Confused about Character dining

[Stubbs]

Our first WDW trip is in about 7 weeks, so excited! I'm trying to finalize our reservations but I'm confused about how many TS credits character meals are. In the pdf on the Disney site it says they are 2. But on another place on the Disney site it says 1. Can someone please tell me if Chef Mickey's and Crystal Palace are 1 or 2 TS credits. Thanks so much in advance. I just want to make sure I don't make any mistakes and know for sure.

Chef Mickey's and Chrystal Palace are a 1 TS meal. The only character meal that is 2 TS credits is CRT. Have a magical trip!

They are both 1 credit restaurants. Have a great first trip!

The only meals that are two credits are the dinner shows (Mickey's BBQ, Hoop de Doo, and Spirit of Aloha), Candelight Processional, and the Signature restaurants (CRT, Brown Derby, Narcoosee, Citricos, Artist Point, California Grill, Yatchsman, Flying Fish, and Jiko). There are strong rumors that Le Cellier will be going to two credits in January. All other restuarants on the DDP are one credit, including character meals. There are a few restaurants that don't take the DDP at all: Victoria and Alberts, Bistro de Paris, any of the restaurants at the Swan/Dolphin, and a few at DTD.

By the way, welcome to the DIS and have a great time!

The confusion on this point often comes from the fact that Disneyland's (Anaheim, CA) dining plan, which is quite dissimilar to WDW's dining plans, requires 2 credits/vouchers for their character meals.

There was also plenty of issues earlier in the year where the new online reservation system was seeming calling restaurants 1 TS vs. 2 TS at random.

Those are some great choices for your first trip.. They are both 1 TS..
