We have never gotten the DDP simply because it doesn't make sense for us. But if it did, I certainly would get it, I think it's great. My only beef is the ADR/table thing. We made a couple (character meals) last trip and that was it. My hubby seemed to think we didn't need anymore (I have since beat it into him that we do....and we've made them already for our upcoming trip). Our last trip (November) we walked up to the San Angel Inn on a Wednesday morning. It was about 11:30ish, for lunch. Half, and I do mean half (maybe more) of the restaurant was empty. Empty. They turned us away saying they were full/booked. Now, they could have had our money, we could've eaten our lunch and been on our merry way, I'm sure before ALL those ADR tables needed to be filled, but instead we went back to our resort, got in our rental car and went OP for lunch. I just think that there has to be a little bit of a better way to accept more walk-in people. Turning away people saying you're booked/full when half your restaurant is sitting empty is just bad business IMO.
But other than that, I think the DDP is a wonderful option for families/people who can make the best out of it!!
ETA: The reason I was a bit surprised at the turn away, is because they tell you that with an ADR it is NOT a reservation. Rather, that your party would get the next available table. However, we were turned away from empty-tabled (is that a word???) restaurants throughout our stay. So I guess I'm not knocking the DDP, but the way Disney works the whole ADR system they've got going on.
