HHI or POR w/free dining? What do you think?

[nezy]

Ihave a deadline-
I have booked for around the same time-not exact dates, a trip to HH on points as well as a trip to WDW at Port Orleans-cash, but w/free dining. My dilemma is that I can't do both, but which do I choose?

The advantage to HH is that is paid for -just getting there and food.

Re:WDW, we have to pay $870 for 4 nights for 4 including meals.

we went to HH last Fall and loved, we go to WDW every year and will be back in Feb. -not on property though, at Marriott Vacation Club.
What would you do?
Opinions needed

The thought of trying to eat anywhere in the world during the free dining weeks at WDW freaks me out. Maybe it won't be that bad, but I know how crowded the restaurants are during non-free dining and I am just picturing the lines, and crowds and all the people that are bound to be really loud and ugly because they did not make ADRS. Plus, it just seems like there a ton of cheap people who are bound to try to play the system and make things even worse.

Maybe people will come back and say it was just wonderful, but it seems like it could potentially be a public relations nightmare and if I had a choice I'd go to HHI and spend my extra $$ on quiet, relaxed, peaceful meals there.

Have you made your dining ressies? We're not on free dining, but we have managed to get the dinner ressies that we want for the upcoming trip, so I'm not sure that it will necessarily be a chaotic time at the restaurants.

I think you just have to decide which is the one you really want to do. I'm no help at all, sorry.

Me? I would probably go to HH, I've never been there and do want to go when the weather would be nice.

That may be a problem as I do NOT have ADR's!
I know I am tending to lean towards the HH because i love it there and the idea of planting my toucas (sp) on the beach or pool side is quite agreeable-plus if I am at WDW it would be odd to not stay at a DVC resort on property, but I am sure I could rough it!
