If TIW was N/A would you get DDP?

Many people have stated that TIW works better for them than DDP. We are going during Xmas and TIW usage is blacked out for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Was considering getting DDP during that time since it does suit the way we eat. What are your thoughts?

I would not do that just because 2 days are blocked out unless your trip is very short. We have used our TIW card on trips that involved blackout dates. Missing a 20% discount on only a few meals wouldn't make the DDP any more appealing to me. We still were able to use it for the majority of our meals.

If the loss of savings on those 2 days is going to make up for the cost of the plan for the entire trip, then there's no harm it in. Otherwise, it won't be worth it.

Remember that all the plans are length of stay, you cannot buy them for only 2-3 days of your trip without doing split stays, which start to get confusing (especially for this case, unless you are arriving or departing on one of those blackout days).

I should have mentioned before that we are staying 5 nights and are staying at DVC split stay - not what I planned but that's the availability. Was actually thinking of DxDP for 2 nights and DDP for 3 since we are doing character lunch on some days and would need a late dinner.
