Opinions please: DDP VS TIW

[omalley1118]

Hey everyone!!! We have gone to WDW about 7 times. We ALWAYS have used the "traditional" ddp; 1 counter, 1 sit down, 1 snack. Last trip in May, it seemed like too much food... Not sure why this time... We are going for a combo wdw/vero trip in November. This is a first for us; generally we spend 7-9 days at the parks. So, after my long-winded intro, I am looking for opinions. Would it be better to try Tables in Wonderland? Counter DDP or the DDP we usually use??? I have to crunch some numbers, but I would really like to hear others' pros and cons. Thanks so much in advance!!!

Last year was our first trip without using the DDP and it was LIBERATING! We still found we had TS for at least one meal 6 out of 8 nights but we sometimes ordered apps for entrees if that is what we wanted. We split a couple of meals. We didn't get dessert and then would pick up a cupcake or something from a vendor at one of the parks. We are getting our first TIW card for our upcoming trip. We actually have been buying Disney Gift cards and will be taking those with us to pay for the TIW card and our actual dining. We also like that beverages of the adult variety are part of the discount on the TIW card. We were very nervous about going without the DDP the first time but to be honest we don't think we will get it again. I say try it once and see what you have to loose (or gain in money saved as is our case).

Do you normally use TS only? Does anyone in your party drink alcohol?
We actually do a combo of DDP and TiW especially when we go in October for F & WF
