Can't wait to hear more!!!
Joining in for the fun!
Thanks for the honest review of Coral Reef. Sorry about the chicken dish. I haven't heard great things about it, and never order it. Usually I like to stick with the seafood or steak. The Chocolate Wave is the best dessert though!
I'm in, we are doing double deluxe in Sept for 7 nights, there will be 5 of us so I can't wait to see how you did it with so much food.
I'm here too! It's great to see a mostly positive review of Coral Reef, and I can't wait to read more (even if I don't have time to comment often ).
Subscribing! I'm debating upgrading to the DxDP for our trip in December '13 and I just can't decide! Hopefully this helps me make up my mind
We love the DxDP! love trying new things.
We just did ten days of deluxe dining plan it and it was NOT too much food for us. We ate what we wanted and stopped when we were full. Skipped dessert a couple times, and I did not gain any weight. You want a way to use up those snack credits??? The french bakery in epcot. We spent around twenty credits there. Delicious! Only a few items are not considered snacks and it was so much fun to go there a few times and just get everything you wanted and not worry about it. I think we used all our snack credits.
We are spoiled, we will do the Deluxe plan every time now. Although next time we will have later breakfasts, skip lunch and do more signature dining for dinner, filling in with snack credits during the day.
We never felt sick, gorged or overly full. I never felt bad about leaving food on my plate or skipping dessert if I did not want it. It will be better next time because DD will be ten and won't be stuck with the kids menus.
debrapagliasotti said:Bo and I both had a Altemunster Draft (Germany pretzel wagon) as well as a soft pretzel to share, plus 1 more pretzel for the little boys to share. How can you go wrong with a beer and a soft pretzel combo??
Wait, you got beer with snack credits? We love the pretzels in Germany, but Lord knows DH would love a beer too! (Can't say I wouldn't mind one as well!)
debrapagliasotti said:OH, yikes, no! We paid OOP for the beer, forgot to mention that. Went back and edited
Thanks for the heads up! Won't the husband be disappointed...not that it would stop us from getting beer, he just thought he'd get more of it!
debrapagliasotti said:On December 20 we had an 8am (pre-park opening) ADR for Hollywood & Vine.
Now, I know this is not the highest quality breakfast one can find on WDW property, but it was pre-park opening...and we wanted to get Hunter into JTA as well as get FP for TSM, but mostly because Jaxon & Evan enjoy those characters.
How did it work out for the JTA and FP for TSM? I see you got a spot for 1p JTA but how we're the lines for this and the TSM FP when you finished breakfast??
I love your report! I am so ready to go back. Everything looks so good.

Sorry...just realized I messed up my question above and accidentally combined it with part of your post...either way...I'd be interested about the line to sign up for JTA after your breakfast. Thanks!
Loving the Food Porn so far, making me hungry lol! We also went to H&V but for lunch (which was pretty good) but also found it quite crowded (even lost my brother (6) who got confused and went the opposite side of the restaurant since they look so similar lol.
Via looks great as well, on our last trip that restaurant just didnt make the cut (looking at those yummy pizzas I think it should have)
I absolutely loved your Via Napoli review! That's one we're trying for the first time this June. We're each of the pizzas a TS credit, or if not, how do the charge you on the dining plan? I'm so excited to eat there now!
OOOH, I hope you love Via Napoli as much as we do!
We all ordered the individual pizzas and they were all considered a TS credit with the dining plan.
Since we had DxDP the appetizers were also included. We did not pay OOP for anything on this meal.
WOW!!!! that is amazing! We're going to be on DxDP too... I had no idea how that worked at Via Napoli on the dining plan... that's great though, everyone can order an individual pizza and share (or not!) The pizzas looked so good too! I almost drooled on my computer screen over the calamari. I think that's going to be exactly what I'm getting for an app!
I can't wait to read more!!
