Best way check on added 08 DDP resturants?

[Shasta]

As many know, there are several resturants that haven't negotiated thier contracts with Disney to be on the 2008 DDP. There is a pdf that lists the current resturant that have been added.

What is the best way to check as resturants are added to ensure that my 2 that are missing will be on the DDP next year. Naturaly, if they aren't, I need to rush and make 2 new ADRs. I don't see disney updating that pdf every time a resturant is added.

I would plan on all the 2007 restaurants participating in 2008, and make your plans based on that assumption. Then, in early December, check this forum, or call Disney Dining, and confirm. If any of the restaurants you've selected haven't decided to participate for 2008, then change your arrangements at that time.

In speaking with a CM they stated they believe that the Deluxe dining plan would additional restuarants to the standard dining plan.

How true this is well....I guess we'll just see. I hope there are some added to that plan.

Last year all the missing restaurants were added at once. My guess is Disney decided on the final terms of the plan and publicised it at about the same time it was presented to the non-Disney owned restaurants. My guess is all the missing restaurants will return. Disney may wind up paying the restaurants a dollar less but the deletion of the appetizer will reduce food costs (slightly), improve table turnover and reduce sharing which will increase revenue.

I'd be surprised if the deluxe plan winds up with any restaurants not on the basic plan. The price of the plan suggests restaurants will be paid the same, maybe even less, then the basic plan.

Accodring to the CM I was informed that Fulton's Crab house and Portobello. I questioned him if was refering to the premium or platinium plan and stated no he was refering to the deluxe plan.

Guess only time will tell, well actually Disney will tell!

I was told the same thing, but we all know how that goes... I'll believe it when I see it.
