Morimoto on Dining Plan

[Juliette58]

We are doing a DDxP and have reservations for Morimoto. How does the plan work for this. What can you order? If you want more can you pay OOP?

I had also researched this, in preparation for an upcoming trip. This is what I pulled (I think from the Disney Parks Mom's Panel)

Appetizer selections include any one item from the Small Plates, Dim Sum, and Sushi Rolls, or can be a cup of Soup (Miso or Hot & Sour).

Entrées can be any combination of:

* two Sushi Rolls

* two Dim Sum

* two Small Plates

* one Entrée Salad

* one selection from Meat + Poultry, Noodles + Rice, Half-Rack Morimoto Spare Ribs, Fish or Vegetables sections of the menu.

*Dessert

I do know, from prior experience on the DxDP, if you want something not covered, you just simple pay out of pocket.

If you're going for dinner and are mostly interested in small plates, dim sum, and sushi rolls, you're better off paying OOP and applying those two credits/person to upgrading other 1TS meals to Signatures.

Depending on what you order, the value isn't even as good as some 1TS. For instance, someone ordering soup, 2 sushi rolls, dessert and a non-alcoholic drink would be using 2 credits for a $45 dinner (less than a 1TS character meal, for instance).

Most of the entrees (or 2 items that can be combined as an entree) are much cheaper than other 2TS restaurants, with just a few exceptions like the filet.

Unless it has changed, lunch is 1 credit, which makes it much better use of the DxDP.

Thanks for the replies!! We don’t eat breakfast so 3 credits a night may be all we need even if we go to 2TS places every night??

When I do the DxDP, I typically schedule a 2 TS credit dinner and a 1 TS credit lunch... but change it up as needed, to include an odd breakfast here or there. Lets say you are there for 4 days. You have 12 credits to use for that entire span. You don't to specifically do 3 a day, just make sure it adds up to the 12 credits used at the end of your check out day. So if you do Morimoto for lunch it is 1 credit. You could then do a 2 credit dinner. That means you get to eat at 2 nice places in one day.

Whether utilising the DDxP, or at home, we are not big breakfast eaters either. We use snack credits at our resort's QS/ food court, to purchase fresh and whole fruit as well as yogurt suits us fine as a day's start and the refillable mug included with the dining plan is a great starter upper for a hot beverage of milk and hot chocolate mix or tea. The coffee at the food courts is hideously bad so if you like that kind of caffeine you might want to bring something like Starbuck's instant packets.

A 1 TS and one 2 TS meal daily is a good use of the DDxDP from my POV and as long as the OOP comparable cost of those two meal gets me to the breakeven cost of the dining plan I really don't care if I'm "wasting" snack credits or for that matter the mug since now we generally do CL stays.

This is pretty much what we do. We are here right now and ate at Morimoto for lunch yesterday (yum!) and had Yachtsman for dinner. Both were delicious. I personally wouldn't choose Morimoto for dinner since two of our party of four tend to do the ramen for our entree.

We are on the reg DDP in Sept and doing Morimoto for lunch and looking forward to it.
