Dining Plan for December 2018

[FigmentsFigment]

We are taking our next Disney Vacation in December of this year and have put together our tentative schedule for dining. We will be on the DxDDP as always. Most of our meals will be in park since we are not a fan of resort hopping. I just wanted to see how you guys all felt about our plan.

Day one: Epcot

Breakfast: Garden Grill - This one is somewhat of a tradition. Eat an early breakfast at Garden Grill and immediately go hop on Living with the Land to start the trip officially. My Dad was an environmental scientist and when I was a kid this was his favorite thing at disney. I learned so much riding it with him. He passed a few years ago so we always make sure to do this one a time or two.

Lunch- Teppan Edo- on the fence here. Is it any good?

Dinner- Monsieur Paul- Never been here! I hear great things though!

Day Two: Animal Kingdom

Breakfast- QS snacks lots of those we want to try here.

Lunch- Satu'li Canteen. Our goal for this trip is to mostly try new resteraunts but we really loved this place in October and wanted to try a few more things from the menu. Plus it's new and it will be nice to see how its holding up.

Dinner- Tiffins. I have not been here since soon after it opened and I absolutely loved it then. I'm hoping it has maintained that quality.

Day Three: Magic Kingdom

Breakfast- Crystal Palace. Poohs Fluffed French Toast, Anyone? My better half loves character meals and really wanted to eat here. I never have.

Lunch- Cosmic Ray's. I know. The food isn't great, but we love this place for nostalgic reasons. Plus Sonny Eclipse!

Dinner- Cinderella's Royal Table. We got the elusive BOG dinner reservations for the last trip so we decided a dinner in another castle would be nice. Ivr heard the food is hot or miss, hoping for a hit.

Day Four: Epcot, part 2 Electric Boogaloo

Breakfast- Garden Grill. Reasons stated above. Plus, we really do love it that sticky bun. Yummy.

Lunch- Coral Reef. Never been here decided we should at least give it a try. Very cool dining area, but in hearing bad things about the food....

Dinner- Le Celier- Always been a favorite of mine. Been a few years since my last time there so I hope it hasn't fallen too bad.

Day Five: Hollywood Construction Lot

Breakfast- Boma. Staying at AKL so this is our day to eat there. For obvious reasons.

Lunch- Either 50s Prime Time (Where we go every trip) or Sci-fi Dine in. We love Prime time. The food, the atmosphere, and the staff. It's all great. But is it worth going to the Dine in? We haven't been there before and it's a really cool concept!

Dinner- Jiko- Need I say more?


Sorry for such a monstrous sized post. Just wanted to get it out there and its helping me ponder it just typing it up. If you guys have any questions or comments I'd love to hear them!

How many nights are you going? I was just wondering if you had calculated your total dining plan credits. Have you done the 3 meals per day when you have done dlxdp before. I love doing dlxdp, but I only plan 2 meals per day.

5 days 6 nights. We will have 18 total quick/table service credits and then paying out of pocket for one meal, most likely breakfast. It's a LOT of food, but that's half the reason we enjoy Disney so much so we go a little overboard haha.

I counted 19 credits. The qs may be your best bet for cash

More power to you if you can eat 3 meals a day w Apply's included. Hopefully they will be spaced out

Nice variety of places too

 

[FigmentsFigment]

Yeah. Its 19 credits for what we have listed so one will be paid for our of pocket. Whatever is the least expensive so th QS most likely.

Our goal is to have them very spaced out. Early breakfast ADRs before rope drop, lunch around 2 and the latest dinner reservations we can get. It's definitely more than necessary but we are foodies so it's worth it.

I agree that the QS would be the best bet for paying OOP. QS really isn't a good way of using a credit on dlxdp.

I think CRT is one of those places everyone should try once just so you can say you have done, but I personally wouldn't return.

I will say that I have never been to Coral Reef. I think it is good to try places that often get bad reviews as you may like it. If nothing else it will be an interesting place to dine.

I say that your plan works great if it works for you!
