Re: Free dining better than new discount packages??

Because basically, with free dining, I'm paying rack rate and saving 76/night because dining is free. It's confusing, I know...I just don't know what the discount on the beach club would be during those dates. If it's less than 76/night, and we'd have to pay that much for the dining plan, it's not worth it...make sense?? My brain is starting to hurt thinking about it all!
I think the nightly savings for the new codes is like $75 a night at the BCR...so you come out about $1 ahead in the COST to you... so as you said, you could book the free dining and pay for it...to get the discount...but it seems $7 better to keep it as is... So the dining plan, either way, is better...but the skin of your teeth...

With 2 more kids (one of our three is under 3) on the free dining... we come out even further ahead keeping the dining plan...

DOes that help?
