love all the off site stuff too! 1. I had no idea how much I relied on the DDP until this trip. It is amazing how much we take for granted when we are using credits instead of cash. We thought about going to Sunshine Seasons for lunch the other day and realized the counter service lunch would cost the same as a dinner out at home. Instead we opted for the gourmet Steak and Shake. Snacks were another thing...on the DDP, we just get what we want. We have been doing that without it, but it feels different to hand over cash instead of a room key where it feels "free".QUOTE]
I know that you mean, it is so freeing being on the DDP, no worring about how much everything cost, not having to tell your kids to share everything, and then having to listen to them complain, eating steak on the menu even when it is over $20. We tried the DDP last trip and would never go without it now!!! I was the big joke when we got home and eat out that every resturant was on the DDP, wouldn't that be great! Can't wait for you next review!!
Just found your live report & I'm loving it!
I can't wait to read the rest.
Loving the reviews. Thanks for taking time out of your trip to satisfy my cravings!!
Jen, I am so looking forward to the rest of your reviews - and please add in some pics of Kidani if you can - we are really excited to be staying there in October.
Thanks for the Bubbalou's Bodacous BBQ review - it is on our list for October but had never actually seen/read anything other than a couple of people saying it was fairly decent BBQ. Now I've seen it for myself, I think we will definitely be paying a visit.
Hope you enjoy your stay at Kidani - I don't know about missing Beach Club, I thought you'd be hard pushed to give up Wilderness Lodge
Totally loving this so far!! Can't wait to read more.
You beat me to this comment
Yeap, we are leaving tomorrow as soon as I can get off work. We are only 5 hours away so we do several mini trips a year. We will eat our S&S on the road. I guess our real "vacation" starts on Thursday though.
I agree with your thoughts on the DDP. We tried it for the first time in Feb and couldn't believe how much we loved it. It was so convenient and it saved us a ton of money. We're going to be trying the Quick Service plan for the first time this trip.
You most definitly made me hungry for BBQ this morning. Is that exceptable food for a mid-morning snack?
Can't wait for more.
this is great!! I am in the process of hammering down our dining for our october DISNEYMOON portion of our honeymoon..and your reviews are going to be a real help

We do the same thing! Every place we go, we compare to WDW and the DDP. And I have to say - my little blue tinkerbell room key with the DDP on it makes me smile every time I look at it...
so excited to hear that there's a Sweet Tomatoes closer than International drive...I hate to have to drive over in that area (unless I'm going to the outlet mall!
Right across from the DTD entrance and through the p-lot...can't miss it!
Great reviews. It's nice to see some of the other restaurants out there. Now you got me wanting to try all of these places that aren't anywhere near me.
That's what we do - we wanted to hit Cheesecake Factory and the Melting Pot, but we have those relatively close so they aren't as special.
Great report and awsome pictures! Can't wait to be part of the rest of your
journey
Thanks!!
Crossroads is a collection of mostly restaurants located right across from the entrance to the DTD resorts. There are mostly chains over there, but all good. If you drive down to Joe's and Macaroni Grill, there is a Walgreens too, always nice to know.
Yuuuuuuuum! Great photos. Can't wait for more!
Thanks!!
Oh! You have a purchase of DVC riding on Kidani? Prepare to buy in - it is that great!
Subscribing! I am going to come back and catch up once the kiddos are in bed. Enjoy your trip!!!
Thanks!! I'm posting more now.
