I have a feeling when pricing comes out for this it will be so close to DDP pricing a ton will upgrade. I would bet less than $20 for adults extra and less than $10 for kids. I have a feeling in the same way they convinced us we needed alcoholic beverages with our meals we'll be convinced we need appetizers or sit down meals.
my educated guess is $15 increase — about $95 for adults.
could be $20, taking it to $99.
at $20.... it’s basically a break even increase, but depends on the person. A typical TS ala carte meal runs about $20 more than a CS on average, especially since some of those uses will be breakfast. (Can’t do 2 dinners in 1 night. So second credit is breakfast or lunch). And have to think on average, people aren’t going to get the most expensive entrees twice per day (2 steaks per day, every day?)
so a $15 price increase would present people with a bit more savings, if they want to do more TS or signature.
A $20 increase would be more break even —— but would be big savings for those who do A LOT of buffets.
personally, I find this plan a bit restricting though it will depend on pricing.
for a 5 day trip...
If you want almost all QS meals... QSDP.
If you want 5 TS and 5QS, DDP
And now, DDP+ If you want 10 TS meals during that trip.
But if you want 7 TS and 3 QS? You like sit down meals but not 2 per day every day...
this DDP+ allows it, but probably turns into a major economic waste, unless they actually price this plan cheaply.
what I’d like to see:
No distinction between TS and CS credits:
But DDP is 3 credits per day
QSDP is 2 credits per day
DXDP is 5 credits per day
CS restaurants — 1 credit
TS— 2 credits
Signature and the more expensive buffets: 3 credits
then a DDP person would have the flexibility to... 3 CS in 1 day, 1 signature for the day, or 1 TS + 1 CS.
