Not using the DDP this year

[bluslag]

The past 2 years we have used the DDP and really enjoyed it. The first year much more so because of the tips being included and the apps also. Last year we had great meals but really missed the apps. Ordered a couple but for some reason its a little harder when you knew that you got them for free last year. This year we are taking our family and we will be down there for 2 weeks with our family coming in for our last week. We have our rooms booked at OKW because we are DVC. We don't want to have to pack up so we will be staying in our room for 2 weeks with our kids coming in and using 2 additional studios. We will be paying for most everything and we don't think this is the year to use the DDP. 2 weeks of constant food for us is to much and paying for 10 people is to much for us on DDP. We will eat out 3 nights with the family and the rest will be pizza, Earl's, Wolf Gang or maybe Rainforest. Hope we don't miss the DDP to much but I think this is the better way to go. We will have 3 little ones and don't want to be to stressed out. If someone is not up to going out or has a change of plans we want to be able to let that happen. Thinking about the DDE but don't really know much about that. Does anyone have any suggestions for dining that is for families that want a smooth happy vacation. Merry Christmas

If your family is staying in independent rooms on a separate ressie you could get the DP for them to help with your budget that second week.

You could also have someone grab groceries for the room so you can eat in part of the time. You are right, two weeks of eating out could certainly be a lot or some people.

Thanks septbaby,
I did not think of it that way. I was only thinking of us and you are right that it might help with the cost of the rest of the family. They are the ones that do most of the eating.
