It is going to be spotty sleep nite for me I guess.
On and off we have done free dining and paying for Dining Plan. For us it depends on our master plan for the trip. In 2016 dining at TS restaurants was a priority for my DS for our long trip and we took the free dining over a overall better deal for room only discount.. Our long trip in 2017 our priority was F&W and snacking as we were too full to do much of either in 2016. It was more of savings as we were trapped during Hurricane Irma and those dining credits during Hurricane Irma with severe limited dining choices would have been a waste. Blessed by accident.
We returned for Christmas season in 2017 without a dining plan and came out ahead as that trip was only a week and we powered the parks and did Christmas party, our goal was attractions over food and resort hopping to see Christmas as it had been many years since we did that. I love the dining plan when our trip goals are enjoying a lot of good food for that trip. Still our trips vary with planning and what we will give up to dine over accomplish. Realistically TS eats up a great deal of Park Time and commuting to Dining does also. Being a AP holder the 20% off many dining locations offset not having dining by far. I like that we mix it up trip to trip. Disney is so inconsistent in their offerings so being kinda flexible has worked for us.
Yeah, for us the dining plan works because it comes with the package and our trips are so long because we can only afford it once every several years. We can't afford to make even one trip a year with the flights over. So we do one trip, and it has to last several years, so we stay longer. It works for us. And if you are staying for 10 days, or 2 weeks, free dining makes a HUGE difference. Massive!! What really limited us on our last trip was just that DS is so picky, but we weren't sure what exactly he'd like and what he didn't, so we kept ordering things for him and then he didn't like them, so we had to go somewhere to get fries for him later. PLUS, he was only 8, so he was on the kids dining plan...otherwise we could have just ordered dessert for him in all the restaurants, but the kids one has a pre-fix dessert that comes with the meal. It was not ideal. I think the next time will be better. He just turned 10, so he'll have the regular dining plan next time, and now we know better where he will be able to eat and where we shouldn't waste a credit for him. It will work out.
We don't get room rates here ☹
The current deal is up to 4 nights free, depending on the length of your stay, etc. That's a room discount, isn't it? And it still comes with the 2 week tickets for the price of 1 week.
Between here and watching sewing videos from the other side of the pond I've started saying things such as jumper for sweater, going on holiday, pants for unmentionables, pint for beer bum for bottem
I get all the British stuff from literature. Harry Potter, Outlander, Jane Austen, etc...and one of my friends is an aspiring author and I beta read for her...she's English and lives in Ireland, so I get quite a bit of the British English from her books.
@Songbird76 the crossing to nowhere is in Breda. It is a new development but they have finished all construction so I think the crossing will just stay as it is.
Breda....that makes so much more sense. We have very bad experiences with transportation in Breda. Don't know what it is, but something always goes wrong there for us, whether it's trains, or buses or car. Everything to do with transportation there just sucks.
She was tempted but in the end she decided against it. It probably was the right choice but a sisters trip to Hawaii would have been awesome.

Awww.
I try and push pizza for 1 night now and try to avoid restaurants. I do get out voted often enough though.
