I got a request in my in box, thought it might be worth a thread. I'll start it off.
Note. I figure an adult credit sit down is worth about $27, and the snack and counter together about $11 together to get to the 38 bux price of the plan. For kid's I figure based upon those that bank credits, if they're not over $10 per credit you may as well bank em. If you do not intend to bank kid's credit, If they're over about $7 per credit, they got their money's worth.
Name of restaurant: Spoodles

Appetizer. Garlic Shrimp. 10.29
Meal. Oak fired NY Strip 28.49
Add Shrimp 6.29
Add Scallops 6.29
Desert
Chocolate Apricot Pistacio cake 7.29
Is it worth using DP. HECK YES!!! Total with Tax and Tip!!! $71.83 all for one credit.

Appetizer. Garlic Shrimp 10.29
Meal. Rigitone 16.79

Note the party did not add scallops due to an alergy.
Desert Creme Brulet. 7.29
Is it worth Using Dp. Yes. Total $ 40.87 with Tax and tip.
Meal 4. (child)
Appetizer Flatbread 5.49 Please note this has been added since we went. My son was allowed to order flatbread off the adult appetizer menu but no more.
Meal. Grilled Beef Strip. 10.99
Desert Make your own sunday. It's brought out on an artist's palate. 5.49
Is it worth using DP Yes. Total of $26.91
This would have definitely been a meal to use the kid's credit rather than bank it.
Restrictions. No add ons for the kids. Add ons could be had with both pastas and the steak only. You can also add chicken to the alfredo.
Note that this was some time ago and Disney may have tightened up on the add-ons. So don't go in expecting them. I wouldn't want to be the cause of a waitress getting screamed at because I led someone astray by being able to get them.
Is it possible to share food. Yes. We could have dropped one of the entire adult meals and probably still been stuffed. And we went in extra hungry because we were at the water park all day. As it was, we rolled out of there.
But if you wish to share, I suggest the dips rather than the shrimp as an appetizer.
I didn't add the cost of the soft drinks in because to be honest, I forgot what the prices were. Probably about 2-3 bux including the tax and tip.
Name of Restaurant.
Boma.
Location AKL
Meal. Buffet 25.99
Is it worth it on the DP. Yes. Obviously the price isn't quite what Spoodles was but the food is very good and you get all you want. Totally worth a credit in my mind.
Total with Tax and tip. $31.83
Sharing allowed? No. but kid's price is $13.80 including tax and tip and under 3 is free and they are not restricted to the kids items. Drinks are included.
Name of restaurant.
California Grill (2 credits) Note that the menu and prices change frequently with market conditions.
Meal #1..
Appetizer: Snake in the Grass Sushi 22.00
Meal Veal Tournedos (rotated off menu at the moment)
35.00
Desert. Blueberry Torte 10.00
Drink. Bottled water 7.00 Yup. Don't choke. It was 7 bux.
Worth the plan? Yes. $90.63 when all was said and done.
Meal #2.
Appetizer Tuna 3 ways sushi 20.00
Meal. Salmon 25.00
Desert. Blueberry Torte 10.00
Drink Softdrink 3.00
Worth the plan. $71.03 No. Price wise it was but as far as actual value, no. It was ok, but really not worthy of being called a signiture meal. It had to be sent back the first time. The next one we got was acceptable but imo not up to par with the rest of what we got. But I gave up some of my tournedos and my son gave up some of his steak and we helped eat the salmon.
With so many other places in the world offering good salmon and this one not being appreciably better at it, do yourself a favor. It it's on the menu here, skip it.
Meal 3:
Appetizer. California Roll 17.00
Meal Pork Tenderloin 24.00
Desert Chocolate Lava 10.00
Drink Softdrink 3.00
Worth it on the DP. Oh yes. Total of $66.14 on the plan. It was delicious. Almost as good as the veal which was spectacular.
Meal 4. (child)
Appetizer: None. None allowed on kids meal, which led to the California Rolls being ordered rather than a raw fish sushi so my son could have some.
Meal. Grilled Beef Tournedos 11.00
Desert. Kid's sushi. 3.00
Drink Milk. 2.25
Worth it on the DP. First off, his beef was very good. We gave much of it to mom and he decided plain ole salmon was good enough given mom's dismay at her meal. So in that regard it was worth it. And it is $19.90 with Tax and tip which barely measures up to getting full value out what would be paid for the credits. But my advice is to pay this out of pocket or sharing off of mommy and daddy's plates and bank the credits to be used later for something else. Example. A family of four with 2 kids can bank the 4 credits they would otherwise use. That's an extra meal at Chef Mickey's or wherever else you might want to use it.
Speaking of Chef Mickey's.
Meal
Chef Mickey's Dinner.
27.99 Buffet. Drink and desert included.
Total with Tax and tip $34.28 adults, $15.91 kids
Worth it? You bet. A great character meal and a great experience totally worth a credit. The Ham and the Prime Rib were excellent. If they're down to the tail end of the Prime Rib, just wait for the next one. The carver didn't have the experience to know you don't serve that fatty end of the roast. Other than that, two thumbs up.
No Sharing allowed.
Meal CRT lunch. (2 credits) I did it at the old prices but I'll write it up at the new)
Preplated appetizers, limited selection of entrees. I had major Domo's pie, the wife had Salmon Son had Minor Domos and got his own appetizers. The DM had Major Domos. I'm not sure if the menu's changed or not to be honest.
Is it worth it on the DP? No No, 1,000 times no. At new menu price, this is $40.42 for adults and $28.16 for kids including the tax and tip. The kid's price reaches the threshold for being worth 2 credits for what you pay at kids prices, but The problem it's not worth $28 bux. the Adults falls over $10 short of being worth the credits and in addition, it's not worth $40 bux. No way this is worth two. There is the picture package worth 30 bux but if you figure the prices increased about 15 a pop over the old prices, a family of two is just about paying for the picture but a family of 4 is paying $30 over the price of the picture. So add this 30 in, plus the fact you're $20 short of being worth two credits for the adults, and you're 50 in the hole, less 20 (the kid's got their value out) and you're 30 in the hole in getting value for your credits for a family of 2 adlults and 2 kids.
It was well worth 1 credit at the old prices. I can't see it being worth 2 when all you get for the extra credit is a picture package.
Ok I'm hungry now so I'm going to eat dinner first, then post some others.
