I have booked a 4/3 package for this Junejust me and ds 12. I did do the DDP last July (liked it, esp since everything was prepaid) and purchased the TIW card this past January (it waas a quick trip and we could use the TIW at the Pop century food court)
I can't seem to decide what to do this trip-

PRO DDP:
1) I can't use TIW card at WL Roaring forks (where we are staying)
2) ds is very picky (he is 12 and adult costs) so some buffets were a good idea for us... and there is that extra surcharge... which we wouldn't notice if I got the DDP

OR: just use TIW and I really don't need a TS w dessert, CS w dessert ect... would eat less if it wasn;t already paid for...

DID any of this make sense? what should I do?
and oh yeah, what is the cut off time to add DDP?

get the DDP with TIW. The DDP is up to 30% off and you'll get 20% off with with TIW anyway, aside from Roaring Forks. I'd be concerned that I'd focus on absolutely maximizing DDP to account for not using TIW and let that dominate trip planning rather than the trip itself.
 
I think you really need to crunch the #s to see if it makes sense. Figure out where you will most likely be eating and what you would order. Add that up, deduct the TiW discount for the places you can use it and see what you get. Compare that to the price of the DDP per day.

Edited: I think it's 48 or 72 hours before arrival for adding the DDP.
 
thank you both---I think I might stick with the tiw only- that way sit down meals I could get 2 app instead of a meal or an app and a meal (skip dessert)... I like the pre pay part of the ddp but didn't like the needing to make adr for each day-- I know I need to... but if I want to cancel one, I can. And not feel obligated to use the TS...
