1 Bed Villa at Boardwalk

[MK12]

Hello.

We had bagged a relatively good deal with the free dining plan offer earlier in the year at Beach Club with a regular room.

My wife saw yesterday that we could get a 1 bed villa at the Boardwalk Villas for a similar cost but without the dining plan using the 4 nights free and 20% off tickets offer. We are going with our 5 year old for 1 week at Universal, and 2 weeks at Disney.

I am trying to work out if the extra space of a villa is worth the loss of the dining plan. Our thoughts are it will give us some space after bed time if we sleep on the queen bed.

We did consider an off site villa, but I hate driving in the States.

What are people's thoughts on this?

If staying 2 weeks in BWV 1BR, you’d could really make a grocery delivery worthwhile. That could reduce your total budget so bumping up into the 1BR ends up not being a large increase in cost.

That’s what I’d compare… look at studio with the free dining total budget. Then make a budget in the 1BR with a mix of grocery/making some meals and dining out. Personally if the estimate came in anything under an extra £100/night for the 1BR I’d likely do that. Having the room to sprawl out, have food handy, do laundry in unit, etc…

But if you like the idea of eating almost every meal out then the dining plan studio might be better.
