Would you rather have free meals or great room only rate

[Jockaroo]

I'd rather have a great room rate. It is just 2 adults going and we each have A.P. tickets already. I don't think I'd like to stuff myself at my meals and have my schedule planned around eating. Hubby and I often share meals because the portions are so large, especially if we each get an appetizer. It is just too much food to eat and then slog around a hot park.

For families with children, I can understand that the free dining can be a good deal.

Free meals

My vote is for the free food!

Definately FREE FOOD!

We had the free dining in October & it saved us well over $1000. We got to dine at restaurants we would never have thought of..It was great. Wish Disney would offer it again!

Have you ever notice that food always taste better when someonelse is paying for it?

free food. We are apying rack rate at AKL and paying for dining. I'd love to have the free food since I can't get dining with a room only reservation!

I would definately want the free food. The free dining plan saved us close to $1200 on our recent September trip!!

Free Dinning hands down!
Especially now that I have to pay for 4 Adults if we want the plan.
I've used the plan twice now and LOVE it...

Definately the free dining!! That food really does add up. My DH and I saved about 500 dollars because of it in September!

So I can go more often. We eat out a lot anyway...so eating out at Disney is no big deal.

GREAT ROOM RATE!!!!
We stay in the cabins with 2 adults 3 teens and a 7yo (also getting 2 other cabins for family @the same time) We will save tons of money by(gasp) cooking our own food! We eat out too, but we make them big meals like the hoop-de-do or a character breakfast so the room only rate would save me tons!!!!

Even for just two adults the value of free dining is likely to exceed any room only discount.

I think the meal plan is a good deal so my vote would be whichever gave me a lower overall cost.

Great Room Rate

Room Room Room! I can always save money different ways for eating, I already am a DDE card member

First, with two older children with large growing appetites this was the perk that sealed the deal on last Septembers Trip.
Second, Food and Wine festival took snack credits! WOOHOO!
Third, we had the luxury of dining in places we have never considered before due to tight food budgets in the past. For us, to throw down 250$ for a dinner show was a strain on our pocket since we are eating out all week. I like to have as much paid for prior to going and this was quite the incentive.

No clue when I may go back

free dining and staying at a value resort. We gave up a CM rate room of 50% off in September to get the free dining. We paid an extra $350 for our room (because we had to buy 4 one day tickets) and saved more than $2000 in dining for our 10 day stay.
