We added about $4.00 a day for snacks(for the each of us, there are 3 of us), around $30.00 for lunch each day, and a sit down meal.
I would suggest doing the same thing. I have looked over the menus, picked what I thought we would order and added up what each meal would cost then compared it to the cost of the DDP.

We have used both and both have good points. With DDE you only pay for what you actually want to order and with DDP you get to try things or restaurants you might not other wise order or visit. Basically, the DDE card takes care of the tip, other than that you are paying for everything you order.

Are your kids going to eat an appetizer, entree, and dessert at each sit down meal? If not it may not be your best deal. My son will be an adult on the DDP soon and when that happens we will pay out of pocket for our meals. My son might eat $40 worth of food in a week but never in a day.
