I will have to say that that it was a difficult decision to upgrade to the RDP. The price of the upgrade, mugs and tips are expensive but the bulk of it is free so I am not complaining. I don't like that when I pay for dining, I have to purchase mugs because I believe that they should be included in ALL dining plans but that is just me. In the future, when our children are older, we will probably stick to the QSDP because of the mugs, tips and the RDP really puts you on a schedule. As for now, my children are young (5 and 1) and we LOVE character breakfast. We are HUGE breakfast fans so we tend to schedule brunch and then eat our CS meal around 2 or 3pm. That leaves an early evening snack (we also take small snacks in with us). Right now we only have to buy 2 mugs because my children only drink water. Like I said, when they get older there is no question in my mind that we will purchase the QSDP on our trips. I think it is just easier when you have teenagers.
