hello!
Firstly Thanks for checking out my Dining PTR
I have spent literally HUNDREDS of hours sat at my laptop reading reviews and menus! I LOVE amazing food and I love the experience of eating out as a family.

We decided to do the DDP for convenience over cost saving.
Rather than splitting a bill or having to order seperately at CS we just felt this would be easier. Also my sister and I are not the biggest eaters so we tend to order either appetizers, smaller entrees, kids meals at CS and never order dessert just because of the amount of food you are given. I would rather order the salmon or the steak but I don't becuase I know I will only eat 1/3-1/2 of it. Somehow being on the dining plan, despite the fact we know we are paying for it really, just makes us feel better about doing this! AND we can order a dessert even if it is just for a few mouthfulls!
I chose to do the DxDP for our last 4 nigts basically because we wated to do a few signatures and character meals so we again thought it would make life easier, not save us a fortune! (It will be just DH, me DD and my mum the last 4 nights so we want to relax having done the parks A LOT in the 1st 11.)
I am also planning on paying OOP at a couple of restaurants like RFC and T-rex or on evenings where I am just not htat hungry and realy just want an Apetizer. This way we will have a couple of extra TS credits so me and DH can go to Jiko
I am going to take pictures at the TS meals but prob not at the CS unless something is really nice! I promise I will do full reviews at everywhere we eat, including the CS locations, I have read THOUSANDS of posts about eating healthy in WDW. Whilst they were helpful they really suggest picking restaurants to suit your needs, but the rest of our family doesn't want to eat like me, so we will be going to the restaurants that EVERYONE wanted so I will be reporting on what I managed to get to suit my needs.
Anyway,
here is our current dining schedule. we go 8th-29th Aug (at I-Drive 1st)

) so it's really only the summer holiday where we have the opportunity to come for anything more than 14 nights. 
Having said that DH,DD and I have booked our first 
but we are only doing 5 nights in Disney beforehand to keep the budget within our reach! Because we knew we couldn't go for as long if we wanted to do the cruise it didn't really matter when we booked so we chose for the weather!
