I'm sure there are more folks like you who won't care. Heck, if you know all the (widely disseminated) tricks on "the best" quick serve meals , you could eat very well on the QSDP. Rib-eye steaks, shrimp, gourmet pizza and sandwiches, etc. Indeed, I think my family would struggle to spend...

Yeah, we returned from POP last weekend and I can confirm there's no bounceback. We've been doing the free DDP in August for several years now, but we won't be returning next year if all we can get for free is the QSDP. Frankly, free DDP at the Value Resorts was too good a deal -- which is...

Sorry, my wording wasn't precise. So if I downgrade the package tickets to one-day, I can ask guest relations (what about the hotel front desk?) to put the tickets on separate ticket stock (which I assume are the regular paper cards). And then these never expire, and anyone can use them as 1...

Very interesting! Thanks. So if I remove the 1-day tickets from the package, anybody could use them? Would they let me downgrade the package tickets?

For NINE nights? No way! Especially since it's Pop Century. I might save $20/day and lose $300 a day in free food.

Yeah, unless there's some other trick, I think the special fastpass is the best option for me here. Oh, well. It would have been nice to actually save a few bucks with our "free" tickets!

Thanks, Doconeill -- it's a very clever idea! But I don't think it will likely work for us because, for several years now, we always come for free Disney Dining -- which requires us to buy at least a one-day ticket. So using the GADs to effectively buy future-date tickets (by saving my...

Each member of my family of 5 earned a GAD ticket last winter. We were planning on using them on our 9-night trip to Disney World next month. Four of us are staying the 9 nights, and 1 family member is coming for a long weekend. But I can see that the rules seem to work against us...

I have the free DDP for next August (return guest offer). We're staying 8 nights, and will probably go into the parks half the time. For our non-park days, I've got Ohanas, Boma and Wolfgang Puck's Cafe booked (been to all 3 before, and liked them), but I'm looking for another non-park table...

Right, that's the offer I just received. If you think you want to return for free dining, it's a good deal because the deposit is only $200 and is fully refundable (up until next summer). With the restaurant booking window back to 180, I figure (hope?) it will be easier to make dining...

The Dole whip is excellent (and you might as well get the float there to maximize the value on the DDP), but I think I may have found something better this time: the Smoothie shop in Tomorrowland. Their strawberry-banana smoothie was better than a dole whip IMHO (gasp!). BTW, I was a little...

Or perhaps the maid forgot to put it in the room? Ours "magically" appeared on the "dining" table on our second night.

I just ate at both and -- if I couldn't do both -- I'd do Ohanas. It's just a better dinning experience. More unique, more pleasant. The only thing unique at Chefs is seeing the animitronic Remy at the earlier seatings -- and, frankly, it's only modestly entertaining. Otherwise, Chefs is a...

There's obviously a wide range of opinions on this one. Here's mine. Having just eaten there last week (for the first time in 2 years), I think the food quality is pretty mediocre. I did not have a problem with character visits -- within an hour, "everyone" came by. Service was fine. The...

That's an informative report. Thanks. I was there Monday and it wasn't much fun. It was unfortunate because we live in the East and like to go out to California to visit family BEFORE the California schools let out and things get crowded. We use our no-expiration Disney World tickets to...

Does anybody know? Thanks!!

I did this a couple years ago at the turnstile. No problem it took a few minutes. At the time, I used a no-expiration single-park WDW ticket. And we did get a ticket good for BOTH DL parks. I thought perhaps they had made a mistake. But the info posted above suggests that IS the...

So I call 90 days before my August stay, and it's still like pulling teeth to get into the popular restaurants. Le Cellier? Fuggetaboutit. Ohanas, very, very tight. Even things like Boma and '50s Prime Time require massive flexibility. Obviously, in the "real world," nobody makes dinner...

If you "strategize" your quick service lunches (like order 2 ribs and chicken platters at Cosmic Ray's for 4 people), you'll find you don't need to use a credit for each person. This leaves you with extra quick service credits for breakfast, which you can then use to split breakfast platters...
