Do you think we can made it on time for all of our ADR's?

I'll just add something else that I didn't see mentioned already, if you don't mind.

Aside from points mentioned already, we always find that we are not so hungry when it is really hot out. I know for sure that I couldn't eat 3 TS meals a day in the August Florida heat!

But the flip side is Wanting a place to get in and cool down from the heat and humidity. And believe me, you will want and need to. Unless you just thrive on it, and some do.
I think the Dxl DDP is fine. But I would take advantage of the signature places and not have three sit downs a day.
Maybe something like a decent sit down for breakfast or early lunch, and then a nice sit down for dinner.
Depends on if you are early risers or like to sleep in.
You could even do room service and not feel like you are throwing away your credits.
I could see a great day starting off with room service breakfast and a nice sit down later.
Definitely doable and enjoyable. I just would not want every day running from one restaurant to another, unless you have been to the parks a lot and have just certain things you want to do.

You should have spaced your dining further apart. You do not have kids, going with you this trip. So, late dinners would have been perfect. Say an early breakfast @ 9 a.m. A lunch, at 1 p.m. Then dinner around 9.pm. Would have been better.

However, this late in the game. I am not sure you would be able to book, all the places you wish to go. So, go eat, and have fun.

If you really want to stay with the Deluxe dining add the signature meals where you use 2TS pp. Maybe a breakfast & then a CS. It is a lot of food. If you want since you have paid in full just call & drop back to basic free dining assuming that what you book. But do it before your 45 days mark as afterward they will charge a penalty since you are going down in cost. Just my two cents.
We added the deluxe dining to the free dining and after we made all the ADR's we looked at each other & said that is a lot of food & we are not heavy eaters so I called & took it off. And cancel my ADRS that we didn't want ,ostly the evenings. All but one. Have a good trip !

Thanks for all the information. I thought it would be alot of food. I can't decide if we should just do some of the TS meal and then change some to CS. We went for 9 days a few years ago paying for the regular plan. We had to pay OOP for alot of meals. Went I planed this I was thinking that we would have some down days so that is why we are eating at some of the resorts. We've decided to upgrade our 10 day passes to AP so that we can go to the parks all 14 days. We have an early flight in and a late flight out.

I was worried that all we would be doing is going from resturant to resturant. Seems like that is the case.

I am thinking that maybe we can change back to the DP. WE only have 300.00 more of our trip to pay.

Do you think that they would credit the upgrade back to us?

WE do like the CP and truefully I couldn't find any other places that we weren't going to already. I'm also worried about all the tips.

Thanks for you help. I'll try and see what we can do.

If you have already paid, and $$ refund isnt too much of a concern, try upgrading some of your restaurants to signature locations. They are 2 table service credits. Elimate some of the lunches and have signature for dinner.

California Grill, Yachtsman Steakhouse, Citricos, Narcoosees, Artist Point, Coral Reef..do some dinner shows..Spirit of Aloha (I see your already doing the HDDR). Maybe a later breakfast...9:30ish and 5 - 6pm dinners. You will still have the snack credits to hold you over if necessary.

After a day or two at most I would be sick of eating with a plan like this!

I would probably do things like more signature restaurants and a couple of dinner shows if I was on the deluxe plan. We originally looked into the deluxe plan for our family but it was unrealistic because we will be there in the July heat and not hungry in that kind of heat! So we have one TS per day, maybe two if we do a character breakfast. But other than one character breakfast, all TS meals for us are dinner. Nice air-conditioned restaurant after a long hot day.

I am also looking forward to more of the fresh salads and fruits at the buffets. Better in the heat. I guess it depends on what you order in a la carte places, but remember appetizer is also included on the deluxe plan which is not included in the regular plan!
