Restaurant critque, should I go with DDP?

[ErinInCT]

I NEVER choose DDP for my family as we hate to be slaves to an ADR and we always go back to our DVC room for breakfast and lunch that we buy at Publix on the way, but I am taking my nieces and nephew for what will probably be their only trip to Disney and wonder if I would save money with DDP. Staying in a 2br at BLT.

Here is my meal plan (me 51, sis 50, sis 48, niece 13, nephew 12 and niece 9):

Arrive Sun June 18 - Dinner at 1900PF
Mon June 19 - Sci Fi lunch, Biergarten dinner
Tues June 20 - BOG breakfast, H&V fantasmic dinner pkg
Wed June 21 - Akershaus breakfast
Thurs June 22 - No planned meals, but if we do DDP we may go back to BOG since it is an expensive CS restaurant and want to get most bang for our buck. I have an ADR that I will either keep or cancel.

So that leaves Mon breakfast (could eat in room if we got groceries delivered), Tues lunch (could eat in room as we will likely take mid day breaks), Wed lunch and dinner (would likely always eat dinner in a park but could do lunch in the room) and all meals Thurs which dinner would for sure be in MK as we want to do the fireworks show our last night. Since most of my planned meals are expensive buffets I'm thinking the DDP might be a good way to go.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

If a family attends many Character meals that are 1-credit and otherwise costly buffets and Dining Packages that are 1-credit, DDP may work monetarily.

As much as it pains me to say it - you look like a good candidate for DDP.

'Google' an online calculator to help you with the math.

Based on that list, yes, I think the DP would be a good choice on this trip.

Looks like you'll definitely save some money and the kids can have TWO Mickey bars every day!!

Agree it will work out for you, but you might want to pay Sci Fi OOP... it's the only one that's a bad value.

Peco Bill at MK is also a good CS value (if you've had enough of BoG by that point)
