Should we do free dining or not?

Dilemma--this was not a planned trip, but the idea of free dining and the F&W Festival caught my attention. We will be at WDW in November for 10 days anyway. This is the deal:

2 adults
Sept 29-Oct 2--All Star Sports
Free dining and one-day hoppers (convert to AP)
$461.00

or

2 adults
All Star Sports
Airline Employee Rate
$136.00
no free dining (but I do have DDE card) and we'd either use the two one-day hoppers that I have from an auction I won, or go ahead and purchase annual passes anyway.

One thing to consider is $202.00 of package price is for the hoppers that can be used towards AP price anyway--no loss there.

We do dine at sit-down restaurants every evening, and would probably use two points for one night at Yachtsman's or California Grill.

I can't decide which is a better deal.

If you take the 202 away....that makes it 259....okay....so for $120 you guys eat for the entire stay inc tax and tip......I think it's a no brainer.

I would go with the FREE DINING ! We were set to go in October and moved to September to get the FREE Dining. Can't pass that up. I started to track how much money we spent on meals last year, but had to stop - - it was adding up way too fast. We are going to be saving hundreds of dollars. Just think about the $2 / $3 snacks - those add up.
