If you want to go in September with free dining, package, absolutely. Otherwise, it depends on your dining preferances. You can only get Disney Dining Plan with a package, so if you want to live high on the hog as it were and eat for $38.00 a day per person, then you kind of have to do a package. Of course there are potentially codes, like AAA etc... that can save money. If you think you would not want to eat sit down that often and could save money eating, then seperate is probably the way to go. To weigh your options even more, I would check out Mousesavers.
