We arrived to Orlando yesterday (Saturday) and checked in at the All-Stars this morning early about 9:30 a.m. (before the Magical Express Buses started). Very crowded at check-in although the crowds got worse before they got better! Surprisingly, our room was ready which the CM said was very unusual!
There were no problems getting a snack today, and no problems with the counter service.
Our dinner was scheduled for Le Cellier. We arrived about 30 minutes before our reservation and there were people walking up and still getting a table with only a 10 minute wait.
We were shown to our table almost immediately and we mentioned throughout that although there were 3 of us, we were only going to use 2 dinner credits (as in SHARE). Nobody blinked an eye, and even the server (the wonderful "Jennifer") said that it was a good idea because there would be so much food. We were treated royally and everything was explained to us about what we could get including the blender non-alcoholic drinks which were included! Our 3rd person just ordered water. We proceeded to order the 2 appetizers of steak kabobs and shrimp cocktail on wasabe cole slaw which were brought out immediately. Service was quick and the food was delicious. Breadsticks were also brought and we were asked if we wanted any more. When the entrees (salmon and 14 oz. steak) were brought out, they also brought extra plates and we didn't even have to ask.
We later ordered desserts (chocolate whiskey cake and specialty strawberry ice cream creation) and the desserts were explained to us after the dinner when they brought the special dessert menu for us to choose from.
The check was then promptly delivered (total over $100 with tip already figured in) and we just signed copy of the bill.
The only thing we didn't ask about was there was a cheese appetizer which said "served 2" and a special chef's dessert sampler which said "served 2" and we didn't ask whether that counted for 1 credit or 2.
All in all, it was a wonderful experience and everyone seemed genuinely glad to serve us. We were treated wonderfully and didn't spent a penny out of pocket for any meals or snacks! We can't wait for the rest of our dining trip.
P.S. The crowds in the parks weren't as bad as we thought they would be.
The weather was also not too bad with a breeze most of the day and a slight rainshower in the evening.

I can't wait for our vacation in September with the free DP. I've never done the free DP and I am so looking forward to it. Hope the rest of your experiences are just as nice as this one. Enjoy the rest of your vacation.
