Disney Star Wars Weekends- comparing options- time share? hotel? dining plan?

I have been several times to Florida for their incredible Star Wars Weekends.  I hadn't planned on going this year but a friend of mine pointed out that Mark Hamill is going to be there.  Who is Mark Hamill you ask?  He was Luke Skywalker, beloved hero.  He is making his first ever appearance at Star Wars Weekends at Disney World this year.

It brings me to my dilemma- how can I spring on another Disney trip after I just came back from one barely three weeks ago?  Well, it's time to do some serious budgeting.  I only have two paychecks to make this trip happen.  I have April and May.  We are talking about just going for that weekend.  My friend will drive because he has a company car.  This is well and fine but leaves me having to fly since I will have school that Friday, June 6.  Ideally, I would take a red eye flight so that I could spend the entire day at the park before having to check into hotel at 4.  Obviously, this isn't an option if I have to give a final exam to students!

My favorite sites for all things Disney are Mousesavers and for budgeting Couponing to Disney 

Anticipated costs:

$400- plane ticket

Hotel

34 vacation points through my Disney Vacation Club account or should I rent my points out through David's rental system or WDW Points and use the proceeds to stay at a lower priced hotel?  I already booked a deluxe studio at Old Key West for the weekend but I could use the proceeds to stay at Pop Century and have about $90 leftover that I could use towards meals

Meals

dining plan or no dining plan is the question.  I'm a big fan of the dining plan when I travel by myself or in a small group.  When I take my husband and his kids, I prefer to try and save some money on meals by buying groceries local.

This year they are offering some unique experiences that will correspond with Star Wars Weekends

• Star Wars Dine-In Galactic Breakfast! for $47.99 which uses 2 table service dining credits
• Jedi Mickey’s Star Wars Dine at Hollywood and Vine for $55.99 which uses 2 table service credits
• Jedi Mickey’s Star Wars Dine at Hollywood and Vine with Fantasmic! for $59.99 which uses 2 table service credits

I registered for the breakfast and the dinner with Fantasmic.  It seemed silly not to spend the extra $4 for reserved seating for awesome show that is Fantasmic.  So, should we spend the money or should we use the Disney Dining Plan.  There are three different options for the dining plan.

Quick Service $41.99 includes 2 quick service meals, 1 refillable mug, 1 snack is not an option this time

Standard $60.64 includes 1 table service, 1 quick service, 1 mug, 1 snack is not an option this time

Deluxe $109.54 for 3 meals (table or quick), 1 mug, 3 snacks is what we are considering.

I'll be looking at how the meal plan versus cash stacks up since I do get discounts for DVC (Disney Vacation Club) and annual passholder. I'll post the results of my calculations this week.

Cheers!
