Okay, here's the deal. I'm traveling solo. I have a garden view room-only rate at POFQ with approx 20% discount for 9/29-10/5. For 6 nights, with tax, etc., that comes to approx $1,000. I already have a Weekday Select Pass voucher which I will exchange upon arrival for the pass. The one-year clock on the pass starts 9/29.
By contrast, I just priced on the WDW website a garden view for POR with the same timeframe on the free dining plan. Six nights is $1,600. But I would need to purchase additional tickets, right? Even though I already have an AP. So let's say I purchase a Florida Resident 3-day ticket. With tax, that comes to another $222. So, now we're up to $1,822 with free dining.
With my room only rate of $1,000, I would need to spend up to another $800 in dining for myself to match the "free dining" plan. I think I come out better paying for the meals I want, even with several ADRs, including LeCellier and HBD, and grazing F&W booths.
What do others think?
