Question about DDP Counter Service

[disneycat_f2008]

Hello All

Well I a getting close to booking our disney holiday now (roll of the 1st feb) well i was looking at booking into POP for our 2 week holiday but after looking I can see that there isn't that much difference between POP & the cheapest moderate resort at the moment with all the deals that are on & I know that if you book a moderate resort you get the DDP for counter service but before I make up my mind to book that & pay out the bit extra I was wondering has anyone ever done the DDP counter service & if so what is it like or if not could someone point me in the right direction to look into it a bit more.

Any help would be great, thanks guys x

We have done the regular DDP and the quick service. What we like depends on our schedule.
However if I was going two weeks, I would definitely at least get the regular DDP.
There is a great selection of quick service locations. But I do not think it would be long before you would be wishing for a regular sit down meal with some atmosphere.

We have only done the regular DDP (now 5 times) never done the QSDDP, I think we do need those TS meals but 2 weeks with a TS every day may be too much, thought we would probably do some 2TS places like Hoop-Dee-Doo and Narso---. You are getting free QSDDP with a moderate (my pick for a mod would be Riverside) POP 50's area are favorite for a value. Can you upgrade to the regular DDP. Here is what I might try. Do a split one week with QSDDP and one week upgrade to DDP. Anyway 2 weeks that is great, we did 11 nights once and I couldn't even walk the last day.

We have done both and we prefer the QSDP because we don't want to be tied down to TS meals every single day.

We liked the QS plan and found it was plent of food. Matter of fact, some of the meails were large enough for my DD and myself to split. If we felt we needed to supplment the split meal, we added fruit using one of our snack credits.

We also tried to get fruit with dinner so we could use it in the AM for breakfast along with one of our snack credits.

We are DVC members and do split stays. This allows us to do the DDP for a few nights and the QSDP for the rest of the time.

I think you have to decide how many TS meals you really want to do over the course of your 2 week stay. If you want to do more of them than not, go with DDP. If it is just a few, you can always pay OOP for those.

Good luck!
