On our past trips I have used the basic DDP. That has been enough for DD and I as we are both very light eaters. Unless dd is in one of her growth spurts and then she is always hungry no matter what. LOL!!
On our upcoming trip this May we are trying the DxDDP for the first time. My main reason is we are bringing our 12 year old cousin with us. He is quite the growing boy and eats us out of house and home whenever he stays with us.
I figure it is best for both kids to have three squares a day. This will also help keep both kids from getting grumpy from being too hungry. (At least that is my hope.)
We are staying for 7 nights but will actually be there for 8 full days as we get in early (6am) on arrival day and leave late on our last day. We have streched our credits wisely and have included CRT as our one "signature" resturant. DD and I could pass on eating there but I want to give our cousin the special experience of eating in the castle on his first trip.
When we get back I will let you know how it went.
