I'm leaning towards pigging out on my solo days. Thank God that AKV has a gym...

should we take bets on how often you visit the gym?

You should....

Just to be different, I'm going to say no, don't do the DxDDP.

I've found I don't like planning my days around ADRs all that much. And I can't eat all that food either!!

But, if you like planning that many ADRs and you can eat that much, number crunch it and figure out what the best bet is for your buck.

Jordan:

We upgraded from free dining to the DxDDP for our trip last September. I really liked the opportunity to get appetizers (especially the sushi at Calif Grill), but by the time we were eating at 1900 Park Fare on Saturday night, I had had enough food and was not able to eat much of anything. I think I ate 3-4 bites of salad and some dessert. If I did it again, I would do it as a solo or with an all-adult party.

I booked a bounceback for next year with my parent's, but we probably won't upgrade to the DxDDP.

Eating that much food probably won't be much of a problem, but planning around my ADRs might be. I like flexibility in my solo time so we'll see if I end up keeping the DxDDP.

I'm happy that you chimed in with your thoughts since you have had 1st hand experience. I don't know if I could do it for a full week, but since it's only 4 nights and I'm by myself I might be able to swing it...we'll see. I would have to throw a breakfast in there and I am NOT a morning person...

Thanks again!

My last trip was a 2-parter. The first part was 4 nights with the reg DDP. The 2nd part was 4 nights that we upgraded to the DxDDP. So, the Saturday night at 1900 Park Fare was the 4th night of the 4 on the DxDDP. We didn't really use our snack credits very well. In fact, I didn't even have ONE of these: :! Unbelievable!

We did breakfast at Kona one day at 10:30am, not so hard for a non-morning person!

I don't like that too full feeling....hmmmm.......I also don't like eating when I 'm not hungry...I'm gonna have to think about this one.

Yeah, in 08 we had 23 snack credits with one day to go. We were trying to get full value for them and ended up with too many at the end.

I can't believe you didn't have a mickey bar, but at the beginning we didn't deem ice cream bars or soda "snack worthy"...

Ha....that's a good one!

 

[jordanyosh]

Ha....that's a good one!

Thanks i thought someone would get a chuckle out of that one!

 

[MaryAz]

Sleeping in the tub, was that here in Az this past summer
I would say for just you and 4 days to do the DDP. Sounds like it gives you a great oppertunity to try new places.

 

[oregondaddyof2]

Where's OregonDaddy to photoshop that one? It's Scuba Jordan!

How's This??

 

[jordanyosh]

How's This??

Yup that's me alright.....

We'll see what I end up doing...

So it sounds like you're going next spring again.....

 

[scottny]

Eat solo. I only read the links. I had no problem doing it. The first time is weird but I got over it.

 

[winkers]

How's This??

looks like all that time in the gym has paid off!

 

[VandyFan10]

i hate to admit this....i've slept in the tub before

Another drunk story???

One of these days I AM going to get there!! And then I can meet you and Wendy and the fam

We drove by Angel's Stadium:

Who just got completely ROBBED on a stupid call @ 3rd just now. Luckily it didn't cost an extra run and they got out of the inning......

Dining news
So what do you think? Should I pull the trigger? I don't need to pay for it right now. I can make all the ADRs and just cancel later.......

YES!! I think you should. Like you said....don't have to pay for it now and really only need to know 45 days before Go for it! Make your ADR's and then you can always cancel!

BTW - did you see my new ticker I have below?? Will have a prince or princess soon to take to the most magical place in the world! Can't wait!!!!

 

[Native NYer]

I say go for DxDP. We've done it twice. And while it is a lot of food (we didn't nearly finish all of that food), it was nice to have lots of options prepaid. And the AKL trifecta would be a reality

 

[GeminiAngel]

Wow! I really got far behind. Still catching up.* Spring for the Deluxe Dining, you only live once.

 

[All7OfUs]

Well, that was certainly something to wake up to! I could have gotten another 15 mintutes of sleep and not missed that at all!

Tub stories; one time, my mom and grandma went on a road trip (I was about 10, I think, so I don't remember where) but DGM started snoring sooooooooo bad, I bagged a place in the tub just to get away. It can happen... It can actually even be sorty comfy given enough pillows and comforters.

Gym bet: NADA, NOT ONCE, ZERO times!! After DxDDP it will be hard to roll down there, I think.
