Just to clarify, this is for park tickets only, not the 4/3 package including the room, correct?

Yes. So if you had a room only or were staying off-site, this might be great.

uhm - the price difference between a 4 day ticket and a 7 day ticket through disney is less than $10. Make sure you compare the prices quoted to Disney's prices.

Are you sure? It's quoted as a $40 difference per person.

Cut and pasted (as ugly as that is in this format) from the disney site. The prices include park hopper and water parks and more - these are set prices no matter how many days your ticket is but I included them because the op listed them as part of the ticket:

Magic Your Way Tickets
Magic Your Way Base Tickets give each member of your travel party entry to one Theme Park a day each day of your ticket. And now the longer you play, the less you pay per day! The average price per day for a 7-day Magic Your Way Base Ticket is less than half the price of the same single-day ticket*. It's like saving over 50%!
Ages 10+
1 Day Ticket $183.00 $172.00 $183.00
2 Day Ticket $130.00 $118.50 $260.00
3 Day Ticket $107.67 $97.00 $323.00

Right, that's before taxes.

I can get military tickets but haven't seen much of a savings, same with undercovertourist. It is a few dollar savings. However there is one ticket that was about $70 cheaper than through Disney. That may be the case with this deal - one specific one being a great savings. However, if you look at the comments on the link you sent, someone actually comments on another deal that was buy 3 get 2, yet the price was actually higher than the 5 day ticket through Disney.

Right, that's before taxes.

yes it is before taxes. I didn't think it necessary to do the multiplication for taxes. I was just trying to show that the price is so close that while getting 7 days for the price of four was cheaper than getting a 7 day ticket, it wasn't a huge savings.

4 day ticket before taxes 329 with taxes 350.39
7 day ticket before taxes 338 with taxes 359.97

I was just trying to let you know what the actual savings was. $10 is still a savings and all the little savings we can come up with will add up to something substancial in the end.

Right, so the deal price, with taxes is $332.28 for 7 days. A $28 savings per ticket. Not bad.

That's great then. I have seen lots of similar talk of free days lately that aren't nearly the deal they make it sound like. I just wanted to make sure you knew - just in case.
