I did make a basic cost comparison, but it doesn't even begin to cover each room category at each place. I have a bottom line number where it makes more sense to switch to renting points and just use the free tickets I already have. If I can't get free dining at one of the mods in the lower category rooms, (no pirate , no royal), then the next best option is Room Only at CBR with the gift cards (if rooms are left at that point), then next is renting points at OKW (which Dh doesn't dislike, but doesn't love).
I keep whining about the exchange rate for Canadians but it's so awful right now, and slated to get worse. I have to be very careful not to blow through my budget. My $3600 package is already costing me $5000
. I can't go much higher or I need to go offsite. We love offsite but we really wanted this to be an onsite trip and all the restaurants that we've not been to in years.
C'mon free dining
