Questions about FD and changing current reservation

[Nami]

Alright, we already have reservations in a value resort for a week in Sept and have the DP package added to the reservation. If FD is offered as an option for our week, would I be able to change to a moderate hotel and remove the paid version of the DP in order to obtain free dining or would I need to cancel my current reservation an re-book?

(I think more than likely, I am going to keep my current reservation and see if I can find a room discount for what we already have booked but I want to be well informed either way as this is our first trip to WDW.)

Also, do you have an opinion on the best way to go? We really only plan to use the room to sleep and any pool will do for my kiddo so I don't need a bunch of amenities and my DS6 probably would like the All-Star sports theme a lot.

Also, would it just make better financial send to get FD in my current value reservation and pay the upcharge to the regular DP?

I think I'd rather save a few bucks rather than upgrade right now.

For reference, were scheduled at Sports from 9/20-9/26

Thanks for any information and advice!

If I did the math correctly, it will be cheaper to stay at the value resort and upgrade to the DDP than to switch to CBR. The switch to CBR will cost $534.10 for the higher room cost. The upgrade from the quick service plan to the DDP for 2 adults and one child will only cost $257.70. So it is cheaper to stay where you are.
