Please Help TIW or DDP

[DisneyQueen1320]

Hello Everyone,
I'm having a hard time choosing between DDP or TIW. I have a party of 5, 3 adults and 2 kids, we plan to eat a sit down meal every night and about 4 character meals along with a daily counter service during a 9 night stay.

I considered the DxDP, but we have a 3 year old and eating 3 sit downs meals everyday was to much, so we choose the DDP.

However I wonder would it be cheaper to pay and get 20% off, plus we could eat at places like Rainforest Cafe or Fulton's.

I'm not sure what to do, if anyone has any experiences with the TIW, it would help greatly.

If you had planned on buying an AP--I think the TIW makes great sense.
It can be used for food and alcholic beverages.

I have the AP in the family and we used this last TIW for a trip 11/09 with 4 adults and 3 children (6,3,2) for a 9 day offsite (Windsor Hills for the space) and didn't have to pay parking ($14 day) and ate one sit down meal per day at either a WDW resort or in the park (Including lunch @ CRT) and more than recouped the expense.

In October, it's just DH and I for a 5 day trip (onsite) and we'll use the TIW again and have booked using a PIN code right now--but may circle back around with WDW reservations to see if there's a better AP discount (though I'm not complaining aobut 40% off of BWI CL).

You can review menus on allears.net and calculate what your bill would be with the TIW discount and what the DDP costs and see which works best for you.
