Ahem. Excuse me? I thought that you didn't want to be "appropriate?"
Jeff and I will be trying Tutto Italia next week so I can add some more reviews for you!!!!
On the DDP, you KNOW I'm a fan! I think your plan sounds solid. My only comment about Tutto is that it's expensive if paying OOP. Therefore, I think your plan to use the DDP for Tutto dinner will work out to save you money, and use your DDE discount at Le Cellier. If you ARE going to do the DDP, make sure to get the profiterolles for dessert at Tutto.
As far as DTD restaurants on the DDP, they usually add them later. Since DTD restaurants are not owned by Disney, they have to negotiate contracts and usually add them later. When we went to WDW in May on the DDP, we had several DTD options including Raglan Road, Earl of Sandwich, Wolfgang Puck, Planet Hollywood. It did NOT include Fulton's, which I know you like...but it DID include Raglan Road, which I also know you like. AND Earl of Sandwich was considered Counter Service.
Also, if you are thinking casual and whimsical at DHS, you might like 50s Prime Time. I thought the food was really good and comforting. Five star dining it IS NOT, but fun and casual it is for sure.
Hope that helps!?!
But I'm thinking I may pay OOP for that meal and just use my DDE card for the discount. That will leave me with one more TS credit - which we'll use at Tutto's on Wed. Ahem. Excuse me? I thought that you didn't want to be "appropriate?"

Thanks for your thoughts, Alan. I was leaning towards 5OsPTC also - just have to check my schedule to see if we'll be at that park during a dinner hour. We are eating a late lunch there in Nov., so there's a small part of me that doesn't want to repeat it again in Feb., but there are such slim pickings in DHS. It's a very fun place though!
Thanks for the DTD info also. VERY HAPPY to hear Raglan Road may be on the DDP. We're eating at Fulton's in Nov.; so it will be RR's turn come Feb.!
Take pictures, please! And I don't care if it embarasses your husband; it's your DIS-duty!
Everything I've seen looks scrumptious!
It's so funny. I'm sitting here at the table, typing away about this "surprise" trip and Lauren is sitting right next to me doing her homework. SHE HAS NO CLUE! She's too involved in her geography project!
Usually, I don't like having someone come along to help because I like to keep our Disney trips for just us - our family time. But the reality is that it's getting harder and harder to care for Amanda by myself for a whole week. I have this one nurse who helps at home that I really get along with: she's a little bit younger than me; she's fun; and GREAT with Amanda. So I decided to ask -- and she's able to do it! She'll fly down on Friday and obviously will be with us on the flight home late Sunday night. I'm so happy and relieved to have her for those three days. It will give me a break towards the end of our trip when I'll probably need it the most; and having her help on the plane ride home will relieve Lauren of alot of the responsibilities I usually dump on her.

). Nothing beats walking home from Epcot, right? We've just always stayed at BC, so would like to see the difference-I am so glad for you- it sounds like having that nurse at the end of the vacation will be a huge help!! Good for all of you...
Did you get my pm? We're going to stay at BWV on our last night, so we can check it out in case we feel an urgent need to add on this year (which I can guarantee we will!!
Thanks for reminding me to book ME!!
Ellen
So does this mean you're at BW on Friday or Sat.? Either way, it makes it easier for us to meet up at the ESPN club on Sat., right?
It will be so nice for you to be able to relax a little, and for Lauren to have a little more time to stay out late, or whatever! 
We got some good news regarding our upcoming trip........
It's less than two months away!!!
on the first trip being so close!!
I never got the PM.
