DDP and Concierge

[mmwalker]

Has anyone done both? Is it too much food? Is concierge enough if you supplement it with some meals/snacks? We are going for 16 days with 4 of them concierge. We are considering not doing the DDP for the concierge part....thoughts?

Food offerings in a concierge lounge are not designed to replace meals, although if you like continental breakfasts, you might replace a CS/TS breakfast with the food in the lounge. You would be able to get cold cereal, fruit, juice, limited breakfast pastries, coffee--that kind of thing. The rest of the day, the lounges offer mainly snacks, and a limited bar in the evening.

Concierge is not a "meal replacement" plan. B/fast time is fruit, pastries, cereals, etc. Very light snacks during the day, chips, little fruit, etc. Hor'derves in the evening, desserts later. You also don't want to plan your day around when they put the food out.

We're not big breakfast eaters so the breakfast offerings were enough for us. We would generally get a snack mid-morning in the park followed by lunch in the park. With the serving sizes around WDW being so big, we generally weren't all that hungry at dinner time so the lounge offerings were definitely sufficient for us. No, we didn't load up plate after plate; a couple meat skewers with cheese and fruit was enough to satisfy us. This suited our park touring style as well.

For us, because of our touring and eating patterns, the DDP wouldn't fit for a CL stay. If we tended be in the parks most evenings then I can definitely see needing to buy both lunch and dinner and therefore a dining plan could be more beneficial. It really does all come down to your own touring and dining habits.
