Careful...I made this same observation when alcohol was first added...didn't think there were that many people who would want 2 alcoholic drinks per day, every day. Trust me, the people on these boards do. I mean, haven't you seen the posts of people who also want their underage, Disney adults alcoholic beverage to add to their own?
So a buffet with alcohol and an a la carte with alcohol can easily add up to the $90-$100 range when you figure in the 2 snacks with it for ADULTS over 21. Families with Disney adult kids under 21 will almost certainly lose money and we'll have to see what the price point is for Disney kids.
yes and no...yes, there are people who love it and post here.
But I’ve noticed over the years, the actual number of DDP lovers seems to shrink each year. As they keep raising prices, and chance the inclusions to rationalize the price increases, the DDP seems to lose fans each year.
Personally, I think we hit a point of absurdity when 11 year olds got charged the same as 21 year olds AND the 21 year old includes up to about $30 of alcohol per day.
10 years ago, the DDP was a pretty good vehicle for most people. 5 years ago, it was decent for a lot of people. Today, it’s the minority for whom it generates any real savings.
The DDP+ will only continue that trend, catering to the narrow market.
and I don’t want to start controversy... but it starts to feel like Big Tobacco advertising to kids and hiding health effects. Here is big happy family loving Disney saying...
Health professionals say you shouldn’t have steak more then 3 times per week. But our plan encourage you to have steak twice per day!
An adult woman shouldn’t consume more than 5-7 alcoholic beverage per week according to the medical establishment, but they should have 2 drinks per day to save money on the DDP..
And taking insulin shots isn’t so bad, who cares if 4 desserts per day will give you diabetes.
not saying that’s everyone who uses the DDP. But outside of character meals... you almost need to become a diabetic alcoholic with clogged arteries to benefit from the DDP.
