Is Sartoga Spr considered deluxe?

[sandymandr]

Hi! I am doing all of my cost comparisons, and possible scenarios for discounts for our 11/29-12/4 trip (you know, because I am Disney OCD, and HAVE to do something until the actual deals come out!!). Anyway, I would like to know if Saratoga Spr treehouse villa is considered deluxe for free dining purposes? Would we get the deluxe dining free? I seem to recall that values get free qs dining. But do deluxe get deluxe dining in most offers? Thanks!

The good news is , yes, Saratoga Springs is considered a Deluxe resort, but the bad news is they have never given Deluxe dining on the free dining, regardless. Sometimes people get the regular dining, or the QSDP dining on the Free Dining offer, and then pay the difference to upgrade to Deluxe Dining (so pay around $30-40 per person per night to upgrad)...but Disney has never given Deluxe Dining for free.

The current pin offer for Free Dining (for vacations thru 8/13) is less of a deal than previous offers: it gives QSDP for value & moderate resorts...regular dining for Deluxe resorts. They used to give QSDP for value, and regular dining for Mods & deluxe...at least last year's offers were that way.

IF they come out with a general public Free Dining offer for later in August-September, and/or late Fall/Winter, the speculation is that it will be like this pin code offer. Many people are still waiting for a general public Free Dining offer...

ok, thanks!! Good to know! Now I can do my calculations! I just like to know what the best deal is....of course it doesn't really matter since I will take whatever they offer I could really kick myself! I had a PIN for 40% off deluxe earlier this year for that week, but my family said they wanted to go the day it expired, and said they wanted to go the week of T-day instead to use the holiday! Now they have changed their minds......uuuggggghhhh! Oh well, I have faith!!
