Got A Pin Code Today
Well, how many of us are rushing to the Mail Box hoping for that Pin Code Post Card to help with an upcoming Disney Trip with either Room Discounts or the most cherished FREE DINING offer. When pulling the mail out, there it was....Mickey conjuring up two great offers to help you enjoy another WDW vacation. Up to 35% off WDW Resorts and Free Dining.
We are planning for an early Fall trip so the dates on the Pin would cover a Room Discount but would not cover the Free Dining yet. Guess were still going to hold off waiting on the Free Dining that historically come out in August.
What would you choose, Room Discount or Free Dining?

We would choose the room discount (if deep enough). We just don't eat enough food to get our money's (or savings) worth out of the DDP. I do enjoy trying new restaurants, but we find we save more $$ overall by using the room discounts when they are big enough.

Unless you're in a value resort with at least 3 adults (age 10+) a room discount is almost always the better value than "free" dining. I'll take the room discount any day. The Tables in Wonderland card makes it where the DDP isn't even close to a good value for us anyway.

We like to do table service meals as well but have found that we make out better with a room discount and paying out of pocket for our dining.

It provides a nice discount on food and drinks at many restaurants. However, you need to qualify in order to get the card (annual passholder; vacation club member; Florida resident).

Figureswe start our trip Sep 28th...but maybe a new one will come out before then, or at least the free dining. But to answer the question, I'd opt for free dining over the room discount.
