Disney Dining Plan - Help?

[tinkerbellsaratoga]

I will be traveling with 5 people in November to our home base at SSR. Due to the nasty changes made to the dining plans, we need to know which one we should budget for? Please let me know your opinions and price per plan popcorn:: I look forward to your responses.

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question. Are you asking which plan, DxDP or DDP you should budget for?:confused3

You need to share more info for anyone to help. Best thing to do is make a grid of what you plan on eating, the general cost then compare it to the cost and benefiots of DxDP and DDP

I think she's referring to gratuity. Where will you be eating? How many adults/children? I would estimate 15-20% per table meal. If you'll average $100 per meal and eating 7 table meals, you should allow for or budget for $140 in tips (to be safe). You don't have to tip 20%, but I'd rather err on the side of too much (for budgeting) than too little.
