which deal?

[2manygirls]

I got a 20% off code or should I do free dinning. I want to go for about 9 days. Dates are flexible which is the better deal?

How many in your party? Are you planning on eating at alot of table service places? Think about how much a day per person you would spend eating. I would think Free Dining would be the better deal than 20% off. Now if it were 40% and you were staying at the POLY then maybe but 20% really isn't much.

how many people, where you are staying, how you like to eat. Check the rack rate of the resort you're staying in for the dates you are going & calculate 20% off of that rate. Then multiply the # of people you have going by the Dining rate ($38 for adults/ $11 for kids 3-9 I think) What's a bigger savings? This presupposes that you'd like to have the dining plan. We love it but others do not. Only you can decide that.

For me - we're staying at POFQ for 7 nights - 2 adults. Dining plan would cost $76 - the best code I could get (which I have NOT) would be 40% off of $150 or $60. Free Dining is the better deal (than the one I could have but have NOT received!)

There is a thread here somewhere which lists by resort & # of people what the better deals are. Sorry, too computer illiterate to post the link!!

There is two adults DD 10, DD 7 & DD 2(free) We can go at anytime to get the best deal of %20 off.

Free dining savings...

Adults are $38 and children (ages 3-9) are $10, times (X) the number of nights you stay. Since your daughter is 10, she would be charged as an adult for the dining plan.

3 adults @ $38 and 1 child @ $10 = $124 per night of your trip.

Where do you want to stay? If you stay deluxe, say the YC during free dining (value period), a waterview room will run you ~400/night. 20% of that is 80 bucks a night. Savings during a regular period would be about 100/night.

so that is value season. A 20% code at this time would yield no more than an $80 savings (give or take a few bucks) Free Dining, as stated so clearly by Rylee, would save you $124, $44 more than the 20% code. If you do want the Dining Plan and can get reservations at that time, I'd go for it. Do remember though, Sept is HOT and HUMID.
