Usage of DDP

[Lannin]

Hey, I have a question...

Now I know this should be on another forum, however thought I would be cheeky....

Ok, I have the DDP, got my ADR's made, now what is the best way in your opinion to make this work, very very well for me??

I normally just go for a coffee and bagel in the morning, but then will pig out a bit, so how best for two of us to go get the most out of the DDP?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

I think one of the best things about the DDP is that it allows you to eat at places that normally you wouldn't go to. It also allows you to try dishes that would normally be outside your price range

I still thing the downside of the DDP is that it makes your dining reservations the main focus of your planning. You are forced to be at a specific park or resort to make your ADR. And it's an awful lot of food to get through every day

I dont think I could consume all that food everyday although you must save a lot of $$$$$. I sometimes think the ADR planning takes over your holiday a bit

I must admit that I'm beginning to feel like my holidays been hiijacked a bit by worrying about where to book every day, although as we're a family of 5 it 's great to have paid for all our food in advance, because whenever we go on holiday we spend far too much on food, and it will be nice to go to restaurants I would normally say no to because I'm not sure my daughter would do it justice for the price.

The dining plan is great if you intend to eat a lot of meals at disney. You must let go and eat what you want, you do not have to eat everything and they will not call the police if you do not clear your plate. You do have to plan your evening meal but we plan to eat at the places we would be at anyway.
Plan your evening meals only and just go with the flow. Use your CS for lunch or breakfastas as you see fit and have a snack dare I say when you want a snack.
You will save money using DDP without trying or you could spend your whole holiday totally obsessed about draining every penny out of the plan.

Hi Paul

That was exactly the answer I was looking for, we are there for 21 nights so the refil mug is a great way to enjoy the coffee in the mornin and then use the snack credit for the bagal or toast.

Then lunch, then dinner, so saving the CS and TS for that...

Thanks very much for this it is 100% what I was looking to hear!!

Hi

That is what we are going to do, we have a handfull of ADR's made but we plan on eating where we want when we want, very much the ame as yourself.

The best thing about it is we got the Free DDP,

It is going to be a great holiday, thank you for the response, much appreciated.

Regards

or.....

order the largest cs breakfast for one (using one persons credit ) and then share between two

and then do the same again at lunch

we sometimes do this if we have a late evening ADR and then the kids don't get quite so hungry
