I am trying to figure out if the DDP is really a good deal. I see a lot of positive and negative things about the plan. My questions is, for a family of 5 with (2) Adults and (3) Children ages 9, 7, and 4, is the DDP worth it?
When we went in Oct 2006, we did not do the DDP, but kids were younger and one of them was only 2. We were there for Sunday evening through Saturday morning but do not know exactly how much we spent in food/drinks/snacks. We ate QS every morning at DPC and a mixed of QS and TS through out the week. TS places were 50's Prime, Hollywood & Vine, Tony's Town Square, Rainforest, Crystal Palace w/ Pooh. QS at DPC food court and Cosimc Rays. Then the snacks and a ton of bottled water.
This June, we are staying at BWI-Club Level, so breakfast and snacks are available through out the day for us. So breakfast for the most part is covered.
We generally don't eat that big of meals, and usually choose the less expensive entrees cause we are frugal. So on the DDP, we would probably eat nicer more expensive meals than normal (like the Ahi-Tuna or Salmon vs. the Chicken Club sandwich or Cesar Salad).
The DDP is $790 for us, and I think that we minimally would break even for out 7 night stay. 6 whole days + Sat evening and Saturday morning. So $790 / 6.5 = $120/day.
Based on that, it seems worth it. If we were to eat at nice TS and a QS/day, it would run ~$150 - if we chose to eat like that.
Can some of you share your what route you went and if you know what it cost you w/ or w/o the DDP?
Thank you,
