Do you buy DDP for child under 3?

[molly2004]

There will be 4 of us: DH, me, DS2, DS2. I'm debating whether we should buy one for our twins to share. We are not going during free dining, so that's not an issue. I know that there will be plenty to go around at TS meals. CS meals might not be enough for the 4 of us. We could probably use snack credits to get bakery goods to save for breakfast the next day, so it'll be nice to have enough for us all. We may or may not use all the child TS credits, depending on the boys' mood.

Has anyone done this? Did you find it a waste of credits to buy DDP for 2 year olds? More importantly, was it a waste of food? Is it worth the extra ~$15 per day (after tax, we're going in 2007, so prices will probably be higher).

Thanks for your help!

Kids under 3 eat free at buffets, all you can eat, and pre-plated restaurants so I really don't get why anyone would buy the dining plan (and a one-day base ticket) for a child under 3.

Regardless, the price is $10.99 now and I just can't imagine it will be $15 by next year.

We will not necessarily eat at buffets or family-style places, and it is my understanding that they do not eat free at other restaurants. TS are NOT my concern. It was more having enough for CS meals and snacks and the occassional TS where they don't want what we eat.
