We will be at WDW 12/25-1/1, it is my 11th or 12th trip. We are staying at CSR resort, deluxe dining plan. This trip is just myself , my husband, my son(10) and my daughter(4, but turning 5 0n 1/4/11). We usually travel wit hour friends, but we weren't able to coordinate schedules for this trip.

I am new to this, but would love to "give back" to all that have provided me with such valuable info, so i will make a go at some reviews during our trip.

Sounds great! You are gonna be stuffed on Dec 26...that is sooo much food!

That looks absolutely wonderful!

Have you done 3 sit down meals a day before? That is a lot of food and time.

we do 3 meals per day some days... just be careful to space them far apart. we always do the dxddp and are huge fans of it. we like getting out of the weather to sit down, be waited on and have unlimited drinks with our food.

you may want to save some $$ and skip the dessert party because you will be soooooooo stuffed.

also (you may be aware, but just to be sure) i counted 22 credits needed (minus the tea party and the dessert party) -- if you are going to OOP a meal... I would do one of the breakfasts which are cheaper.

Yes, we have done three meals a day in the past. Having been to WDW during the holidays in the past, we have found that we really despise th CS restaurants because of the lines and lack of places to sit down. I really enjoy having the time to sit and chill a bit. I am pretty good at not overeating/ leaving some on the plate.

We also enjoy doing the character dining, because it ends up saving time waiting in line for some of the characters.

As it turns out, I ended up having knee surgery three weeks ago, so I think it will turn out to be a big benefit to sit down!

you counted correctly. I was thinking of paying OOP for Tony's lunch, a salad will be a good choice at that point!
