Help!!! Free Dining, military room discount and DDP

[4mcbjCtr]

I am really hoping you all can help. I wasn't sure where to post this, but you all are so helpful usually. I am wanting to plan a last minute and unexpected vacation for my kids to Disney. They really want the DDP this trip. We are DVC members and a military family. I am wanting to see what the least expensive route would be (this isn't in our travel budget, but we are doing it anyway ).

These are our options:

1. Use a military room only discount (30% - 40% discount) and pay to add the DDP
2. Use DVC points and pay to add the DDP to our reservation
3. Use DVC points and buy the Tables in Wonderland Card which gives 20% off dining and use this instead of adding DDP (we don't drink alcohol, so that negates some of the benefit of this card)
4. Book a moderate room using the free dining promotion

Thanks for your help. I have tried to run the numbers myself, but don't think I am able to access all the information I need.

I think you should post this in the Discounts sub-board of the Resorts board. All the folks that post there are expert at running numbers and evaluating various discount offers.

Thanks Vicki! I will go and do that right now.

Not to be rude, but why don't you run the numbers and see? You're not giving us dates, room size/number of guests, preferred locations, or other factors necessary to do a proper analysis. And why should someone else do the legwork for you (except apparently the gluttons for punishment that Vicki refers to who might actually enjoy it)?

When you do check things out, don't forget about the Shades of Green. They're offering some pretty deep room discounts right now.

They actually helped me on the other board. I figured it might be something that people had a quick answer for without running numbers. That is why I didn't post lots of details. I really was unsure about trying to figure out the room only discount, but found out I was calculating everything correctly. Thanks again!
