POP Century or my timeshare?

OK guys...I need your opinion.

I will be going to WDW from 8/23-9/2. 8/23-8/26 we had originally planned to stay at my timeshare (Vistana Resort or Vistana Villages) so we can relax and enjoy the pools and the resort activities (they have planned activities for the kids each day...Nathaniel will love it).

But then I was thinking about it....

When we stay off site, we will have to pay for food every day. And we go out to dinner every night when we are on vacation. Sometimes it's a reasonable place like Pizza Uno, and sometimes it's a nice place...more $$!

My timeshare is free...totally available with no fees. POP Century will be $82 per night for 3 nights, $246 (plus tax). HOWEVER, that includes FREE DINING for all of us!

What would you do? Stay at POP for $82 a night to get the FREE DINING, or stay at my timeshare where I will have to pay OOP for our meals the first 3 days?

I spoke to DH about it and he said POP since we will DEFINITELY eat $82 worth of food each day (quick breakie, lunch and nice dinner AND snacks). PLUS he won't have to repack the car again to change resorts!!!

I was thinking of getting the ressie at Vistana anyway, this way we could leave WDW property and spend the afternoon at the pools at Vistana. We don't necessarily have to sleep there...but if we have the room, we can use all the facilities.

So.....what would YOU do???
