1st time on DDP, please review my ADRs and answer a few questions

[McFlea]

First time on DDP coming up in February (17th - 24th), please review my ressies so far...

Chef Mickey's breakfast
Garden Grill dinner
Sci Fi lunch
Via Napoli lunch
Tusker House breakfast
Crystal Palace right now have ADR for breakfast

So, my questions are:

We've done CP breakfast, so I'm thinking of changing to dinner - how is it?
Is Tusker House breakfast worth it? Honestly, none of the AK TS places interest us too much, so I'm considering only doing CS that day.
I have one more TS to plan, any suggestions in the parks? (no resorts, too much time travelling)
I'm already stressing over all these ADRs; last time we had the QSDP and it worked out great for us (why, oh why, won't they allow a downgrade on free dining ) so I'm not thrilled about 2 TS in one day; I'd rather not spend so much time eating. Any suggestions are appreciated

I can't help with crystal palace dinner - never been

Tusker house is great it's especially cool if you get an adr before the park opens - great photo opportunities (same applies to early CP b'fast)

We are also doing the free ddp this dec. We love the QSDP too as we dislike having to be somewhere at a certain time and all the time it takes to eat a full service meal.

We have 7 ts credits and are doing 3 signatures and le cellier
maybe it's not the best use of credits but it fits our touring style better.

Unfortunately, other than Brown Derby signatures mean going to a resort. Altho, flyingfish and yachtsmans are really close to international gateway in Epcot and Cali Grill isn't exactly a hike from MK.

What about doing a 2 TS meal? We try and book just one TS per day-so you don't feel like you always eating. Breakfasts are good too-you can book a later one and treat it like brunch. Don't stress!!

Chef Mickey's breakfast - Our favorite! Great character interaction, really good food.

Garden Grill dinner - We've never tried this one, but I've been reading some good reviews. I'm hoping to try it eventually.

Sci Fi lunch - Great chioce!!! Just stick with burgers.

Via Napoli lunch - Never tried this one. Probably never will. The menu just doesn't sound special enough for us, but I've seen food pictures that look good.

Tusker House breakfast - We've never done breakfast, but dinner is our favorite meal at Disney. Yummy!

Crystal Palace right now have ADR for breakfast - Also never done breakfast. We always have dinner here. The food is very good, and character interaction is some of the best.

As far as adding one TS goes, if you want something quick you might want to try the TS at your resort. Where are you staying?

We've also found that lunches tend to be quicker than dinners.

Crystal Palace is a good choice, everything else is a bit "meh"

 

[JacksLilWench]

Never been to CM or GG...Sorry!

SciFi is great! Love the burgers...last time I went, I had (if I remember correctly) pasta with chicken. It's been a while since I've eaten there!

I haven't tried Via Napoli...yet

Tusker House was delicious for dinner, I'd definitely go there again

Same with CP- but the funny thing is, I have breakfast ADR's for my trip in December for both!

Have fun on your trip!!

suggestions that we like:
Tonys in MK
Prime Time in HS
San Angel or Le Cellier in EP

I prefer breakfast to dinner at CP, but love dinner at CM and CRT.
Also cosider the Hoop de Doo...all ages love that show.

I personally love going to the resorts for dinner. Get to see resort and they are so relaxing. But we have been to WDW so many times we don't go commando....we know there will be a next time.

Are you getting your money's worth with breakfasts and lunches? I'd do the math first and see if maybe you shouldn't even be on the dining plan and maybe just have a few 'must' ADRs. Or if you want to do the dining plan, try maximizing the value with more dinners.

What resort are you staying at? I would book some ADRs for your resort for dinner.

They have FREE dining.

We love CP dinner. It is my favorite place to eat while there.
