1st Time on DDP and Now Second Guessing Myself

[CHIPSTER]

Been to WDW 20+ times and this is the first time we are using the DDP and now I am second guessing myself after studying all of the menus. There is definitely a common theme among most "none" ethnic restaurants - steak, pasta, pork chop, roast chicken......Here is where we are eating: The Wave, Grand Floridian Cafe, Narcoosees, Chefs de France and on the last night our party of 5 is splitting up between the Clambake, Mama Melroses and the Captain's Grille at the Yacht Club. Also, I am definitely more likely to order an appetizer than a dessert. The only restaurant I am really looking forward to is Narcoosees. We don't particularly like buffets as we like to relax and enjoy dinner and quality food. Have had bad experiences at San Angel Inn and Le Cellier. Don't do lamb or duck. Like shellfish. Wish they would do more with chicken than roast it.

Will do Plaza Restaurant at lunch OOP.

Any suggestions - am I missing a good restaurant that is worth getting the Dining Plan for.

Thanks for your input.

we've been to most of the restaurants on your "non ethnic" list...and while the menus do have the list of entree meats you've mentioned I have to say that the actual preparation differs from one restaurant to the next in the sauces & seasonings, as well as the side dishes they come with. I really do not think I was getting the same food every night, even when I ordered a beef dish 3 nights in a row. The desserts were completely different one restaurant to the next...all very , very good.

You can always order an appetizer OOP if you want one, and you do not have to get a dessert every meal. A lot of places even without a dessert you're still coming out ahead on the DDP. Run the numbers for what you'd like to order and see how it comes out.
