The dxdp will save you money if you eat at a lot of signatures and have kids under 10. At a signature restaurant a kids meal will run between 25-35 dollars. I have 2 skinny as rails grade school boys that are great eaters. My dh and I are both runners with high metabolisms so we have pretty good appetites. . After a 6 mile run in the afternoon I have no problem downing the app, entree and dessert. I drop 5 pds everytime I go to wdw with dxdp so I really love it. I also hate fast food so it works for us. We have also been to wdw enough that we do not spend a lot of time in parks. I think you really have to evaluate your eating style to see if its worth it. It may not work for your family, but it works for mine, and I am sure their are others that it works for.
DxDP works for us as well, even at the new prices. We have 3 kids under 10 and 2 adults. Our typical day includes one character TS meal (breakfast or lunch) and a signature dinner or show. We don't like eating counter service meals at all. Crunching the numbers for each day showed that we certainly come out ahead on price.
Of course if you're on a Disney only trip and want to be inside Disney's bubble the whole time, then DDP is a solution. But it also gets you to miss out on a lot of what florida has to offer.
The bubble is part of the appeal for a lot of people, and we add extra days to the trip to do other things in Florida. Different styles for everyone. I personally can't imagine loading up the kids in our car and driving to a restaurant off-site during our resort stay, but some people would rather do that.
