I am in the world this week and I just want to warn everyone of a few things,the fddp is awsome,already I am sick of eating and I still have until Friday but if you did not make ADR's during this plan for TS you will not be able to get them,So many people complaining that they can not use the DP!!!!!
We made all ours months ago but there are people out there who have really no idea that they were suppose to do this

so far we have done
Friday Whispering canyon for lunch{paid out of pocket}yummy food
Saturday-qs at mgm commisary,and
hollywood and vine-yummy and our service was awsome(so people know we are a party of 9 at all our meals so tips included)but our waiter was so great we tipped him more.
Sunday-QS at POR for lunch and Dinner at Chef mickey's,Charecters were not doing a great job,I think it has kinda dies down there since the last few times.
Monday- was donalds breakfast at AK and it was okay,service was okay and the park was mobbed so we are back getting ready for HopDedoo tonight..keep you posted

It's sad really. Unless you read on here or other boards you just won't know anything about making ADR's, let alone 180 days out!

Can you purchase the meal plan if you are staying offsite?

It is sad, but it was my understanding--mostly from the boards--that Disney contacted people multiple times prior to their arrival about making ADR's.

Can you purchase the meal plan if you are staying offsite?

Unfortunately, no. It is offered as part of a package deal for on-site resorts only and as an add-on for DVC owners/renters. Swan, Dolphin and Shades of Green are not eligible for the DDP either.

Thanks for the update and quick dining report. Luckily I made our ADR's in April and June. The only thing I'm concerned with is I know we won't be able to keep them all. There will be some days when we will go off property to explore Florida. On the days that we don't keep our ADRs we may end up using some TS for CS and getting the free pin or 2 snacks. (Hmmm, maybe that's why they are offering it?)

We are, as of today, 19 days away and we haven't received any calls from Disney regarding ADRs.

Thanks again.

Well here are some more of my meals,Hoopdedoo was great{corney}but the food was good,but how people return time and time again???
Tuesday-Cosmic rays and MK for a qm and I had the yummy chicken meal,that evening we had ESPN our favorite meal and yes it's in the DDP but he was so confused that it took about 30 minutes to figure out the bill of 2 families,we did cancel the Charecter meal at Crystal palace because we were sick of buffet meals.
Wed- we had a quick breakfast at Epcot after soaring{don't miss this ride}then a turkey leg for lunch followed but the most awsome meal at Coral reef,This is our new favorite place,we had the crab cakes,steak,pizza{my daughter wouldn't try anything,the salmon,all the food was great including the calamar and shrimp and to top it off the kids had icecream and I had the WAVE This was soooooooo good,my dh had the cheese cake.......
Tomorrow we will be doing some qs meals not sure where yet but it's our last day......

We've never had a phone call. We have ADRs, but I doubt they got everyone, since they didn't call us.

They didn't call me until 5 days before my trip. So you still have time to get a call.
