DDP newbie questions

Lots open up the day or two before when people cancel before they have to pay the $10 charge.

The feedback here has been very helpful! I'll try to space out TS ADRs and weed out the ones that aren't as interesting. After all that I'll try to figure out if the DDP seems worthwhile, but either way your input will ensure that we get more time in the parks. Thanks everyone!

You're welcome. When I do my weeding I drop the ones that my family can experience similar in the real world. You have some really good special experience ones and will have a great time. I travel with large groups often and have to remind myself we are only as strong as the weakest link. 3 ts per day for newbies is setting yourselves up for misery. Drop a few and the one or two you have each day will be much more appreciated

That's such great advice. DS, my food-loving pre-teen, is the one who's been most into planning meals with me so we'll sit down and figure out which one TS per day is the most special-sounding, and make sure to keep those. He's not a princess fan but I know my nieces and DD will love Akershus, so that has to stay. If someone had asked me a few months ago, I would never have guessed that Disney planning was going to be such a process, haha.
