Which is better? S/P/D or Free Dining

[LynJ]

We have free dining arriving Dec. 20. Now I see S/P/D is out for the same date, and I know that also impacts ticket prices. Does anyone know which is the better discount (moderate, 9 nights, 9 day PH)?

(Currently on hold waiting to see if there's any possibility ot further reducing prices).

You have the better discount for sure. If they are discounting the adult ticket - it is only 20.00 difference from a child. Not a big deal.

Thanks for the feedback. Around the same time you posted, I got through to Disney. Turned out I needed to chat with them anyway, since they have my correct address but the automated system was confused with my old address. So double checking everything was useful anyway.

In case anyone else is curious, here's the price differential:

Coronado springs, standard view. 9 nights, 9 days PH. Dining+ MM

Free dining: $4034.84
S/P/D : $4593.88

I'm keeping my free dining.

Thank you so very much for posting this LynJ! I am already booked 12/15-12/19 with free dining, and was wondering if the S/P/D promo would be better. I kind of didn't think anything could beat free dining. Nice to know for sure.

Calling Disney lately has proved to be VERY time consuming. Last week I called simply to see what the price difference would be if I tweeked my dates a bit, and I was on the phone for 51 minutes! The first person, after 10 minutes, realized she couldn't help me, and I needed "guest services" (uh...isn't that what I just called?!), then I had to wait on hold another 10-15 mins for that person. Then there were "slow computers", etc. Wow....what a call. The call before was equally as painful. Hopefully this is just random bad luck. I'm already disappointed with Disney and how much they've raised their rates. We used to stay in deluxe....now that's impossible. (sorry for the rant....)
