DDP Limit question.

[EchoThree76]

WE are goign to be using one of our sitdown dinner DDP at Le Cellier. I was wondering how much of the final cost it will cover. Is it like $25 limit per person...or anything like that?

No, there is no dollar limit. You are entitled to one entree, 1 dessert and 1 non-alcoholic beverage. You are, however, responsible for the tip.

No, there are no $ limits. Entree, dessert and non-alcoholic beverage. Order away without a care!

You can order the $15 steak sandwich or the $30 filet, doesn't matter. There are a few exclusions on the DDP (not at Le Cellier) but the waitstaff will tell you before you order, you can also check them out here: 2008 DDP FAQ http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1545287

Exclusions, limitations and/or surcharges may apply (especially at Downtown Disney restaurants). We will try to keep a full, up-to-date list of those here.

Limitations/Exclusions/Observations
• Earl of Sandwich - fountain drink and cookie for dessert
• Tangerine - limits your dessert
• The Lunching Pad - no dessert
• Teppanyaki - Lobster (when available) and sushi are not included in the Dining Plan. (These items are now listed separate from the entrees as "Specialties".)
• Yakitori House - Only certain combinations permitted. For example, Tonosama Combination is not included.
• Pepper Market - Dessert options with CS only allowed from Tier 1
• Spoodles - A Dessert "Sampler" can be ordered, but only by two Dining Plan guests.
• Raglan Road - Dessert "Sampler" is excluded.
• Planet Hollywood - Aubriee reports that surf and turf is excluded.
• Wolfgang Puck Express - Two of the most expensive entrees (depending on the menu, this could be meatloaf, lasagna and/or tortellini) are not included in the Dining Plan.
• Wolfgang Puck Cafe - Sushi is considered an entree, not an appetizer.
• California Grill - Yoshi's Deluxe Sushi Platter is considered an entree. Aubriee reports that Snake in the Grass is excluded from the Dining Plan.
• Pastries at Boulangerie are not available on the Dining Plan for snack credits.
Of course, "add-ons" are never included, nor are items intended for more than a single diner. In some cases two diners may be able to order an item-for-two. Also, both Whispering Canyon and Le Cellier might have surcharges for the more expensive child meals. Ask before you order.

In the past, some restaurants and eateries (but not all) permitted selection of a smoothie or other specialty non-alcoholic drink in place of the standard beverage option in TS and CS meals. Jocelyn (phlufster) reports that a memo was circulated to all restaurants early in January indicating that that practice is no longer permitted. It is not yet clear to what extent this memo reflects the reality.

What about the beverages? I am not much of a soda drinker. Can I just drink my ice water with dinner and order a cappucino with my dessert to be used as my non-alcoholic beverage?

Rats. I was going to have the ham and cheese croissant for a snack one day.

Probably, but this may vary restaurant to restaurant. At TS, there are often other beverages alternatives to soda, such as ice tea or green tea, sometimes milkshakes . We did this at CS and paid slight upcharge OOP, at TS usually no upcharge.

No $ limit as to what you can order. You can order one entree, one dessert and one nonalcoholic beverage per credit. The restaurant may or may not permit specialty beverages.

According to posts from 2008, this year you CAN get pastries from Boulangerie for snack credits - but pastries only, not sandwiches.

 

[bigbabyblues]

Nope, you can get pretty much whatever you want; if there is a restaurant that has limitations/exclusions (the ones posted above), the server will tell you before you order.

DH and I had dinner at the CR last year and our total was $120 or so, and it was just one credit each.

Was at Epcot this weekend and was able to use my last three snack credits for two ham and cheese croissants and a chocolate brioche. Yum!
