    Remy at Chefs de France

    The times and days posted are correct. We made a reservation for 1:10p on Monday during January and Remy popped by just as we were finishing on entrees. All he does is squeak and do the same set of movements repeatedly, but he's pretty on model and amusing to watch

    Did we save on the DDP

    Are these calculations for 3 nights or 4 nights on the DDP? Interestingly I ran the numbers for my recent trip in January for 4 adults on DDP for 3 nights. We ate at Biergarten for dinner, Les Chefs de France for lunch and Akershus for breakfast. Biergarten was our most expensive TS meal...

    Never again will we use dining plan

    I found both the DDP and QSDP provided too much food and didn't match our eating habits which usually includes splitting most meals. Most days we were just overstuffed and still had too many credits left to burn through in the end. The plans are very nice in that you don't have to worry...

    DDP vs QSDP vs OOP - experience and conclusions

    Well, I thought I'd post my experience with DDP and QSDP vs OOP as it may help out others with their decisions. We just got back from a 6 night trip, split stay between the Yacht Club and AKL, 3 nights each. At the YC we signed up for DDP, and QSDP at AKL. I would guess we don't eat as...

    Stayed & Yacht Club...Not For Us

    Just got back from my first trip to WDW, staying at YC and AKL last week and I really liked both resorts. I was a bit baffled by the lack of QS/CS at YC, but we just hopped on the ferry over to the boardwalk and picked up breakfast items or sandwiches from the bakery there. In other cases we...

    How crazy/crowded are the parks (except MK) on New Years day?

    I was wondering how crowded the parks might be on Jan 1? I've read about the crazy crowds around the Christmas holidays where they actually don't allow any more people in and I was wondering if Epcot will be like that on January 1st also. Especially if we aren't entering the parks until possible...

    Sad Commentary IMO

    RD sounds really crazy! I don't find the two rides- Soaring & TSM all that exciting myself. They are of limited popularity at DL/CA but have helped putting some life back into CA in particular. I guess I'll have to count myself fortunate having already experienced both rides (and once was plenty...

    Are you against Ikea Furniture? Is it just the style?

    We love Ikea. I find it's best to mix and match with furniture from other places. We love our Room & Board couch and cocktail table but would never want to spend the money furnishing an entire house with R&B. So the modular Besta entertainment center offers a great look, lots of storage and...

    DDP vs QSDP vs OOP - more time spent eating than playing?

    It's good to hear that everyone thinks highly of Mara. I did not realize AKL was quite a distance from everything else in the park. And that trip report was quite insightful, I had been following it and am glad you found the time to finish it. In the end I signed my group up for DDP the...

    A Tale of Two Dads: 1 on a frugal budget and 1 on the DDP**COMPLETE 12/18/10**

    That's a great breakdown and report! I think to truly compare the costs you may have to go through the days on DDP and figure out what the costs would have been OOP if you had been "middle of the road" dad. A dad and family who still went to all the same table service restaurants and would have...

    Disney raising food prices to force DDP on me?

    If the meal portions are HUGE, is it possible to order 1 meal to share between 2 people? Or is that not allowed on the dining plan? My party does not consist of people who are huge eaters, and generally I don't even finish a more regular sized entry, for desserts we've always just ordered one to...

    Is Remy still at Chefs de France?

    Does anybody have a link to the Remy schedule? I've re-booked a lunch there from 1:30p Sunday to Monday after reading that he doesn't appear on Sundays. Hope to catch a glimpse of him!

    DDP vs QSDP vs OOP - more time spent eating than playing?

    I didn't realize how easy the site allears made it to do the math. Also it seems WDW isn't very discount friendly so the OOP costs are pretty straight forward using allears. There's a wealth of good info that I'll have to go through. So it looks like after doing some rough numbers that as...

    DDP vs QSDP vs OOP - more time spent eating than playing?

    wow, thanks for all the tips! Thanks for clarifying CoolPool, I don't think we could all eat an appetizer in any case so that's good to know. I am partially worried about having my group get overwhelmed/exhausted from long days in the parks and I was afraid that the sit down meals would...

    DDP vs QSDP vs OOP - more time spent eating than playing?

    I'm recently signed up for the regular DDP with our room reservation. As it turns out because we are splitting our stay at 2 different resorts over our 6 nights, I have the option of signing up for a different dining plan or not at all for the 2nd half of our stay. So I've dug thru all the...
