Help needed with package pricing please :)

[Letsgo2DW]

Good evening all! I have a question for the experts

We are considering a trip either in March 2013 or December 2013. I visited the Disney site today and priced out the March trip (wasn't able to price out December). Here is what I got:

3/21/12 to 3/29/12 for 8 nights
2 adults and one 13 year old
7 day tickets (no hopper, water parks, etc)
Disney Dining Plan
AOA Little Mermaid section

The price it gave me was $3904.68.

However, I also priced it out individually and the numbers don't match. Is there some sort of added fee to book a package? Here is what I mean:

Rack rate for AOA LM for same dates with tax: $1352.25
Dining plan $53.54 for 3 ppl for 8 days: $1284.96
7 day tickets (no hop, no water parks): $920.16

Total this way is $3557.37.

That's a difference of $347.31. Hoping someone can tell me what I am doing wrong

Well I noticed that you priced the dining plan with the old prices. Since you would be going during peak season, it will cost you more for dining.

Dining plan $56.94 x 8 days x 3 ppl = $1366.56
Rack rate for AOA LM is = $1614
7 day tickets = $920.16

Total this way = $3900.72

But that also does not include tax and any minor fees that are also added. That may explain the difference. I know the dining plan did change. Hope that helped.

Right off of hand I can say that the dining plan has gone up and you are going during peak time so it would be $1,366.56 for 8 days.

Not sure about the price of the room though.

This is what I came up with as well .
