Free Dining: average price difference upgraded value vs moderate?

[alylyn80]

Hello,

Does anyone know on average the price difference between booking free dining at a value and upgrading to disney dining vs just booking at a moderate and getting the disney dining?

For our family of 4 (3 Disney adults and 1 child) - it was right at $200 for 9 nights in September between upgrading a value to the regular dining plan and staying at a moderate.

For two adults at a Moderate we usually budget $1000 for food and snacks when not on FD.
