WL 40%off room only vs 700 gift card package?

[saradela]

I really need advice soon....I booked a 5 nite ressie at WL for 40% off, last week, today, Disney is giving 700 dollares free gift card with package. Please somebody tell me wich one is a better deal. Olso for values.

We ran the numbers for Poly for our May trip and saved much more taking the room discount. I think it is about even for a Mod. Didn't run the numbers for a value...

For 5 nights only, the GC is a better deal than the room discount for a value (provided you subtract the value of the GC from the total cost & compare that to the room discount deal).

I crunched some numbers for our trip at WL in this thread:

I'm undecided too what I should do.

I decided this morning to switch from the room discount to the $750 GC because....

We had AKL standard view (same price as your WL) for 5 nights and 6 day PH tickets for $1785 and I budget $100 per day for food...

Now I have AKL standard view for 5 nights and 6 day PH tickets for $2257, a difference of $472, but since we would be spending at least $500 of food, I'm ahead a bit, but I also spend money for souvenirs so I'm really ahead $278 $750 - $472. At least that's my view, plus, I won't feel like we have to keep that close to the $500 food budget. I'm just happy that we have this decision to make since I really wasn't counting on ANY discount!!!

It turn out that is a better deal the gift certificate on values, like 30 dollars, but then, I have to pay by june 11, $300 hundred dollars more that I didnt expect to pay, to be able to collect the 35 dollars over there. To be able to pay those $300 hundred dollars more before june 11, would mean less food right now, so I am going to go with the discount. Thanks to all of you for the information.

were staying at the cabins and used the qny code, they gave 35% off our package even though we didn't buy into the dining package so we got $780 off the price, can't complain about that
