There’s some info going around from evidently a TA site or somewhere similar that notes a 35% room only discount for those that booked the free dining recovery offer. 35% is pretty decent, relatively speaking - should help a bit.
I don't think this is decent at all. For one thing, it means we can't keep our August dates, as we had budgeted based on free dining, and without it, we would have chosen fewer days and a different hotel. We were celebrating 3 birthdays and our wedding anniversary on that trip. This does not allow us to apply the discount to the same dates, we have to rebook for later this year (which we can't actually do with work/school schedules).
Moreover, we're a family of 5, and the value of our free dining was actually 70% of the cost of hotel stay, not 35%. So this benefit is half as good, and requires us to cancel our long dreamed-for vacation.
Boo Disney. Booooooooo.
