I see you have a 22 month old with you. I took my two year old a few months ago and I will say for my kids that is a lot of just sitting and eating. She would not have been happy with that. I limited our table service meals to one a day and if I had to push it twice a day with one being BF since that is quick. All other meals were counter service or off site.

With that said I think they sound good! Great places but for us we wouldnt' want to spend that much time sitting at restaurants and eating.

Yippee on teh deluxe dining plan!
 
My opinion is that's way too many sit down dinners for a 22 month old!

I would do the breakfast, just a quick counter service lunch, and then
dinner. Some days I wouldn't even do a sit down breakfast, just have some
breakfast foods in the room.

Great choices for dinners though!
 
Great selections. In my opinion, it is a lot of table service restaurants though. It will cut down on your time in the parks, and it is a lot of eating. Most times, when I any through with a meal at a table service restaurant, I am stuffed to the gills:goodvibes You may want to just grab a counter service lunch/breakfast at times, or skip certain meals all together.
 

I agree with the previous posters. That will be a LOT of food! I know it sorta seems like a waste to do Deluxe Dining and not use all your credits on table service, but you will be wasting an awful lot of park time. I agree with DisneyMomx7, a TS breakfast and dinner with a counter service lunch would allow you much more flexibility in your day-and hopefully will allow you to be better able to tour during the day since you won't be so stuffed. :thumbsup2

Your choices of restaurants look good, btw. Good luck with getting all the ADR's you want!
 
I agree with all previous posters....three TS is a lot in one day, especially for a 22 mo old. You did choose all great restaurants. I see you have Chef Mickey's twice for breakfast...I'd skip that first morning since you're going to Coral Reef and Biergarten later in the day. If you want your grandchild to see Mickey first thing, go to Chef Mickey's for dinner the night you arrive. I would also do either Sci-Fi OR 50's PTC, not both. Same with CRT, LTT and CP...pick at the most two, not all three. I'd eliminate CRT or LTT.

You will get your money's worth from the DxDDP if you do some CS restaurants. Don't worry! We did DxDDP in February and felt we got our money's worth from it even with my husband being sick in bed for two whole days.

Good luck!
 
I think you have way too many heavy meals in one day and you will be so full you cannot enjoy the food. DH and I did a TS breakfast and TS dinner each day in March/April and we were so full we could not enjoy the meals and we missed out on some great CS places and snacks.

If it were me I would trim back some things.....
 
I just wanted to add that you will be stuffed and probably be tired of eating. LOL

What we do with our two kids...2 and 8 was have BF in our condo. Something light. Cereal, waffles, oatmeal.

Table service lunch. This was our rest period. A nice character meal with air conditioning nad beverages.

Dinner was either a counter service, back at the condo or offsite with family.

And with that I felt stuffed ALL THE TIME!
 
I have to agree with everyone else. Too much food!! We've done the regular dining plan the past 3 years and that was plenty of food. By the end of the trip, I was kinda tired of all the food.

It will also keep you from a lot of time at the parks and hardly give you any flexibility either. It would stress me out to be that much on a schedule--worrying about missing our ADR and not having enough time.

I know when we took my oldest daughter at 20 months, she really didn't want to stop and eat, she wanted to be outside running around!! Also seems like it would not give your grandson much time to rest and he will need it.
 
Although you have great restaurant choices, IMO you have planned WAY TOO MANY TS meals. I fear you will feel as if you are simply traveling from one TS meal to the next, with little time left for Park touring. We have been many times on the regular DDP. We are not breakfast eaters, and we do fine with juice, fruit and coffee in our room. We do a CS lunch and a TS dinner, and this feels like a lot of food to us.
If I ever were to do the DxDDP I would use a TS breakfast and a 2 credit Signature restaurant in the evening.
Have a great trip
