OK, What do you think????

OK, myself, DH, DS 8 and DS 9 will be going to DW for the VERY FIRST TIME in early April ( I am sososososososososo excited!!! ) and this is what I've planned for our dinner meals. What do you think? Good choices? Yes, I've done reservations but can change them. We are on the dining plan....can DH and I share a meal if there is too much food? Can you take left overs back to your room?....we call them "doggy bags" here. Age appriopriate? Any advice or thoughts???

Monday: day of arrival Being Canadian ourselves...Le Cellier
Tuesday: Liberty Tree at MK
Wednesday: nothing....can DH and I share a meal???
Thursday: Spirit of Aloha at the Poleynesian Resort....2 Meal tickets per person, hence why we have nothing for Wednesday dinner....will be mighty hungry!!!
Friday: Chef Mickey....my boys 8 & 9 good ages for this?
Saturday: Ohana
Sunday: nothing again

So, thoughts? Doggy bags would make great breakfasts as we are planning on mostly going back to our hotel after dinner and there is a fridge. Do people split meals on plan and have doggy bags or is that a big no-no???

How about Giordanos pizza for one of those unplanned meals? Makes great left overs and I have heard the pizza is the best. I for sure have it on my list for June! Yum, left over pizza for breaakfast.

I love left overs when I travel and it's great that you will have a fridge.

your lineup of meals looks great... here are my thoughts...

unless you have your heart set on Spirit of Aloha, you might want to reconsider and go to the Hoop Dee Doo instead... my kids loved it... at 8yo ds laughed soooo hard he literally fell off his chair! that deep belly laugh will live in my head forever!

as far as splitting sit-down meals... we never tried it, but that doesn't mean you can't do it... the only restaurant on your list that you could split at is lecellier... the rest are either buffet or "all-you-care-to-eat" which cannot be shared...

you can, however, split counter service meals... and we did this quite often...

for breakfast we found that if we got the "big" breakfast platter and paid for a bagel out of pocket and used a snack credit for a big bowl of grapes, we had enough food to feed three of us (ds got the sausage patty on the bagel, dd got the eggs and biscuit, i got the bacon and potatoes and we all shared the grapes) and dh got his own meal (some of which we might has snagged LOL)

for lunch we found that two meals could typically feed three of us or three meals could feed four of us... in mexico/epcot we got two combo platters and an order of nachos and everyone was satisfied... at caseys in magic kingdom we split three hotdogs/3 orders of cheese fries/3 sodas and 3 brownies and all went away stuffed!

salads also went a long way 'cause ds would eat all the meat/cheese on top and i would eat the salad part...

at pizza planet we were able to feed four of us on two pizza/salad meal deals which included dessert...

at our resort food court, two CS credits were used to buy a big 16" pizza and two sides which more than fed our family and gave us some pizza leftovers for the next day...

we also took our dessert from sit downs in doggy bags (can't do this at buffets or all-you-care-to-eats) and had them for breakfast (teehee, don't tell my mother! LOL!)

snack credits can also be used for "breakfast" if you like mickey krispie treats!

i hope this helps you make the most of the dining plan and not go hungry!
