the way we are able to experienc e the dining plan (and the fine TS restaurants) yet keep the cost down and avoid food overload:
we purchase the package with dining through our AAA agent for 4 days, but with enough tickets for an 8 day stay (usually 6 day tickets, since we do a water park one day, and do not go anywhere on "transfer" day). then we transfer to another resort (room only reservation with AAA discount) for the remaining 4 days. that way we don't have to purchase the package for our entire stay. disney transfers your luggage for you, and you get to exper. 2 resorts!
since the plan is good till midnight of checkout (at the 1st resort). we have a nice dinner at the 2nd resort check in night. then use leftover snack credits for a box of donuts, (and other snacks that will keep)to use at our 2nd resort when we are paying OoP.
in may we will be 4 nights a CBR, then on transfer day we will enjoy the pool a little more, move over to CS, explore the resort, take a swim,dress for drinks and dinner, and enjoy the Maya grill, still on the plan.

This was our final decision as well, and I feel great about it. We booked 3 nights at Pop with DDP and 10 day tickets, and then we're moving over to Orbit One (off property). We can get a "taste" of the DDP without feeling like it's taking over our entire trip. I'm pleased with our choice and looking forward to it.
