Looking forward to reading your report! Is it really that much more to move from DDP to DxDP?? Wow! When I went in 2011 I was able to move from Quick Service to DDP for an additional $10/day.

Hello Friends! We returned back last night happy and full. Did things go as planned?! No , as traveling with a teething grouchy 14 month old did pose some challenges, but we all made it out of WDW alive I can't wait to share our dining adventures with you. So stay tuned!!

Welcome back Lori! I look forward to hearing all the details. Heck, traveling with a baby is hard enough without teething so for anything that went without a change in the dining plans for the day I'd consider a win! I know at least one of the dinners you did make!

Arrival Day! We arrive to the Beach Club around 1:30 and were taken up the CL floor for check in. We were immediately given the sparking strawberry drink you can only get at check in. My DH doesn't like it so I was able to enjoy both!! The lounge was full of afternoon goodies with the following offerings: homemade chips with ranch (omg worth the CL floor), cookies, crackers, chocolate covered pretzels, trial mix, hummus, and multi colored Swedish fish. They also have a punch called stormalong bay that is homemade and it's fantastic. There was also tea, coffee, lemonade, sparkling water, and regular water. So more than enough for a nice afternoon snack. I did not take any pictures of the offerings for the afternoon. For dinner that evening I did take photos. Offerings from 5-7 that Sunday included salmon rosette, veggies, dips, different cheese offerings/crackers, marinated olives, tomato salad, balsamic dressing, counch fritters, goat cheese and roasted red pepper triangles, pb jelly with rolls, and apples! More than enough for a meal if you enjoy the offerings.

For dinner that evening we weren't too hungry so we ventured around WS and decided to share the Shawarna Platter at the Tangerine Cafe. Instead of the dessert they let me sub for fries, which Alexander enjoyed a few! The platter has lamb, beef, salad, couscous, hummus, and pita bread. Everything was delicious and very authentic as usual. Also if you're on the dining plan excellent use of a credit.
