I do that and daughter does it.. Food has gotten too expensive there anymore. Room discount is not worth as much as the free dining no matter what. But then again not many places worth eating there anymore on the full dining plan. Better to pay out of pocket and pick and choose your meals.. Or last year saw so so many with their own food at tables making sandwiches.. Sorta ad as it was family's who should be there with their kids have to do that.. But if that's they only way they could come then so be it we don't judge anyone why they pay 600.00 night to sleep verses getting free meals. yes it is free when they stay at values. WHICH by the way they stay Disney values, not the mods or deluxes. Values show the themes of what Disney is all about but thats our opinion on hotels... I will pass it along to DD
