And we'll have 80 gazillion snack credits too. I'm hoping not to gain more than 5lbs. :rotfl: I'll just run it off when I get back...

I plan to post a review once we return... Happy planning everyone:goodvibes

[disneyfav4ever]

Here is my current plan, but it keeps on changing, and I don't even make ADRs until March. :lmao: This is a twelve-night trip, and I plan to use all 36 credits on TS. I really don't eat CS that much when OOP, so my touring-style really isn't affected at all, the plan just saves me money, especially since I got it with the bounce-back promo.

Arrival Day

D - Citricos

Day 1

B - CRT
L - GF Cafe
D - CA Grill

Day 2

L - Tokyo Dining (If DDP is accepted)

Day 5

I may change a few things around between now and March. And if Tokyo Dining is not on the DDP, I'll probably eat at Tutto Italia or Chefs instead, and if Wave is not open by my trip, I'll probably eat at WCC or maybe Kona. I do have a lot of options. :wizard:

That's 113 credits out of the 132 meals we have available. We'll probably use some of the rest for late night pizza and CS as needed between planned meals, and some will probably go unused. We come out about $500 ahead just on the plans we have, so I'm not worried about using up every credit. As far as snacks go, we'll probably bring some home because I don't see us using all 88 credits while we're there, but the kids love doing that - they get Mickey pretzels and Minnie cookies and share them with friends when we get home. DD is hoping we come home with enough Mickey ear rice krispy treats for her to take for snack for her whole class! LOL

Here's my plan for deluxe - staying 5 nights but using it over 6 days. Getting there late Sat night staying off site & then leaving late Friday afternoon to begin drive back home. :sad1:

Day 1

L - LTT
D - Narcoosis

Day 2

L- Yak & Yetti
D- Brown Derby

Day 3

Late B - Princesses @ Akerhaus
Early D - Garden Grill

Day 4

L -Tokyo Dinning
D- Cinderella's Castle

Day 5
L - Mama Melrose
D - Le Cellier

Day 6
B - Boatwrights
L - Restaurant Marakesh

We will also have 30 snack credits which I'm figuring on trying a dole float & to grab something quick the night before for breakfast. The refillable mugs should come in handy too:rotfl:

How do these look? Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated. :confused3 TIA

It is my family's first time & I haven't been there in in 23 years. :dance3: The DIS boards have been great to find things out. I just want my husband & Daughter15 to have lots of fun, so I don't have to wait another 20 years. :rotfl2:

[SpaceRangerEric]

I don't understand what you mean by "sharing". Are you actually sharing an entree? You will be lucky if they don't charge you for the additional person.

I think it was counter service.

edit....2 posters sharing....1 was table service....I'm sure there will be a sharing charge.

They don't charge you to share entrees at a table service. You just can't share at a buffet though.

DH and I or DD and I did it several times on our last trip and DD and I plan on doing it this trip as well. No issues at all. Between the Appetizer, Entree and Dessert, it's a ton of food.

[SpaceRangerEric]

Good to know. Thanks.

I found this under Disney Dining Plan All You Ever Wanted To Know. It's a post that is a sticky on the first page.

"Can I share meals with other guests on the Dining Plan staying on the same hotel reservation?
There is no clear answer to this. Consistently, guests seem to be allowed to share the meals ordered on the Dining Plan amongst the guests at their table, with the exception of fixed price meals, such as buffets or other all-you-can-eat options. However, this question was been asked directly to Disney via email, by a number of guests, and consistently, they have answered this question by saying specifically that, "sharing is not permitted." Despite several attempts to get clarification about that statement, no clarification appears to be forthcoming from Guest Communications, and nothing official has been released by Disney Dining to resolve the confusion."

Aaargh! More confusion!pirate:

[lisa221]

Aaargh! More confusion!pirate:

I've looked in several places and can't find any more info on sharing. I guess it just depends on the restaurant and the individual server. It looks like its something they don't encourage but seems from reading different posts its been done.
