Just booked DDP

[shortkathleen]

Ok, I finally decided to take the plunge and order the DDP for our trip in Dec. I am sure we could eat cheaper but I think this will take the stress out of dining and let us experience some places we wouldn't otherwise experience.

My question is, with my current ADRs do you think we are missing out on anything or is it a good mix? Any input would be great. This is our first trip to WDW so we are totally new at this.

Dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern (Characters)
Dinner at Le Cellier (should we change to Coral Reef) We have a 5, 8, 9yr old)
Breakfast at Cinderellas Castle (I couldn't believe I got this one!)
Dinner at Ohana
Dinner at Sci-Fi
Dinner at Turf Club at SSR (we are staying at Saratoga with our DVC for the first time and my MIL really wants to eat at her home resort. Any opinions on this one)

Thanks for your help!!

looks good to me. good choice on the dining plan, youll love it!!
personally though i would change le cellier to coral, but that just because i dont care for le cellier, but since youve been to neither, its not really going to matter.

Sounds good to me-you've got a good mix of character and non-charcter meals. I can't say about Coral Reef as we haven't eaten there but since you already got LC (which is hard to come by) I would stick with that. (Though our last meal there was a disappointment-server phoned it in, my DM never got her wine, the floor was dirty)

The only thing about SciFi is since you'll be seated in cars (2 per row) it may make it a little difficult with the kids-but then 2 of them should be old enough to eat on their own! (I just noticed MIL is going-so how many are in your group? Someone here can tell you the max. size group the cars can accomodate. If you decide to skip Sci Fi I can heartily rec. 50's PTC. We like the food, and when it's good, love the character interaction.

Sorry, I can't say about Turf Club-haven't eaten there. We've only eaten at the food court at SSR.

We enjoyed Lecellier but loved Coral reef. The food was just as good and my daughter loved the aquarium. Also dont forget you can make an appointment to have a diver surprise them with a sign.
Liberty Tree was okay. I would also recommend Crystal Palace breakfast. The winnie the pooh characters are great and the food selection was one of the best breakfast buffets.
Cinderellas Castle breakfast is a must try at least once.
Ohana was a blast. You should enjoy it very much
Sci Fi was fun. Your kids should like sitting in the cars. It is a little dark in there though.
Seems like a good selection. Hope you have a good time

There are 7 in our group, so at Sci-Fi we can split up to 4 and 3. The CM told me only 6 at a car. My vote is that the 3 kids get their own table so us grown ups can have our own. I Know, I know wishful thinking!

Sounds really good, and I can say that Turf Club is one of our favorites We've eaten there 3-4 times now, great food and service

I would keep LeCellier, Coral Reef was only ok when we went but we've always had good meals at LC.
