The sweet spot for the DDP is families with children under 10 that go to a lot of character meals or AYCA buffets. A list of the pricing for all character meals is found here: https://www.disboards.com/threads/buffet-character-shows-aycte-pricing.3108466/
Let's use a day with dinner at Chef Mickey's as an example:
DDP = $177 for 2 adults and 1 child
TS Meal = Chef Mickey (Adults are $53.25 and children are $25.95) = $132
QS Meal = Average about $15 per adult and $7 per child = $37
2 Snacks $ 4 each for 3 people = $24
You're at $193 before you even add alcohol and the mug. Score!
Let's say that instead of Chef Mickey's you go to Tony's for dinner. Their prices range in the low-mid $20's for entrees. Let's say that you spend $25 + $8 for dessert. That's only $35 with tax. the kid's meal is only $10.
Let's use a day with dinner at Tony's as an example:
DDP = $177 for 2 adults and 1 child
TS Meal = Tony's @ $35 per adult and $10 per child = $80
QS Meal = Average about $15 per adult and $7 per child = $37
2 Snacks $ 4 each for 3 people = $24
You're at $141 before you even add alcohol and the mug. If you have alcohol at both meals you would be able to break even.
OP, if you plan on a LOT of character meals or other buffets, the DDP will probably work out OK for you. If all the adults have an alcoholic drink with every DDP meal you might also break even.
