She said that in her career (over 30 yrs) once they announce which resorts are not included in FD, she has never seen them retract and open it back up.

Well then, now that I'm all caught up.
I will say this, in the past, I've always casually waltzed to my mailbox, pulled out the "FREE DINING OFFER" ad, and decided to book when I felt like it. I have NEVER, EVER stalked and called the moment they open like I am this time. I think finding this board is making my hair fall out, lol!
I'd consider the extra 1k for WL, but our last stay we were hardly in the room at all. Just to get ready and to sleep. I wonder if it would be ok to just go with All Star Music?
Does anyone know what the discounts were for room only last fall? Mousesavers only has a range... not which resorts had what.
Curious if I am doing the math wrong. We have a BB offer for 35% off WL in Nov. Regular dining and 1 day ticket (we have other tickets). This seems to be cheaper than FD. It's only me and my husband.
We're traveling with 4 kids (3 of them are Disney adults) and no matter how I run numbers it's ALWAYS been cheaper for us to stay Value/2 rooms. Even when none of them were adults per Disney standards......so I'm not sure what the tipping point is when it comes to being cheaper to upgrade to a Mod. I wish I did....we never have stayed at one because I never can justify the increase in price.
The difference between 2 rooms at a Value and a Mod is a bit closer in price then it has been in years past now that our children are becoming Disney adults and that upgrade dining price increases. But still, the difference is $200.00 cheaper for POP this year versus a Mod
Do you know, did they say POR was excluded for promo or just not available your dates?

I hadn't even considered the possibility of older children! Ours are young and only cost $3ish/day to upgrade. I should still run the numbers again, because if it's only a slight increase, I'd much rather stay at CBR than any value! Thanks!!
QUESTION...
If I go deluxe resort with free dining, can I down-grade to regular dining plan? I do not know how we would be able to eat all that food... I know you can up-grade but what about the other way?

Saw they just added Harambe Nights to the Special Events page today. Is this new? I've never heard of it. Wonder if this is the reason for the OT? Tickets are on sale now.
RO discounts usually end up being a better deal than FD in the Deluxe resorts.

We are going in September, 6 of us (4 adults, and 2 children, ages 4 & 7). We were originally going to stay at POR as that is where I always stay, but my parents wanted to keep the costs down as much as possible. Since POR is sold out of Standard rooms, I used the CBR standard room rate. For 6 nights in a standard room at CBR with 6 day park tickets (no park hopper or waterpark), the cost would have been $4,312.18 (assuming free dining is offered). Going to POP now, and the cost is $3,367.26 for 2 standard rooms (assuming QSDP is offered), and to upgrade to the DDP, total cost would be $3,861.30. We would still be saving $450.88 by staying at POP...and more so if we moved to one of the AS resorts. I think when you have just one room, with older kids, moving up to the mod would be about the same price, but in our case, it works out cheaper to stay at POP. I know it's only $450...but that gives us more money to spend in the parks!!
