we may end up with 1 or 2 cs credits left from 2nd half of trip, but if we kind of share an extra little bit here and there we should use them all

Any thoughts? I tried to spread out the meals so they are not close together. We dont consider time spent in table service restaurants wasted touring time, we welcome the break. Plus, we are annual visitors so we tour at our own pace. I had always thought the deluxe plan was way too much, but since we will only actually have it for 4 nts of the trip it doesnt seem like it will be! Plus we are doing 1 dinner show. So excited cant wait to go!

Tues might be too close since the lunch is a buffet and you might not be seated at 11:45 and dinner is at 6 you might not be hungry.
We've done the delux plan a few times. We sometimes think its too much food and thats without doing buffets, only eating 2 TS a day (we do a signature once a day) and our snacks go to water or stuff to bring home. But we like to order an app & go to signatures anyway so its saved us a lot of money which is why we got the plans. We won't do it anymore at least for now because we got annual passes & a TIW card.

I would do a late breakfast that day.

Also on your Wed, you have 2 buffets. That might be a lot, to me, maybe not to you. I think thats also why people on here say its a lot of food, because of the buffets. If you don't do buffets, you usually eat less and aren't coming back here saying the DxDP was too much food. Otherwise the times look good.

Unless you are going for the characters, I would change Hollywood & Vine to something else at HS or try to make it a breakfast so you have more time in between meals. I agree with PP. Two buffets in one day is a lot of food.

Definitely going for the characters. DS who will be 3 is a huge Oso fan.
