Sorry this is so long, but I am just in excited sharing mode! 
On a whim we booked 3 weeks ago to go to OKW for 16 nights from 26th Jan to 11 Feb!! Just the DH and I 
Now, we have never used the DDP before (in fact we have only ever made 2 ADRs before 
), and as we have the free DDP with our booking (we could not have afforded to go this time without it) we are getting our heads around having to plan a lot more than we would normally like to! And also, being only a couple of months before going we weren’t sure about how easy it would be to get the ADRs we wanted.
We have been surprised by how much we have enjoyed the more detailed planning so far and have been able to get many ADRs we wanted whilst planning around what we thought we’d be doing, so can maybe see it working! We have 3 TS credits each left unused as we would like to go to Beaches and Cream, and maybe catch a couple of unbooked TS. On the 10th and 11th Feb we won’t have Disney tickets so can't eat in the parks, and at some point intend to go to IOA, so need a bit of slack in our schedule. But so far this is what we have and I wanted to share as I LOVE reading other people’s plans!!
26th Jan – 7pm Olivia’s – we arrive at the hotel about 5pm and know we will be too tired after our long journey and with the time difference to go out of OKW. Never tried Olivia’s anyway so should be fun!
27th – No ADRs. This is deliberate – based on last year we know we will be up stupidly early! So we will have breakfast at an offsite diner at about 6am, and be at MK for EMH rope drop for 8! Casey’s for lunch!! We dream about those hotdogs and it is our first day tradition! We will go to DTD for early evening and hope to eat at T Rex, if not sit outside Paradiso under the heaters and have cocktails and snacks! Then an early night.
28th – 3pm Tutto Italia – we will still be a little jetlagged so a late lunch rather than dinner, and we LOVE sitting outside here on a sunny day. It feels like our hols in the Med!
30th – 8:15am Chef Mickey’s
31st – A EMH morning at AK so we hope to have brekkie at the RFC. 19:45 – Kouzzina’s
2nd Feb – 19:10 Narcoosee’s
3rd Feb – 9:15am Crystal Palace, 18:45 San Angel Inn
4th Feb – 14:50 Le Cellier. Try as we might we could NOT get a dinner ressie for the whole of our stay, and as we haven’t eaten there before we wanted to try it.
5th Feb – 19:40 Cali Grill
6th Feb – 14:20 Mama Melrose Fantasmic Package – this is the one I'm not sure about, and we're thinking of cancelling this as the lunch menu at MM doesn’t look too inspiring. This was the only FP I could get for our stay, and I am thinking I may not need one to see Fantasmic at this time of year? Will have to research that one.
8th – 20:45 V&A, so excited!!
9th – 19:20 Les Chefs de France
So there you have it!! A few tweaks needed, and I keep checking for a Le Cellier dinner ressie becoming free, but I feel pretty happy with these!
