Sharing dining plan?

[hodad]

Have you booked your rooms yet? How familiar are all your friends? What do they think about slumber parties?

Instead of:
Room 1: A1, A2
Room 2: B1, B2, b3, b4
Room 3: C1, C2, c3, c4

You could do the following:
Room 1: A1, B1
Room 2: A2, b3, c3, c4
Room 3: B2, C1, C2, b4

Room 2 gets the deluxe dining plan for $216.43/night.

That's 10 dining credits per day at $16 per credit, plus 7 free snacks per day and 4 free refillable mugs. To put that in perspective, it would cost you about the same as everyone buying 1 quick service meal and 1 snack per day. And with the room switcharoo, at least one person from each family has the dining plan. The one limitation is that B1, B2, C1, and C2 can't use the dining plan unless their kids (or couple A) are present.

*As people have pointed out, this is subject to change at any time, but I doubt it will before the end of 2017.

How would tips and alcohol work? Could room 1 and 3 charge their own stuff to their individual rooms? Seems like for a little hassle, there could be a big savings!

I made an excel spreadsheet that you can use to calculate your savings and how much each family will contribute. It doesn't take into consideration taxes or alcoholic drinks, all of which you would have to figure out on your own. But it gets you close!
