HELP! QS or DDP?

[ariel53098]

Here is the breakdown of our family: DH, me, DS (age 7) and DDs (ages 21 months).
We went in Apr/May and did the QS and DH and I shared our meals a lot, etc and it was all good but we were through our snack credits halfway through the trip b/c the girls needed their milk and depending on the place, one milk could be enough for both girls or I would need to get two milks. I started learning the places to get milk (ie. at POR, I'd get it in the gift shop and only use one credit for the little jug because at the food court the cartons would only feed one). The breakfast worked out b/c you can get two drinks but I would get soda and my husband would only need one drink so we'd get 3 milks out of that).
Well, DH is in Iraq and my 13 year old neice who has been soooooooooooo helpful (with me paying her a nice hourly rate) wants to go to WDW. DH is military so we could use the discounted room, etc. So I crunched numbers b/c neice will pay for her ticket and her meals and DDs are free and figured why not?
Now, I can't decide what to do about the meal plan. With QS my reasoning was it was quick and we could leave at any time (ie. when the girls were getting cranky or whatever) without having to wait for a server to show back up with the check, etc. It was ok, but I have to admit I was sick of the chocolate cake dessert with the mickey sprinkles (and I didn't really want the other choices).
So, I'm thinking of the DDP b/c then the girls could get their own child plate at the ts restaurant. I'm just wondering if it's the best deal for us. Also, if I wanted, could I use a TS at a QS place if I wanted?
So, what do you think is the better idea?

If you want to use your TS on CS then I don't think you should get the plan. Check out the menus and see how you eat. Check the prices and see if it would be worth it.

I have 2 little ones, 4 years and 18 months. We did the DDP the first time. We had lots of snacks and a couple of QS left over. Honestly unless you are going to do alot of character dinners, and this is your first time, I would say go with QS. We are going back in July and are going to do the QSP.

If you choose the DDP, than your twins would eat for free @ character buffets and get milk. You have to decide if you would spend as much on counter service meals. When my daughter was under 3, we would order yogurt and apples or fries for our dessert @ CS, and she would have those for lunch. We would do alot of buffets because you don't have to wait for food.
