the gift the keeps giving...less?
It doesn't bother me so much that the prices go up, after all, Disney is expensive, but we go for the quality, the magical, special experience.
I must say, though, I don't like feeling you pay more AND get slightly less each year. We lost the appetizer. We lost tips included. We lost Le Cellier. We lost a beverage. And yet we pay more each year. And have newer options to pay even more!
I think I will skip the DDP next time and see how much I spend ordering what I actually want to eat and tipping what I think is reasonable to tip. I did like paying in advance, but not sure it feels like I am getting something anymore.
