Hi Sarah -- a few "perspective" ideas from a "frequent eater" on
DDP.
My recommendation is
not to worry about maximizing the yield on DDP.
Maximize your fun for your family.
Five years from now, your lovely daughters will not remember that they got a dinky Fish & Chips at Yorkshire...or didn't.
A bottle of water for a snack credit is a lousy value for a snack credit...but it might be
exactly what your dancer wants. Give it to her. (My all-time
best use of a snack credit was for water on a blistering day.)
Don't waste your time worrying about "maximizing value."
Worry about when you're going to do a Living Legacy photo(s) at Epcot -- so the girls can show
their kids their Disney trip. Don't worry about where you're going to eat lunch.
Plan your TS meals to maximize the girls' experience at Disney -- not to get the biggest bang for the buck.
Don't plan your CS meals -- don't let them rule your itinerary. Go where you want to go, and eat where you want to eat.
Have a
great trip...and the food will take care of itself.
