My understanding is we have to pay for the DDP since we wouldn't qualify for room deals if/when it comes back. Our kids are turning 8 and 9 this fall, so thinking if it comes back, the DDP could be our last shot to have the kids qualify for kid rates (-10) and character meals that are pricey.
Has anyone done the analysis if the DDP makes sense for trying to do Tusker House breakfast/lunch, Topolinos breakfast, BOG lunch/dinner, Garden Grill (lunch), CRT lunch/dinner? Thinking of maybe doing a blowout trip of as many of those kind of meals the last year they count as kid rates.
IF you thought it made sense for the 2-credit character meals, any tips or recommendations? Any tier to pick? My husband and son are happy with a big, late breakfast and then snacking most of the rest of the day. My daughter and I like to eat more frequently but smaller meals. My husband and I do enjoy one or two cocktails/beer with lunch and/or dinner, but not more than that.
We do drink coffee, and I could maximize the snack credits for Starbucks in the morning for us.
Unfortunately, our kids are kind of annoying with eating the typical kid crap; Mac and cheese, pizza, nuggets, grilled cheese. There's no food allergies to deal with.
They DO eat a good variety/quantity at breakfast, but I lose my mind paying for lunch and dinner with them, hence usually buying groceries at DVC stays and just feeding them their typical stuff in the room. I hate to waste the money, but if we're going to do character meals anyway, I'd rather pay the $40ish range as a child price versus $60ish for an adult meal.
