Better? room disc or disc dining?

[MITCH 112198]

Which value would be better:

Value resort the room discount at 25% for 5 days
or
the discounted dining?

With the Visa card. Just checking my mom is going in beginning of March and trying to save her some money. oh yeah 2 adults are going

This is like asking "Which is better? A cruise to the Bahamas or a trip to Europe?" It all depends on a myriad of factors. You need to look at menu's, determine what places you'd like to eat at, and then tally up the cost. Then compare that to the DDP and then see how much you'd save. THEN, compare that amount to the amount you'd save with the room discount. Dizzy yet?

Something else to look at w/dining vs room discounts is ages of travelers. I was talking to my supervisor about this a while back and while we've come out farther ahead with room discounts, he has 3 children to my 2, two of his kids are old enough to qualify as "adults" or "juniors," plus there are considerations with their dining preferences and having one more person in their party. In a nutshell, free dining is the better deal for them. So, you really need to look at what's the best deal for your situation/circumstances.

We are staying a POP in Dec with the free dining. I called Disney when the room discounts came out to make sure I was getting the best deal. We are saving so much more with the free dining. The Disney travel agent said that you usually save more money with the free dining than the room discounts with the value's but I would still check to be sure!

All depends where you like to stay etc. if you stay at value your probably better with free dinning but if you stay at Deluxe resorts or Deluxe Villas usually the room discount is better at least for us it is. Like everyone said just gotta do the math and see which one is better for you.

Discount dining or free DDP? If you are talking free dining then I think that pays off better for a moderate or deluxe stay. Did the math once upon a time and if I remember it tipped the scales slightly better than the rack rate discount. I am unsure about discounted dining though, I have not heard of that offer.

There is no one size fits all correct answer. Because the dining discount varies by resort and party size you have to do the math to find out which one is better.

There is just two of us and the room discount is always the better pick. With larger families the free dinning would work better.

one or two people, room discount is a better deal. Three or more is when FREE dining makes more sense!
