I´kinda confused about the free dining.
We are gonna stay at wdw in the beginning of September.
2 adults.
I see that Animal Kingdom Lounge has this great rate @ 150$ night,with pool view.
So when i book 6 night,the total cost are about 1021$ Inc,all taxes.
If i book this with 7 day magic your way tickets,the add for two persons will be little over 500,inc tax. for the tickets.
So,Question: Now my total cost are 1530$. This include :
6 nights. AKL,pool view and 7 day MYW tickets.
--------
If i book this with FREE dining, the cost will be 2190$.
(i do see that Disney change the nightly cost from 150 a night,to, 250 a night,when you book without this free dining package,but,,,,you can book the 150 a night price an any hotel web cite,for hotel only[/URL])
So,again, can someone please let me know whats so great with this free-dining,that everyones talking about.
I can´t find anything free in this, just an 700$ add,for 6 days of dining for two people.
Your room, tickets and dining plan when booked with the 'free dining' promotion are $2190.
Your room, tickets and dining plan when booked with the 40% off promotion and PAYING for dining is $2117.86.
So you actually save more money by booking the 40% off promo.
I get what the op is saying, free dining ISN'T really free. It's somewhat deceptive. What we all know, and what we're sharing with the op, is that for ANY 'deal' you have to do the math. Compare apples to apples. See which is less expensive, sometimes the 'free' deal is NOT the best one...and the op is right that this isn't 'right'.
