Should we try DDP this time?

[Eeyorerocks!]

We've never tired DDP. This trip we are doing a split stay - SSR (8 nights) and BLT (5 nights) - our first trip Home

It will be me, DH, DD and DS (both 10) and DS2 (19 months - I know we don't pay for him, but just for info).

I thinking about trying DDP (regular) for the 5 night part of the trip. Not sure how much cooking we will do. Also, since 2 of our kids would be "adults" if we did DDP, not sure whether it is worth it, but I am intrigued by the idea of trying it. We usually do a couple of character meals, and 1 TS a day, though we will do Cali Grill during this part of our trip OOP since I think we may prefer to share some appetizers. We are all good eaters except DD, who is picky. Our younger son is usually good about eating in restaurants, though babies are always unpredictable

Any thoughts on whether we should try DDP on this part of the trip?

Thanks

Wish you had tried it when the kids were children on the plan. You need to lay out the list of places where you'd eat with the DP. If your total matches the DP, get the DP. Keep in mind after a day or so you love the plan you could add it to the second ressie, just has to be 72 hrs ahead.

I do think it would be nice to have the DP while at BLT, very convenient to things.

I have done the DDP a couple of time with the kids. We are doing it again in Sept. for the Free Dining. With 2 10 year olds you have to ask yourself if they would be ordering off the kids menu, or the adult menu at your meals (if you were paying OOP) If they would usually order off the kids menu, then the DDP is prob. not right for you, but if they would always want stuff from the regular menu, then I would look into it.

We did the DDP when my DS1 was 9 yrs old. He is a big eater with a diverse palate and the kids menu did not do it for him. He would order his kids meal, and then we would pay OOP for, or I would give him my appetiser to help satisfy him (when app was still included in DDP). It also helped that there were 12 of us dining together, so there were always a couple people that were willing to share a bit to keep him happy.

He will be very happy this year to be able to order off the Adult menu without me putting any restrictions on him.
