40 snack credits on candy?
Is that what you wanted, or were you just trying to use up 40 credits before you lost them?
I have no dog in the fight here - it either makes financial sense or it does not, OR, it might make sense to lose money and have peace of mind, I get it. I don’t agree with that last one, but I get it. I’d rather save money - you’re paying for it either way, now or later, but it’s the same money. More now, or less later. I still get it, I just don’t agree. I can invest that money (theoretically,) and make money from it.
I’ve heard many times that ppl don’t really understand how much food they are getting into with a ddp if they don’t plan it carefully, and wind up buying overpriced snacks on their last day, or treating other ppl with meals before they leave wasted credits on Walt’s books. With some hemming and hawing, I could probably get the DDP to work for my fam, but I guarantee we’d wind up wasting a lot of food, and we don’t drink soda or that “coffee” so the mugs would be wasted on us. It’s just way too much food. You pay for what you throw away. I also read once that someone said using leftover snack credits on beef jerky was “brilliant.” You know, the same beef jerky brand that costs 2 dollars less per package at any store outside of DW?
Even with free dining as “awesome” as it sounds, comes at a rack rate room price. You might be able to do better. It’s all pretty simple math, unless you are romanced by paying up front for meals, and I get it if you are. Don’t let ppl tell you you are wrong for liking it being paid up front, but understand that some ppl just can’t grip that thought. Again, that way of thinking doesn’t make “sense” to me, but I “get it.”
We probably won’t get the ddp next time, and we’ll eat exactly what we want, when we want, and do at least one character meal, and hoop de doo, and probably eat at Kimonos for sushi twice. We’ll (tee hee - SHE’LL) overinduldge on Starbucks frou frou drinks, Dole Whips (all me,) and sushi and Ample Hills, and come home 5 lbs heavier, and spend less than the DDP, paying oop, but that’s us. We probably won’t throw much, if anything away - (unless we hit Pecos Bill’s again - YUCK!)
