Hi everybody!
I'm new to this section of the boards. I try not to use my real name in public forums for security reasons, so I'll just go by twinkybel here.
A little about me, I'm a 30-something who loves my husband, my stepson, Disney, baking, cooking, and eating! (just to name a few). We live about 20 minutes from Disneyland and have APs there, though we don't visit as often as I'd like, and we make it out to the World about once a year. This coming year will bring more trips as we are planning a vow renewal through DFTW for December 2016!!!!! If you'd like to follow that PJ, you can find it here: http://www.disboards.com/threads/twinkybel81-workmantms-wishes-vr-december-2016.3311200/
So to be honest, I have no idea what all is supposed to be in a pre-trip, and consequently I don't know what isn't supposed to be in one, so if I'm doing this wrong, please let me know in a kind fashion.
We will be out at the World from December 5-12. We are DVC owners and will be staying in a studio at SSR for the first 3 nights (unless our wait list comes through) and at AKL-Kidani in a studio for the remaining 4 nights. We are planning on doing the dining plan for the entire stay (with the exception of one or two OOP meals), partially because I really like the convenience of having the food paid for ahead of time. We are waffling between doing the DDP for the SSR reservation and the DDxDP for the AKL reservation or just doing DDxDP for both. Luckily, we have time to decide and already have all the ADRs we want no matter which direction we decide to go in.
Here are our dining plans as of 8/21 (w/ the assumption of DDxDP for all reservations) which include lots of first visits:
12/5:
-lunch at Boardwalk Pizza Window? (OOP) or using snack credits at Boardwalk Bakery
-drinks at Trader Sam's
-dinner at Olivia's Cafe
12/6:
-snack in room
-early lunch at Cooke's of Dublin
-dinner at Raglan Road
12/7
-character breakfast at Garden Grill
-lunch at Teppan Edo
-dinner at Artist Point
12/8:
-breakfast in room with items purchased w/ snack credits from Les Halles Boulangerie & Patisserie the day before
-lunch at T-Rex
-play dinner by ear depending on hunger level after T-Rex and during MVMCP
12/9:
-late Character breakfast at 'Ohana (have had dinner here, but this will be our first breakfast experience there)
-late lunch/early dinner at Whispering Canyon Cafe
12/10:
-character breakfast at Tusker House
-lunch at Harambe Market & Flame Tree w/ a stop in at Y&Y to grab a Pink Himalayan
-dinner at Sanaa
12/11:
-breakfast at Trail's End
-lunch at Via Napoli
-dinner at Jiko
12/12:

**anything in italics denotes that this will be our first visit to this eating establishment.
I am really excited for all the new restaurants that we will be trying this trip.
