DDP with charecter meals - does that make it worth it?

[married2mm]

Math is most definitely not my strong point.
I've tried simply working out the prices of our forthcoming meals versus ddp costs and as the meals are 'guesstismates'
I'm really no further forward...

Is there an overly optimistic calculator online which could assist in my quest for optimal spending?

It doesn't account for the recent increases, and its estimated meal prices suggest that it assumes soft drinks with meals. Its estimate is almost 30% low compared to what I got by adding up menu prices and calculating tax + tips. That's a lot.

If you think you'll choose alcohol with TS meals and expect to do some buffets or character meals (which have increased in price quite a lot), add 25% or so to its estimate and you'll probably be closer to reality.

Agree with PP that this planner is no longer accurate. Not sure who created it or put it out there, but it appears they are not maintaining it and updating with new prices and entitlements.
