8 night/9 days, DxDP. 2 TS to go, any thoughts????

[nswisher]

Hello Everyone....here's my problem. My husband and I booked 5/30 -6/3 at CSR, w/ DxDP, made all our ADR's, and thought that everything was good to go. Later to find out that we had family that was going as well, 9 of them, but from 6/2-6/7. We didn't want to take from our "us" time, seeing that this is also our early anniversary trip. So we changed resorts to Pop, the same that they are staying in and extended our stay to 6/7. So now we have 5 extra days to plan for and double the dinning. We are on the DxDP, while our family is on the DDP. I have tried to get as much planned as possible, but am still coming up short on TS. We have 2 left over. Any thoughts on what to do with the 2 left over? We don't really have any rhyme or reason to our dinning plan, just to enjoy our meals and our time but not to get so stuffed that we can't enjoy ourselves or the parks. We are driving, so making it from one resort to another shouldn't be to much of a problem. So here is our dinning plan as it is right now, also the ones with astrixs, are the ones we are going to with our family. So those ones we are keeping the same. I'm completely open to suggestions for changing some, trying new places, or even any info or advice on what we have planned already.

*I've updated the dinning plan, to keep it up to date. I'm still looking at trying to figure out where to put in 50s PT. Still looking for other ideas to change a few lunches and dinners to. Looking to stay away from signature meals because our family joining us does not have DxDP.

I would do either Citricos or Flying Fish for a Dinner and move Olivia's to lunch or cancel it altogether. I would add 50's PT for a lunch (just because my family loves the drama and the food is pretty good) I saw you have The Wave and that is also a favorite of ours.

are you doing a park this day? may not get much park time in between eating and traveling. Have you considered booking the later show, and using a snack credit in between?

park day?

I love the DxDP and find that it works best for my family, if and only if, we plan meas very far apart, and not more than 2 a day, and not all over God's creation! I try to keep it all in one nice flow. If it's not in the same park, then can i take the monorail easily? You get the picture! All are great food choices though! Good luck!

I would suggest replacing either Wolfgang Puck or Olivias with another signature meal, and then leave your last credit unplanned just in case you want to grab a quick bite from the food court or share a CS between meals in the parks.

And just a matter of personal preference, I'd switch one of those Le Cellier lunches, preferably the one on the same day as Yachtsman, for something else around the World Showcase. There are too many good, interesting options there to eat at the same place twice in one trip!

I'm looking into 50's PT, we had decided not to go, because the rest of the family has reservations for this on the 5th, but we couldnt get booked with them, so we decided to go to the Derby instead at the same time they have dinner. But now, we are starting to see if we can cancel out another one and put this in its place. That's for the advice, didnt realize it had the "drama". We love places like this.
