Yowsers! That's quite the price increase! My experience was that SSR was one of the most frustrating places to use the
DDP in general. That yogurt parfait was worth it as a snack credit, but, not nearly good enough to pay oop for regardless of price and certainly not at $4.29.
Btw, did you speak with multiple CMs? I found that one of the most difficult things with the DDP at SSR last Jan was that every CM told me something different. I had one case where I tried to get the same meal two days in a row. The first day it worked fine, everything rang up on the computer without a problem (clearly included all items on the receipt as a single QS credit), etc. The next day another CM told me that I couldn't have the dessert I'd chosen. When I said that I'd gotten it the day before she said, well I'll try the computer, then, she punched buttons and then said, 'no' it's not taking it. She ended up telling me that the ONLY allowable desserts were the bakery items. Yet, at the same time another person in my party managed to use a QS credit to get a non-bakery dessert with a different CM at a different cash.
