POR - Preferred room
3/29/11 - 4/8/11
10 days w/ Park Hopper, Water Park & More Fun and No Expiration
Free Dining
Insurance
3A/2C (my 13 yr. old is considered an adult w/pricing)

Rack Rate: $8,082.88
Discounted price w/Free Dining: $6,156.28

Savings: $1872.60
The savings makes getting the No Expiration beneficial for us. We'll continue saving over the next few years because we won't have to "add on" the Water Park & More Fun when we go .

Free dining would have been awesome for us. October 22-29. 3 disney adults/2kids.
30% off POR plus buying tickets through UT saved us $473.
Purchasing the dining plan would have cost well over $900.
We are only doing 2-3 sit down meals but not sure we can eat the whole week for only $473. Would have been nice to let the kids order what they want and not worry about the price, making them get water/pack snacks. etc.
But since I already bought my tix through UT I cannot switch to free dining. Bummer!

December 16-23
2 standard rooms at POP w/PH + QSD + insurance

• Rack Rate 1st room room 2A + 1 C (11y)= $2629.89, 2nd room 1A + 2C (11Y) = $2559.94; grand total = $5189.83
• Originally booked with 40% room rate discount PIN 1st room = $2367.46, 2nd room = $2286.00; grand total = $4653.46 (original savings = $536.37)
• Booked with QSFD 1st room = $1,889.10, 2nd room = $1,822.12 grand total =$3711.22 (additional savings = $942.24)

Total savings with FD from rack rate = $1478.61

I am even more excited now!!! While doing this comparison changing from my 40% PIN to the FD, I thought I had just saved a total of $471 but I just realized that I saved $471 per room!!!

Maybe I will call and upgrade to the DDP! If I do that, I would still save $480! what to do, what to do

We had reservations for September 28-October 8th with the Kids Stay and Play promotion and were anxiously awaiting Free Dining! Well.....the dates didn't exactly match so we thought about having 2 reservations one with our initial discount then one with FD. After speaking with the CM she said it was actually going to cost $83 more! So I was getting ready to get off the phone and my husband told me to just ASK about the FD that ended September 24th so I did. Now we are staying 2wks for only $12 more than our original package! I can't stay home for $12! So it looks like we will be there for 2 WHOLE weeks! Soooo not what I had planned, but how could I pass it up?

We'll be there at the same time! Here's hoping that this means they expect a less crowded spring break?
