DDP for 2 year old, PSB, DDP?'s

[mamato2princesses]

I just started checking out the DDP, and noticed that it's for 3 and up. Would I purchase for my 2 year old separately, or does she eat off my plate?

Also, from what I found, it seems like a good deal. Are there any cons? I will be traveling with DH, Dd (5) and Dd (2) (july '07). The MUST's are Chef Mickey, Play & Dine at MGM, O'Hana, Park Faire for dinner AND breakfast. They were all on the brochure I looked at last night. They are all character meals, so they only count as 1, correct? Am I right in assuming that the above would be Table Service:5 for each of us (total of 15 credits)?

Lastly, I wasn't planning on going to Epcot. But if I wanted PSB, would I have to gain admission? (I think I already know the answer to this one

Thanks for any help you can give me. Shannon

Hi-- you are correct, 2 year olds can eat off of your plate (or share from your other child's plate).

The restaurants you listed are all one TS-- totalling 15. The Princess Storybook does require EPCOT entry too.

We did Princess Storybook Breakfast, Chef Mickeys and 1900 (dinner). We LOVED all of them and would definitely go back! Have a great trip!

I think you've made some great choices for character meals. We really liked both the Princess meal at Norway and Crystal Palace, so those are the first two we're doing a re-do on during our November trip -- both as dinners.

We also love Park Fare, and that will probably be our next encore. We just did that last trip (dinner), so it's too soon to repeat it. I don't know that I'd do it twice in the same trip, but you know your family and there's obviously a reason why you chose to do that.

Yes, the PSB (and the MGM event) require park admission.

Jim and Jen,

Thank you so much for the quick responses.

I decided to do both meals at Park Fare because of the different characters. My daughter loooves Cinderella and Prince Charming (dinner), but also Mary Poppins, etc, for the breakfast. Do you think that is too much? I'm keeping expectations low, as far as food goes, because I don't want to be disappointed (I have read so many posts of pro's & con's).
We're staying at GF, and will hopfully get to do the Tea Party as well.
I guess I'll have to skip the PSB this time around.

Thanks again!!!

Shannon-- I agree with Jim that Crystal Palace is GREAT! Especially for breakfast (imo). I would almost try that instead of 1900 twice too, but since you are staying at GF.. it is also so convenient.

Have a great trip!

Mary Poppins is in a lot of the character meals. She's usually at Norway, along with Sleeping Beauty, Belle, Mulan, and others.

The characters vary at all of the events, so it's hard to choose a specific meal for a specific character. Cindy is always at CRT and Park Fare, but the rest are subject to change...especially the "second team" of characters.
