Best restaurants using DDP for 3 days

[dannyandkristi]

Hi all! I'm sure it's been asked before...we are looking to get the most bang for our buck out of the DDP in October for TS, CS and Snacks. We have to start making our ADR's in about a week, so any emergency help is appreciated! Here's our basic itinerary so far, which may or may not help with any suggestions:

Day 1: Arrive late Evening, Staying at AK...we may eat a counter service at the hotel or try Boma's (OOP)~Not planning on using our DDP on this day.

Day 2: Going to Animal Kingdom...looking for best CS and Snack at the park. Possibly going to Whispering Canyon (DDP) for dinner.

Day 3: Magic Kingdom~Cindy's Royal Table Breakfast (Out of Pocket) I have heard that Pecos Bill's is good for CS? Still looking for best CS and TS. There seem to be very mixed reviews on the TS at MK. We may leave MK to go eat dinner, so any suggestions at a Disney hotel would be nice. We are looking to try to only use 1TS (instead of 2) for our meals.

Day 4: Epcot~ We are still looking for suggestions for CS and Snack, and we will have dinner at Le Cellier (DDP).

Days-5-10 We will be spending another 2-3 days at the Disney Parks (while staying Off Site, so any additional Out of Pocket Dining suggestions will be appreciated at well...these of course, we'd like them to be the least expensive.

Thanks!

Looks like your day 1 is already well planned out.

Day 2: I would suggest you eat at the Flame Tree BBQ. It's not the traditional BBQ we have in Louisiana. The meat is rubbed with spices and the sauce is served on the side. We've tried just about everything on the menu and all are great. Seating is outside and under the shade. The frozen lemonade slushes in Asia are good and refreshing.

Day 3: We really enjoy the Crystal Palace. It is a very large buffet. I am super picky about buffets but this one is well staffed and clean. There were at least two or three meats to choose from and a large variety of other dishes. Be sure to try the Fire Roasted Corn Spoon Bread. It was our absolutely favorite dish.

We eat at Pecos Bills every time we go to the Magic Kingdom meaning we have eaten there over a dozen times and every time, we have enjoyed the food. The fixin's bar is large and fresh. Try the sauteed mushrooms and onions on your burger. The salad there is good too.

Day 4: For our counterservice meal at Epcot, we usually stick with basic fare. We either eat at China or at the Sunshine Fair in the Land Pavilion. The Land has a large food court type setting. There are numerous types of food to choose from. My favorite snack at Epcot are the churros in Mexico. I think you'll be extremely happy with LeCellier. The food is outstanding!

Have a safe and fun trip and eat lots of great food! Lisa

Oops, forgot to mention other inexpensive out of pocket meals. Any table service meal is fairly expensive so I'll keep to the counter service meals.

At the Magic Kingdom: Cosmic Rays in Tomorrowland. They have a chicken platter that's enough for two. I think it cost around $14.00. The Figaro Fries at Pinocchio Village Haus are good. They are a meal in themselves.

At MGM Studios: We like Toy Story Pizza Planet. Our 9 year old always has to go there. I am a big salad eater and my husband likes the pizza. We order the combo meal so he can have the pizza and I can have the salad. Backlot Express is pretty good too.

At Animal Kingdom: Other than Flame Tree, Pizzafari is a nice place to eat. The food is good and inexpensive.

At Epcot: The counterservice meals at the various countries are all good. If you want to stick with American food, try the Electric Umbrella. Typical burgers, chicken strips, fruit cups, etc. Lots of seating both inside and out. The salads at the American pavilion are really large. Enough for two really.
