We are going for a week in September and hoping for free dining (but not a deal breaker for us if it doesn't happen). We are a family of 4 with 2 adults and 2 kids (6 & 9). So for us the DDP can be a great deal because we like to do a lot of character meals.
This trip we are also doing HDDR and CRT (breakfast). I've read several statements about how it is horrible to use DDP credits for these meals but unless I am missing something it seems like it would be more beneficial for us to use the credits here and pay OOP for a different TS restaurant (not a character meal). We typically like to do at least one TS meal a day but we do have one day where we have 2 booked.
Our none character meals will be Teppan Edo, Sci-Fi and Yak and Yeti (all for dinner). Looking at the menus it seems even with drinks and dessert for all 4 of us (which we probably wouldn't all order) those meals will cost us well under $200 a meal with tax and tip.
Am I missing something? In this case doesn't it make sense to use 2 DDP credits for HDDR and CRT and pay for other meals OOP instead of paying $450 for those 2 meals OOP?
