the deals always say with regular room rate. But now I'm beginning to wonder, especially since we will be there next weekend and want to plan a return trip for Feb or March.

It depends on 1) the level of Resort and 2) how many in your party and the ages of kids, if any
We find the Free Dining works best staying at a Value Resort but room discount saves more at a Deluxe
A moderate might break even between the two offers

I guess that info would help wouldn't it?! We are a family of 4, 3 adults and 1 10yr old. We do prefer Deluxe, this weekend will be our first stay in a moderate (CBR) I'm so excited!! Thanks for the info

It really depends on what is offered.

I find for my family of 5 I prefer to get a room only at a deluxe then free DDP. I have an AP and TiW discount so that works out better for us than the free DDP. To get free DDP you have to buy park tickets. You can save those tickets for pass renewal if you already have valid seasonal passes.

Last May I went to celebrate my birthday with a few friends and was able to book a bounceback for our August family trip that was better than any AP discount offered.

Have you looked at what AP discounts are for Feb/Mar? Then you can compare those to what the bounceback offer might be.
