septbaby: The reason we picked the Deluxe DP is that my DH is a very picky eater and he hates CS/snack type food. He wants a "good" sit down meal, at each meal. Also, we are meeting my DB and SIL, who don't have kids and really prefer the "fancier" spots. They have been to WDW before and want us to eat at CA Grill & Narcoosee's and other 2 ticket spots. Vacation is all about the food for them
We started out with the regular DP, but after putting all the choices down on paper, we actually ran out of TS tickets. And, the places they are wanting to eat at are VERY expensive.

So, it turns out to be cheaper to do the
DDP for us. Luckily, my kids are used to hanging out with Auntie & Uncle in fancy places, so they are really good at long, drawn out meals.
The one thing about our plan, is that we will probably not use all of the snack tickets. Now that I know that I can use them anytime during the vacation, I'll be probably out there buying a ton of snacks on the last day to bring home to the kids' friends.
