Depends on how many are in your room and also if you'll need to buy park tix anyway. And how many days you stay.
We've used the QSDP twice now (total of 7 times on
DDP) and really enjoyed not having to make ADRS. My DM thought this was great! I have a review of our QSDP from last fall, link in siggy if you are interested.
IMHO if you have 2 or more guest in your room and you are staying in a value-it's a better deal to pay full rate and get the free QSDP. The cost savings for the free QSDP will be more than any room discount rate you can get. But you do have to pay 2 day base tix. If you already have tix or have an AP than you will be paying for those 2 days bases to get the free DDP.
It's really all a numbers game. I'm in a similar situation. My DNephew is a CM at WDW and can get us a room for 50%, but not at a value. I would prefer to stay at a value (AoA) and get the free QSDP. My DM would like to stay in a moderate and get 50% off. I know that by having to buy the 2 day base tix it may cost us more to stay at the value to get the free DDP but those tix don't expire as long as we don't use them-we can use them on a later trip (what we do is take the 2 day and upgrade to 1 10 day with PH and Waterparks, with no expiration) I'm pretty sure we have enough tickets from the past years to not have to buy tickets this year.
But if I'm basically paying for a 2 day base to eat "free" than to me it makes sense. We plan on staying 10 days so if I divide the price of the 2 day tix by 9 (nights) it comes out to $20 a day ($180-9 nights). Being able to eat for $20/day per person is a pretty good deal and we still have the 2 day base ticket to use later.
Hope I've helped, it's really a personal choice based on many things.
Plus, I really like being able to get whatever we want to eat without worrying about the price.
