apostolic4life, I tried to use the quote but, it wasn't working.......
Anyway what you said about portions with milk and lettace was true. Assuming milk and lettace are the same price in Orlando as here(I know Disney buys in bulk with discounts)you could get 3 heads of lettace for the price of one gallon of milk but, much more that 12 slices of cake with that gallon of milk.
In response to the time and sharing, the appitizer list, for the
ddp, could be limited to say soup or salad. That can be made in large amounts and waiting to be served at a moments notice. The time element goes away there because I have to wait for them to cook my food so I eat my soup or salad while waiting........no extra time. And splitting a dessert would, in my opinion, cut time too because two people eating a piece of cake will get rid of that cake faster than one person. And the debate about wanting to turn tables also becomes a mute point when the DxDP is used because an appy is included.
I know Disney has accountants
looking at the books to see what is the best option for Disney. And that is ok I know they are in the business of making money. As long as my family can afford to go to Disney we will
, when it gets to the point we are priced out then we won't
. I hope this doesn't happen but, there is always that chance.
Your qoute "Yes, it sounds like a good idea, but I wonder if any of the folks wanting an appetizer would be appeased with an offering of a simple salad or fruit option?? Most of the people are upset by the lack of appetizer because they want the crab cakes, cheese plate, duck, etc. not the salad or fruit. Offering a salad will not make these people happy!"
You are totally right. There is no way to make all the people happy all the time. The best way to get what you really want..............don't get the ddp, pay oop. Just my .02. My story, we were limited to what desserts we could order at Planet Hollywood in May, and of course my dh wanted something not on the list........
We just have a couple more weeks to wait and see what the Mouse has decided
