Dining opinions needed...

[arthur06]

DW and I will be going on an adult only trip in April for F&G... we were able to get BCV at 7 months for 5 days! We love Epcot and F&G... Since we just have a studio and no kids we are definetly taking it easy! This will be the first time that we will have the dining plan.

I do have a couple of question... we are checking in on Wed. April 13th and checking out Sunday April 17th. Will I have 5 credits per person since it is 5 day stay, or will I have 4 credits since its 4 nights... I was thinking 5, but confirm for me please...

Also,

We have...

Kona for the 13th
Whispering Canyon for the 14th
... 15th
Le Cellier for the 16th, best I could do was a 2:30 time slot
...17th

Any suggestions for some more ideas or thoughts? We do not care for seafood.

Dining plan credits are based on number of nights.

You will have 4 credits. Since you are at BCV and F&G, you might consider Tutto Italia for dinner. We also like Raglan Road, but that would be less convenient unless you have a car.

You might consider the new pizza restaurant in Italy at Epcot, Via Napoli. I had lunch there last weekend for the second time and thoroughly enjoyed it. Close walk from Beach Club.

I have always enjoyed Chef de France, and they do have a few offerings on fixed price menu that I think you can get if you're on the dining plan. Friends of ours really enjoy Kat Kora's restaurant on the boardwalk. I haven't eaten there.

I would HIGHLY recommend The California Grill

Yes, as others have mentioned, 4 nights = 4 credits

Remember that Le Cellier requires two TS credits on DDP.

Are you talking Basic dining Plan,or Deluxe dinging Plan?With the deluxe you get 3 dinner credits a day.since you're without kids you may want to go to more signiture restaurants like the california grille (Our Favorite),Narcoosies for wishes, or The Flying Fish, all are 2 credit dinners.

Since when? I've used it as a 1 TS credit.

Only at dinner, starting March 1, 2011. Not at a 2:30 reservation, that's lunch.

Keep in mind that you can now get DDP for only part of your trip.

If you're locked in to the idea of DDP, you might want to get Deluxe DDP for one night and spread the credits out over two days. The credits are good from checkin until midnight the night of checkout, wo they can be used really for almost 48 hours.

And yes, LC is two credits for dinner. It has been all this year, I believe. One of those "streamlining to enhance the membership experience based on owner feedback!"

Actually, it's just because they can, and a poor use of two credits IMHO. I like LC, but I'd rate it far below the legitimate 2 credit venues.

Nope - starts March 1, 2011.
