We just got back from a 5 day trip. We purchased AP this year since we are going back 2 more times and the DDE. We saved $173.49 on meals and adult beverages!! So the card payed for itself almost 3 times ($60 for AP holders) just on this trip. So we figure on saving close to $700 on our 3 trips this year, just from the DDE card. So IMHO it is SO worth getting.
