DDP and FW

[dato63]

I purchased the deluxe dining plan - and then we decided to change resorts. We are now planning on staying in a cabin at FW instead of a family suite.

I was thinking of what we should do for dinner our first night and wondered about the options we have at FW.

The chuckwagon lists hot dogs/nachos - are there any meals that we could use the dining plan credits for?

Trail Ends to go - is the pizza two credits like other resorts, even though you are not having it delivered? Do they have "meals" that you can use a credit for like a regular CS?

Thanks in advance to anyone that can shed light for me. I was thinking f a light meal, then trying to hit the campfire/movie our first night. . .instead of shooting for a TS that we could be late for (as we are driving) or a theme park.

I'm a bit curious about this too. We'll be at FW on the deluxe plan in May, so if we don't get any answers right now I'll be sure to report back!

Thank you - I'll be sure to watch for your report.

I debated asking this on the camping board - but as it was dining plan related thought it belonged here.

There are no counter service places at FW. There is only the Trail's End Buffet that takes 1 Table Service credit each. They will not let you use Counter Service credits on take-out there.

You can take the boat over to the WL or the Contemporary, to use the Counter Service credits!

thank you Rhonda.

Colleen - I did post on the Camping board, they said pretty much the same as Rhonda shared.

The only DDP option at FW besides snacks, is TS at Trails End (buffet). Sadly, there is no counter service at FW... much to all our chagrin and despite all letter writing and screaming about it here.

2 years ago we asked if we could use DDP on a take out pizza. We were told "no" but the CM did give us the 20% TiW (then DDE) discount on it. Not sure this is standard though, so I wouldn't count on it.

On the up side, you can generally use your snack credits on any food item under $4 at either of the trading posts. Down side is that it seems not all CMs know how to ring them in properly, so be sure to ask beforehand.
