Hi! It is hard planning everything ahead of time and trying to please everyone! Here is my problem we have the DDP with six dinner credits.


9/2 We arrive this day about 2:30 and plan to check out the hotel and swim, have dinner at the HDDR at 7:15 and take the boat over to MK when we are done for the late hours 10-1.(also hope to catch a glimple of the water parade.

9/3 Water park and PPP counter service all day

9/4 Lay around a relax in the morning CRT at 2:45 for lunch. Come back and Disney Quest in the evening

9/5 Animal Kingdom Ohana for dinner at 4:00 and maybe back to AK

9/6 Cm in the morning at 8:20 for breakfast and off to MGM Primetime at 4:45 and stay at MGM for fantasmic.

9/7 water park in the morning dinner at Epcot at 4:45 Princess storybook and stay at Epcot for the evening (Epcots late night)

9/8 open to do what we want to do again leave at 4:00 for the airport.

Okay what do you think I am over 2 table meals, what do I cancel or do I keep them and pay for two of them if so which ones go or which ones do I pay for??????

I have three children 11 yr old boy, 8 yr old boy, and 6 yr old daughter. I want my daughter to experience princesses since she has not and she is at the age for it and it will fade fast. I also want my boys to do fun things and not just feel like it is a trip for her. (we are doing both princess meal so we can eat at the castle and see Arial at PSB dinner) any help would be great!!! Sorry so long. Chris

HDDR is two credits isn't it? That would be a good one to pay out of pocket for if you choose.

Going from AK to Ohana and back might be a bit of a stretch and you do have CM for breakfast one day. Another one to consider dropping. Or you could pay out of pocket for CM since the breakfasts are less of a value per credit.

Tough choices!

Thanks for your reply, when you say it might be a stretch from Ak to Ohana are you talking in distance or buses? Wouldn't we be able to take a bus from AK to Poly? And do you know if CM is a per head charge since it is a buffet? At least I would know the bottom line. I actually think that CRT is cheaper than the HDDR although I might be mistaken. Thanks Chris

First yes you could just hop on the Poly bus from Ak to get to Ohanas. It will actually be easier than from another resort.
Second I am in the same situation. I have 3 more ADR's than I have TS credits. This is how I figured out what I would be paying out of pocket for. Yes the breakfast meals are cheaper than lunch and dinner. So I am paying out of pocket for 2 breakfast meals. I went threw and priced them all to see which would be cheaper. I am paying out of pocket for CRT. Seeing the lunch is $33.99 if you divide it in 2 it works out to $17 per TS credit and most TS dinner meals are $26. So it's cheaper to pay for that meal. On the other hand the HDDR prices are from $55-$59. So it would be more of a value to use the 2 TS credits on it. You also need to figure in costs at a NON buffet meal. Seeing I only order an appt. & dessert because it comes w/ the meal I take this into consideration when deciding which one to pay out of pocket for. I LOVE the onion rings and dessets @ Prime Time so I use a TS there. However I usually only get a burger at Sci-Fi so I pay out of pocket there.
Hope this helps!

Hi! thanks for the info. I have credit for 6 Table service meals and have 8 planned, If I pay out of pocket for CRT then I will be done. When you POP the set amount of the meal does this include app. and desert in the price? What about grituity, I would assume not. Thanks again. Chris

If your talking about CRT it would include everything but the gratuity. It's a get price for the meal. It's actually a pre-paid meal. However you can just tell them your not using your TS credits upon entering.
