Got a PIN so I finally booked!

I'd been planning to book room-only for our May 2011 trip but hadn't done it yet, and the other day I got a PIN!!

The PIN was for a discount on a room/ticket package - still don't know exactly what the discount was %-wise, the e-mail just gave examples of the $ savings on a 4-night/4-day package at different resort levels for a family of 4.

Anyway... I priced out room-only with tickets from Undercover Tourist (our original plan) so I'd have the number in front of me, then called Disney to find out what the price for a 6-night package at POP would be with the PIN. Turns out I am saving about $110 by booking with the PIN!

Now we just have to decide if we want to add a Dining Plan. We'd decided against it before, because we weren't going to buy our tickets from Disney, but now that we have a room/ticket package, we're reconsidering adding Dining. Decisions decisions!

We have paid for the DP before and had it free once before. We are booked for the last weekend in May and have FREE dining again!!

I have to say though, I would pay for it again if I had a good room discount. We love being on it. The kids LOVE the places that we eat and I like not having to worry about how much they spend on each meal. You can't beat the children's prices either. My children are now considered adults so that really hurts the wallet on the dining plan now, but it's still worth it.

I've never done a dining plan before and if it was just my family traveling I'd probably go for it. But we are traveling with my parents & my MIL, which complicates matters. I'll probably go ahead & make ADRs for each day when I get to my 180 days, just in case we do decide to add dining. If we don't add it, I can just keep the 1 or 2 TS meals we really want to do & cancel the rest.
