If I am doing this right, you are definitely paying a premium with the package in order to guarantee race entry.
For example, using a Newport Bay room for 2, arriving 9/21 for 4 nights, on the DLP official site, it says room and 4 days of tickets is $1154. This does not include breakfast. The price goes up $232 to add breakfast to the reservation, for a total of $1386.
Using the GET Travel site, the same dates and hotel, the price for 4 nights and 3 days of tickets is $1496. (For some reason, there isn't an option that I can see for 4 nights and 4 days of tickets.)
The only differences I can see are that the GET package requires the inclusion of breakfast and includes a guarantee to get a bib, but with 1 day less of park tickets.
So, with a GET package, it looks like you are paying $110 for a guarantee of race entry and are being required to purchase breakfast. (Or looked at another way, you are paying $342 more for a required included breakfast and a guaranteed race entry.)
But I really don't want to make a reservation on DLP and then not get a bib next spring when bib-only registration opens, so . . . I don't know.
