Okay, thought I had this all planned out and then.... Well, as of today, there's standard availability at WL for our dates. So I did the numbers on that compared to what we already have at BC. Here are the options we're looking at right now and really, really having a tough time deciding.
Details - Family of 4--me, DH, DS17, DS15. 6 nights/7 days, third week of August. All prices include 6-day park hopper.
BC - Standard Room - No dining plan - $3206, pay for all food OOP
WL - Standard Room - Free dining plan - $4,172, no extra OOP.
So it's basically $1,000 more for WL but food would be covered. We've done DP on all our trips so far, and never really needed much beyond what's included in the plan (we share some meals, have some breakfasts in the room, etc.). I know $1,000 probably won't cover all our food for the week, but I don't think the difference will be huge. Current ADRs include BOG breakfast/lunch, Via Napoli, Tusker House ROL, 'Ohana dinner, and not sure what else we'll include.
This is all assuming that the mods are only get QSDP as is rumored this year. If that's the case, the difference between upgrading to the regular plan and just going deluxe is so little it doesn't make sense not to do it. If, by chance, the mods get regular dining included for free, then it's a no-brainer for us to go that way.
Stayed at WL last year and loved it!! Have never stayed at BC. Thoughts? And why?
