free dining vs. regular room rate

[mmouse50]

I am sure that this is a no brainer but I just want to make sure that I am doing the right math.

Rumor mill has it that free dining MIGHT be available when I go in November - if so, I currently have an AoA suite booked with dining with my annual pass.

If Free dining is available, and no discount for AP holders - to figure out if I would be saving any money - is to go to the website price out my dates with regular dining and 2 tickets and the price out the same dates with counter service and 2 tickets and the difference would be what I would have to add to a room reservation, correct?

I don't know why you would be comparing the regular plan to the quick service plan. With free dining, just price the rack rate of the room + a 2 day ticket and that's what a free dining offer would cost you. Compare that with your AP room rate + dining plan.

Yes. If you want the regular DDP at AoA, that is how you will find the free dining price.

Rack rate for room + 2 day base tickets for each person + $18(ish) per adult per night/$3 per night per child (for dining upgrade) = your cost.

To compare the price I would:
-price out AOA with room & 2 day tickets. (no dining since its free)

Then add in the difference in the cost between qs dining plan & cs dining plan.
If you are going at a regular time (not peak time) the difference is:
$18.01 per adult per night
$2.84 per child per night
