DDP during Food & Wine?

I'm about *thisclose* to registering for the F&W half marathon on November 9. Our anniversary is on November 10, so I'm hoping to make a celebration trip out of it for just the two of us. clapping

We are total food lovers. Would DDP be a good option during F&W? How does DDP help or hinder our eating? Anyone have experience having it or not during that time?
thanks!

The last three years I went the last weekend of the F&W festival and had the dining plan (deluxe the last two years). I also stayed for a week. I had lunch at the festival and an ADR for dinner. You can use your snack credits at the food booths.

I would say that it would not hinder at all, you can use the snack credits for the stands at the f&wf and then just pay out of pocket for any other snacks. I would strongly suggest making adr's where it is very tough to get in to the popular restaraunts during the f&wf for table service.

When I go to Epcot during F&W I eat and drink solely from the kiosks. And I never do DDP.

I've done the DDP the past three years at F&W, two years on Deluxe. You can use the snack credits at the kiosks, we usually hit them for lunch and had ADRs for Breakfast and Dinner.

The DDP would lose me a lot of money during the F&W Fest. I'll spend entire days eating nothing but the offerings at the F&W booths and have many, many more F&W samples than the DDP snack credits would cover. Meanwhile at least a few of those meal credits would end up unused.

I agree with this. On my Epcot days at F&WF I eat solely off of the booths, and on my DHS I make a trip over to Epcot to eat from the booths. We wouldn't have enough snack credits for our booth grazing and would have too many meal credits for those "skipped" meals. It really depends on how much you're planning on eating at the booths and if you're ok with using some of those "skipped" meal credits to go towards a signature meal or something on a different day.
