Clarification please, newbie to dining plan...
hello everyone,
I could really use your help. Please forgive the lengthy post...I read about the Visa offer and have done some research on the dining plan, but I'm still unsure of the savings.
We (3 adults, 1 child age two) already planned on arriving on 12/13 or 12/14 so that works out. We are staying 6 nights at CBR and booking through Magical Journey's for the 1st time.
I've read the posts here and really could use the clarification. We REALLY aren’t familiar with the dining plan at all. We do eat at the parks and at the resorts, but I have a hard time reasoning that we would spend $63 per person every single day. Maybe I am wrong…and we’ve never been with a child or another person. Here's where it gets me...the special says it is free, but yet it says it is $63 per person per day. I think this is where I am confused, is it free or not?…the special says this:
“4 nights/5 days At a select Disney Value Resort. Only $63 per person, per day.
Total package price of $1,253 is based on 2 adults, 1 junior and 1 child in a standard room, for stays most nights 9/28-10/11, 11/9-11/22, 12/14-12/20/08.”
So how is it free? Even at $63 per person per night (why does most documentation say per night instead of per day?) that comes to more than $1,100 for 3 adults.
Am I way off or just that confused?!?!? Or am I overcomplicating things? Could it be that Disney is really giving away free dining (with plan rules) to the three of us for our length of stay? That just doesn't seem possible?
Please help!
Thanks in advance. I have until Sunday afternoon to cancel and redo my airfare if this is TRUE!!!

P.S. No, this is NOT my first Disney trip or Disney planning, but my husband and I have never done the dining package. We've been five times plus the Disney Cruise!
