Sorry...missed that.
I guess I have expensive taste! I tend to eat at the buffets (almost $40 per person) or choose the most expensive meal on the menu - not purposely...they just seem to appeal more to me. So, for some famlies (not all) the DDP can be a great savings. All depends on the eating practices of your family.
Totally agree. And with the diversity of Disney dining offerings, there are so many different ways that a family can eat.
For some of those families, the DDP is economizing.... and it can translate to fairly significant savings (20% or even a bit more).
For other families, the DDP can actually steer you away from meals that are far more satisfying and more of a value.
