We are going to Disney for 7 nights but only 5 on the Deluxe dining plan b/c we have a split stay for the last 2 nights. So we have 15 credits and I have 16 credit adrs. So which one would you cancel or would you cancel a 2TS and add another 1TS in it's place? I really don't want to cancel the 8am breakfast in the parks b/c we can get in early those days.

Sat (3 Credit used)
Yak and Yeti 12pm
Flying Fish 7 Pm (never been here before)

Sun (3 Credit used)
Cape May Cafe 8am (thinking of canceling this one but we haven't ever done it and we would still have to pay OOP for breakfast or lunch somewhere)
Narcoosees 7pm (must have our favorite place)

Mon (2 credits used)
Donald's Safari Breakfast 8am
Boma 7 pm

Tue (2 credits used)
Crystal Palace 8am
O'hana 7pm

Wed. (3 Credit used)
Akershus 8am
Biegarten 1pm *I would cancel this one since we have 3 meals this day but it is dh's favorite even though none of us like it
Kona 7pm

Thur. (3 Credit used)
Tony's 12 (never eaten here before)
CA Grill 7:45 (We really like to see the fireworks from here)

We're Ohana haters so I say cancel it. BUT.... lots of people like it so I'm thinking maybe I agree that Cape May breakfast might be your best best to cancel. :confused3

We use snack credits for breakfast in the food court a couple of times a week. You can actually eat a huge meal like this if you choose. A giant pastry & a yogurt parfait are a big breakfast. This way you still get all of your meals, & can keep your double credit meals.

Easy choice for me. I'd cancel Tony's. Our experience has been that the food is bad and the service is also bad.

Great advice! We LOVE to use our snack credits for the bagels and cream cheese at the POP food court. You'll have your refillable mug so your drinks are covered there.

Yeah I was thinking that we might should cancel Cape May and just use some snack credits at Starring Rolls for Breakfast that morning. I am sure the kids are going to be anxious to get a start on the parks since we are going to star wars weekend at Disney Studios

Yeah I have heard a lot of bad things about it also. We haven't ever eaten there before so I though we might try something new.

You don't say where you are staying, but if you aren't staying in the Boardwalk area it will be tough to get to Cape May with Disney Transportation by 8 am. Plus if you're going to Star Wars Weekend you'll want to get to the park by rope drop. I don't think you'd make it with that reservation. (It's a 20 minute walk or boat ride from Beach Club to HS.) We ate at Cape May last summer and the characters are very cute in their swimming suits, but the food is your normal breakfast buffet. If you want to get in to the park early you could try for the 8am at Hollywood 'n Vine.

If that's where you want to eat, then why not just pay for one meal each OOP (a breakfast buffet for an adult or a non-buffet for a child)?

We are staying at Port Orleans french quarter. We will have our car so we can drive but we probably still will not make the rope drop if we keep the breakfast.

Yeah we can do that b/c we are going to have a 500 gift card anyway to cover the last 2 days of food but we will probably do a lot of counter service and the boys want to go to T-rex so I could use that for one of the meals.

What if you shared in one of your non-buffet meals, like the Yak and Yeti or the Tony's lunch? We've also booked the DxDP, but given that we are not huge eaters, we plan to share the appy, entree and dessert at a few TS lunches (and have the kids share between themselves too).

We are doing the same 5/2 split. We are also doing deluxe and then none. We plan on sharing lunches at yak and yeti or doing the oop for kids meals at regular ts or adult bk buffets it needed. I imagine you could work it out with all the food to keep all your adrs.

Thanks for all of your recomendations.

I tihnk we decided to cancel Cape May so we can make it to Star Wars rope drop and just get some snacks and Starring Rolls or the food court before we go.

Also I am going to cancel Tony's and put O'hana for breakfast that morning.
