I plan on using it to go to the park on arrival day. We are going for 4 nights, 5 days, and have 3 days each left on old hopper passes, so originally weren't planning on doing a park on arrival or departure day. We only paid a total of $200 more for the dining package w/ the 1 day pass (for 2 adults) than we would have for the room only w/ aaa discount, so now we get to go to the park the day we arrive, plus all that food! No wasting a hopper on a day when we'll only have time for 1 park anyway.
