Couldn't agree with the OP more on this. We did DxDP back in September, with the thought that we wouldn't have to pay OOP for anything on DxDP but we'd likely have to pay for some things OOP on regular DDP. While we did not pay for anything OOP, we definitely had a lot of left over snack AND meal credits. TS meals are time consuming - each one took us about an hour and a half, sometimes longer, so I can't imagine doing 3 per day. We always just picked at the appetizer and sometimes couldn't eat the dessert and didn't want to hassle getting it to go. We also made the mistake of scheduling a few meals too close together - I thought lunch at 11:30a and dinner at 6:30p would be plenty of time but we were not hungry after the big lunch until about 9pm. We used a lot of snack credits on bottled water just to use them up, which was kind of a waste considering you can get free cups of water. Also, due to the heat, it really wore on us and we just didn't want a big meal like that sometimes. After that trip, we decided we'd try regular DDP next time and then pay OOP for the one or two things we need to.
Thanks for the tips. I'd probably use it to do some signature dining. I'll keep this in mind.
