Help Me Decide--DDP or OOP

[mlnbabies]

We are doing a split stay so I will have to have 2 different plans. We are 4 Disney adults. We will be at the GF from 12-7 to 12-12. Then we are at POR from 12-12 to 12-14. We like to eat a good breakfast, snack for lunch and good dinners. TIA

These are the ADR's that I have booked.
12-7 1900 park fare dinner
12-8 CP for breakfast and BOG for dinner
12-9 Rose for lunch with the Candlelight package
12-11 Sci Fi lunch and hopefully Vine dinner with Minnie
12-12 AK day
12-13 CRT breakfast and BOG lunch.
12-14 leave

Out of pocket.

Four adults makes it a pretty easy decision, but the meals you have planned are mostly not worth the credits. You'll do much better paying out of pocket.

If you go with a plan, you already have 8 TS credits spoken for through the 11th. With the regular DDP, you would only have 5 through the 12th, so that's a lot OOP already. If you went with the DxDDP, you would need to plan 4 more TS through the 12th to try to break even.

I agree with supersnoop. You'll do better OOP.

Thanks for the help. I am leaning toward OOP. I really don't want to add anymore TS meals.

OOP really makes the most sense financially from what you've said. Is there a reason you're still undecided?

I guess I'm still undecided since I know that we will still be eating more quick service meals so I am making sure I'm not missing something.

You said your family enjoys a good breakfast, so I think you'll want some QS breakfasts which are terrible values on the plan. With your ADRs, you'd have to be getting the more expensive QS meals to have a chance at breaking even.

OOP is so much more flexible too! Eat your meal at one location and get your dessert somewhere else or skip the non-alcoholic beverage when all you really want is a cocktail or split 2 desserts between the 4 of you.

Thanks so much. We will go OOP.
