SO do I wait and hope for free dining or do I change my current booking for guaranteed savings NOW?
I currently have a non-discounted package: 6 nights ASMu (8/22-8/28), 6 day base park tickets, and DDP for 2 adults. Total is $2695. A rack-rate room and 6 night park hopper tickets (cuz that's what I'd need for FD) through Disney comes to $1789. The same room through Orbitz and 6 day base park tickets from UT comes to $1442.
SO:
$2696 for room, tickets, food from Disney, rack-rate.
$1789 for room, tickets, food from Disney, rack-rate w/FD ($347 cheaper- but will I GET FD?)
$1442 for room, tickets. $1253 cheaper but I'd need to buy food.
I ran the numbers for free dining and it comes pretty close to even because of the adult beverage that's now included with FD. The budget-side of me is looking at the numbers and saying "Orbitz/UT." The lazy side of me is tempted for the free dining, because it's done and paid for- but what if I don't get it? Then we are paying Disney a LOT. OPINIONS??
