7 nights/8 days... 21 DxDDP Credits....

[Trina7020]

First of all... I don't care at all about maximizing the plan... I just like that it is prepaid and we can eat freely.... We don't stuff ourselves at the buffets... and for us the meals are just as much the Disney experience...

Last year on DxDDP I cannot think of a time we 3 TS a day... so I am a little concerned about the couple days I have that schedule. I figure worse case I make the ADR so we have someplace to eat and call and cancel if we need to...

What do you think? Besides Chef Mickey's which is already booked... the rest of them are just times I am shooting for... of course since I don't have the Fantasmic schedule yet... the days may have to swap to accommodate that.... When all this is said and done I still have 1 credit each left over.. lol

:thumbsup2 I think you have great adr's picked. That will be a lot of food take plenty of pics for us:banana:

We're using the DxDP for the same reason... pre-paid, includes appetizers, and we don't have to worry about counting credits all the time. :goodvibes That being said, our general plan is to do two TSes and one CS every day. Sometimes it's breakfast in the food court, sometimes it's lunch "wherever we are at the time" (with the exception of shooting for Flame Tree BBQ in AK!) but the thought of three TSes in a day makes me feel ill too!

Specifically, if it were me I'd skip Tony's on my first MK day, and have a CS lunch wherever we are when we decide on lunch.

Oh! Another thing I'm trying to do, especially if we have a TS for lunch, is scheduling a LATE dinner. Like 7-7:30PM late. For example, one of our days is food court breakfast, Tusker House buffet for lunch, and a 7:40PM dinner at Boma (AK has EMH that evening) Basically, if you're dead set on three TSes (doesn't sound like you are though!) s p r e a d t h e m o u t ! ! ! :lmao: :goodvibes

Thanks guys! Let's hope I can get all of these now! :)

The deluxe is alot of food. We did a breakfast or early lunch and a 2 credit dinner. Used our snack credits for drinks or an ice cream during the day.

I think IMHO that you might want to cut back on the 3 TS per day. I would limit 2 TS, because you'll find yourself not only eating too much but being a slave to your ADRs. You don't seem to have any CS lunches/breakfasts, which I think are great for time at the park in the middle of the day when you're trying to get rides in and FPs, parades, etc.

I have gone on a vacation where we had 3 TS meals a day and it was crazy and we vowed never again!

I think a good balance of TS and CS make it so you aren't just running from one ADR to the next.

Just something to consider.

We found that 3 meals a day was fine for our families eating style, as long as at least one meal a day was a buffet (we are 1 plate per person people at buffets), and that all of our meals were spread out.

We are early risers, so we had many 7:25-8AM ADR's for breakfast, a noon time lunch, and 6-7 dinner. We did cancel 1 ADR, because we were so full from a meal, but it worked out perfectly, as we would have been over by 1 credit each otherwise.

Enjoy your vacation, it looks like you picked some great places! :thumbsup2

Just really look at those 2TS meals. They are a great treat on the DP.

Your group is big enough to enjoy the Kitchen Sink at Beaches and Cream. Your TS credits will pay for the meals, but the you would have to pay for the KS. Seems like a really fun event for your family. No ADR needed, just show up and wait your turn.

I also wouldn't do the Whispering Canyon and the Hoop De Do back to back (wed / thurs). The food is kind of similar.

I agree with the Castle instead of 1900 Park Fare (and skipping Tony's - I think that lunch is too close to your breakfast) but I'd suggest a late lunch at the Castle (so you get the princesses instead of the Fairy Godmother ceremony) and then snacks around the MK in the evening.
