This was confimed by our pricing theoritical vacations on line with Disney - changed dates, resorts, DDP and DxDDP and came within $2 of the above prices for 3A, 1C for 7 nights. I figure the difference was resort taxes. Room with and without DDP and room with and without DxDDP was consistent with above. (When the ad came on email that I could save up to 30% on DDP with AP ressie, I got excited - but it's not an AP discount, rather it's the standard "save up to 30% on DDP" vs paying OOP for all that food at the highest entree cost possible... We don't eat out every night so are better off with DDE than with DDP, unless we get "free dining...")
True! When the info first came out that AP holders could not get the DDP without having to buy a one day ticket, I called and added the basic DDP to my May ressie. It was $37.99/day. I called a few days later to change it to the DxDDP and was charged an extra $32.00/day ($69.99/day total).
Know what your totals should be before you call though. When I called to add the DxDDP the CM gave me a higher price than $32.00/day. We finally figured out he had included travel insurace, while the first CM had not. Adding the DDP changes your 'room only' to a pkg and the CMs will add travel insurance if you are not careful.
