Looks Yummy! Just a few suggestions. I would switch Breakfasts on day 3, and day 4. The CS breakfast will help you make rope drop at DHS so you can get FP for TSM.

On day 7 I would have lunch at The Plaza, although I have never eaten there, the reviews show yummy sandwiches and sundaes.

Have a wonderful trip!
 
WOW - that is a ton of food and a ton of time sitting at meals. If this is your first time I would bet this is a little over kill (you will miss lots of park time sitting at meals) if you have gone many times than it is a nice, diffferent experience.

Anyway sounds YUMMY!

Keep in mind that you each will have 21 TS credits available on the plan (3/night x 7 nights = 21). This is important because you have several signature places which will cost 2 TS each (Brown Derby, Yachtsman, California Grill, and I think that In-Room Dining will also cost extra). Now, if you're willing to pay OOP for the extra places, it's not a problem, but just something to think about.

Like has been said, it IS a lot of sitting at meals, and if not spaced properly, could leave dinners as less than desirable (aka, you may not be hungry yet).

Also, Le Cellier and Yachtsman on the same day may be a bit much, since they both serve similar menus. Of course, you're not likely as picky as I am and wouldn't have steak both times :p.
 

Thanks everyone so far, it is lovely to get other peoples opinion as you get overwhelmed by the whole reservation process.

I will need to count over the the credits to make sure we have enough. I may change Yachtsman for Artist Point or Citricos as it did cross my mind that the menu's were similar.

Your choices look great!!! Some of our favs are on your list
 
I personally see nothing wrong with your ressies. I think there are a lot of anti-dlxddp people. Disney portions are not huge. Unless you are a really tiny eater it is not an issue. As for time taken up by all those sit down meals, I think you need to relax and take it easy through out the day. I find that the staff try to get you in and out as fast as they can so time is not wasted.

Honestly I just about feel full with the portions they feed you. Hubby would most likely still be hungry at some meals. It is why he likes the buffets.
 
I think as long as you're okay with spending your time sitting at meals, it looks like a great sampling of what Disney has to offer in terms of dining. People need to realize that not everyone goes to Disney to ride all of the rides or see every show. Disney is different things to different people.

I would agree though with the LeCellier/Yachtsman comment. That might just be too much red meat in one day. Although, I suppose if you're doing an earlier lunch and a late dinner it might work out.
 
Sounds great but according to my calculations you are at 25 credit not counting the 2 meals you have yet to decide upon. That's fine if you are planning paying OOP for a few meals. Otherwise you may have to rethink things.

I count 26 + 2 meals you are thinking of adding. You have alot of 2 credit meals, (including in room dining).

We did DxDP in September and loved it. We did alot of signature (2credit) dining and only a couple days with 3 meals a day. It was alot of food but we didn't force ourselves to eat everything

Also remember with DxDP you get 2 snack credits per person per day. There are lots of yummy snacks that you will want to make room for:goodvibes

As to your picks I would recommend Tusker house for lunch the first day, and Boma is very nice for breakfast as well as dinner.
 
Yak & Yeti is SO good!

For Day 7, why not check out The Wave at The Contemporary?

Day 3 1900 Park(B) 50's Prime Time(L) Hollywood Brown Derby(D) (Hollywood Studios) Are you planning on the Fantasmic Package for Brown Derby?

Day 4 Mara(B) In Room Dining(L) Narcoose(D) (Day off or water park)

CP is a great breakfast and LTT is dh's fave I am trying Cali Grill in Dec
Day 7 Kona Cafe(B) ????????(L) Ohana(D) (Magic Kingdom)
Have done Ohana for bkfst--only problem I have with them is the checkin always takes forever.
Day 8 Booking out Day. Boma(B) ????????(L) (Park of choosing)

I like your choices, but I think you might be trying too many sit down restaurants. When we do the DxDP (our favorite plan), we do 1 TS Breakfast, 2 TS Dinner, and snack credits for lunches. Good luck getting everything!
 
As previous posters have said you have several signature restaurants (2TS credits per person) on your list. Jiko, Brown Derby, in room dining, California Grill, Narcoossee's, Yachtsman--that is 24 credits right there. You will run out of credits before your trip is finished. Might want to consider that if paying OOP is not in your budget. ;) I'm jealous however and would love to eat at all of the signature restaurants. :)
