2 rooms. 6 adults. What ddp to share?

[eeyoresmom]

We will have 2 studio rooms at OKW next March. It will be myself and DH in one room and 4 young adults in the other. I need some help figuring out how to share the ddp ( and which one) amongst the group. I know either way we will do some oop. We have 7 nights/8 days and would like to do 4-5 ts dinners. Would you do 2 people on the deluxe plan and share credits? 4 on the regular ddp? I could also book 3 in a room if that makes more sense. I know I can always go all oop but we want to do some of the most expensive buffets so ddp may save us some money.

A lot depends on which restaurants you want to eat at and whether or not you tend to order beverages and desserts. We have a trip with 7 people on the dining plan and two people without dining credits who will be joining us for some of the meals. I've calculated how many credits we need for the most expensive meals, then assigned the rest of the credits to the biggest eaters who are most likely to get a beverage and dessert. We have three meals with everyone using the dining credits and two meals with 6 people sharing 3 credits.

You just have to crunch the numbers to figure it out. The meals with entrees in the $20 or less range will be out of pocket. The expensive dinners like 'Ohana and Cape May, which are approximately $40 per person, will be the ones we use dining credits for.

If you do the DxDDP, then you also get an app with every meal, so that would help in having enough food. With 7 nights and 2 people, you would have 42 TS credits to use. You would also have 28 snacks. I think I would go with that one over the regular plan.
