We will probably be considering the counter service.
We've had the QSDP the last 3 times and I really like it-however, we go during free
DDP so we only payed for our DDP the first time we used it-Jan. 2005.
With the QSDP, for 4 nights with 2 adults, you'll get 16 CS meals and 8 snacks. You will also get 2 refillable mugs.
You'll want to look at the places you might be eating, what you would order normally (you might not always normally order dessert) and what snacks you would get. Total it up and see if it's more or less than the cost of the QSDP. That will help you make the decision.
Or some guests will get the DDP and then order one of the more expensive meals and desserts. Basically splurging while on vacation. What you decide and how you order is up to you. If I was paying for it I don't know if I would get it. But that's just me.
I do enjoy having it. I don't have to look at the price of an entree, I can get whatever I want-DD13 loves this too! Also we have our own (rental) car so we get many of our CS meals at DTD or other resorts. Having our own transportation makes this a breeze! No buses, or transferring.
One way we will stretch our credits is to share meals. There a many locations where you can easily do this. We have done it in the past with 3 of us but even last year when it was just my DD13 and myself, we still did some sharing. And of course there is always dessert which when brought back to the room makes a great late night snack or breakfast.
We typically don't use our credits for breakfast-not a good value. We will eat in our room items we bring from home or pick up at WM. Towards the end of the trip, after we have figured out how many credits we will have after buying food for our flight home, we will then use credits for a breakfast or two once we figure we will have plenty for the rest of the trip.
