The fact that you were already paying for the regular dining plan is likely what made the PSD the better deal for you. AND the fact that mod resorts get a MUCH larger discount (45% off the cost of reg dining vs. 40% off the QS plan only at value) is what made that a good call. This deal was PERFECT for you guys! Glad it worked in your favor and you were able to save money AND upgradeOur original reservation was: 1/1/19 to 1/12/19 for Pop standard room for 4 (2 adults, 2 kids both over 10) w/reg dining and 10 day/park hopper for $7,291.64. After applying PSD the package dropped to $6.367.10. For a savings of $924.54. We decided to switch our resort to CBR standard room w/5th sleeper for $6,574.20.
I was originally expecting about a $600 savings, so we are definitely happy with the final total. Good luck to everyone. Also we found the Disney Visa package was not as good as the PSD.
Oh and now you've entered the super complicated world of "What would I ACTUALLY spend in cash to eat"...After further research with the Visa discount....we are paying about $58 more a night per person for the dining. I will have to figure out if we would actually spend that much on food if we paid OOP. I do like not having to worry about food costs while we are there though. So we might be paying for the convenience.
Thanks SouthFayetteFan for all the information.

Just called and saved $203 on room only discount for 7 nights at CBR. Every little bit helps!
WOOHOO! How did it come, as a postcard or envelope? Now I will be watching my mail....of course since I already have a reservation I always wonder if they even bother....were you already booked?I also got a discount code in the mail so I called and had them compare and the new discount code would save me an additional $51 - so I had them change from the Gift of Magic discount! Total savings of $254! Yay!
I believe inventory is dynamic. I would continue to check back if you haven't found the exact room category & resort you want.Hi! Last night I found out that we'll be at Disney for 2 days in early January so now I'm scrambling to try to find a room. I'm leaning towards a standard AKL room with the visa discount. I'm wondering if inventory is fluctuating much right now? Is it worth it for me to check the website multiple times a day, or has inventory change sort of smoothed out now that the discounts have been out for a few weeks?
