Basic DDP plan ???

Will most restaurants let you get an appy instead of dessert? If so, which ones have you recently done this at successfully?

None will. Substituting an appetizer for a dessert on the basic plan is not permitted under any circumstances.

All this year I have seen only one poster who said they had success getting an appetizer - and it turned out they had checked in prior to January 1 and were still on the 2007 plan.

There are only a couple of ways to get appetizers on the basic plan - book fixed menu restaurants like CRT or Ohana that include the appetizer in the full offering, or book the Fantasmic Dining Package at Mama Melrose or Brown Derby.

What about ordering an appetizer as your main entree? We are wondering about this at San Angel... This could be the only place that my one cousin might have trouble finding an entree that she would enjoy - we know that there is a definite appetizer that she could substitute as her meal! Has anyone found this to be a possibility?

Ordering an appetizer in place of an entree would likely be permitted. Appetizers can't be substituted for dessert though.

There's also a limited fixed menu offered by Le Cellier that includes an appetizer even on the basic plan - you must pick from the fixed menu though. It does not include the more expensive entrees.
