We are doing the same thing! My friend and I plan to eat our way around the world. I am a bit nervous as well, but we have 30 free meals and plan to use most of them on sit down restaurants. I know we will be flamed but we are going to make one heck of an effort to do it even though we will be exhausted! We do plan to take advantage of many signature restaurants to use up the credits.
It is your trip and you should enjoy it. Sounds like a bunch of great restaurants. You can totally do it...don't worry about what others think!

I feel Chef's de France is much better food then LeCellier or Tutto in epcot, so if he is a foodie, he would prefer those in my opinion. I always go deluxe and eating signature and a few select choices that are close to signature quality is the way to go. Have fun!

just a piece of fruit for breakfast, early lunch later dinner, stroll a bit after meals and check your pedometer regularly. You may survive.

It is going to depend on how you space out your lunch and dinner ressies. Especially on those days you are doing a buffet lunch. Like the PP said, a very light breakfast (snack credit is perfect for this), then early lunch would be ideal. We are a DxDDP family and we usually do character breakfast/buffet, snack or CS lunch, then a nice dinner (often a signature place). This spaces out the larger meals quite effectively.

We did the platinum package when we went last and had basically deluxe dining. We loved going to all the different restaurants. I'm sure you are going to have a good time. You've got some really good ones on your list.

The only one I don't see there that I would HIGHLY recommend (if it's in your budget as it will be out of pocket) is Victoria & Albert's. If your husband is a foodie, he would LOVE V&A's. It was by fair the best meal we had during our trip.

Thanks for all the replys!!

All of our meals our spaced out by like 6-7 hours, with lots of walking in between, so hopefully this will give us enough time to recooperate/be prepared for our next meal!

Looks good to me. Eating at all the signature restaurants for dinner, and having a TS lunch or breakfast like you're doing, is really the best way to use the deluxe plan IMO.

Its beautiful, just perfect lol

We have had the same "this is a lot of food" discussion...especially with Food and Wine and MNSSHP and all of the candy...BUT, I just keep saying....at least we will walk a lot...and wont gain as much weight as if we were just sitting on a cruise ship.

Makes me feel better

Looks like a wonderful trip!!!

I agree. The food for us is a big part of vacation. We get to eat things we don't normally eat and calories don't count on vacation right?

We are doing something very similar to your plan for our upcoming trip. I can't wait! DS and I had the DxDDP last year. We shared a few appetizers and desserts and even skipped dessert a couple of times. We'll do the same again this year.

I think you will be fine ... Enjoy!

Is it a lot of food? Yes. But it looks AWESOME!!!! Looks like you will be having a culinary adventure

It looks really good to me! We love the deluxe plan and use it the same way - two meals per day, with signature dinners nearly every night.

I do have one comment, though - you have Yachtsman on your AK day and Jiko on an Epcot day. Is there a reason behind this (like going to Epcot after AK closing)? If not, and if you're relying on Disney transportation, switching the two would cut down on travel time.

Hmm great point!

Actually DH made this agenda....I think he wanted to have Jiko for his last "Disney Dinner", so I'm guessing he wants what he KNOWS he'll like, since we have never been to Yachtsman

This does make sense though...I'm gonna bring it up and see what he says! Thanks!
