Nobody wants to share?

 

[goofygoobers]

I will share when I return on the 29th. I enjoyed looking at how you used yours. Thanks

 

[Mackey Mouse]

Sometimes I read what you all write about the breakdown on the DDP and think I need to go back to college, this truly boggles my mind.. It looked good to me, but then again I do not do the DDP and will not do the DDP....I think it is all about I want the control and want no one telling me how ts's or cs's I can eat in a day.. but if it works for you, terrific..

Hope you get some more answers on how others used their credits.

 

[SereneOne]

[dreamn_Disney]

We were there Aug 27 - Sep 03 and while I do not remember how we used all the CS or snack credits I do remember the TS ones.
We were a group of 2 adult/1 child for the DDP and we used one adult TS at a counter service place and then used the voucher for 2 snacks our last day at the resort. We also left with still having on CS credit not used. Here is how we used the TS
Boma 2A 1C
CRT 4A 2C
Nine Dragons 2A 1C
CM 2A 1C
Hollywood & Dine 1A 1C dd did not want to do the character breakfast.
Breakfastosauras 2A 1C

Out of curiosity, what is the point of posting how you used them, eveyone is different.

 

[goofygoobers]

The same reason I have been reading them..............for variety and to see how everyone else uses their credits. I am leaving tomorrow for my first trip on DP and I am very excited to see how everyone chooses to use their credits. Thanks Guys

 

[mrzrich]

Out of curiosity, what is the point of posting how you used them, eveyone is different.

Cause I'm curious to see if I can get ideas from others, and perhaps by sharing I can help somebody else get ideas. I've learned most of my best Disney tips from other DISers sharing their experiences

 

[snowdrift7]

We love DDP. What impresses me is when people can use up the exact number of meals they get w/DDP. DH & I were just there for 9 nights - we left with 2 TS and 10 CS unused! We even paid OOP for some TS meals for fear we'd run out But we didn't mind - no sense stressing out when you're having the best disney vacation ever.

 

[SereneOne]

I guess the planner in me makes it possible...lol...I live to plan!

 

[disneyjunkie]

Out of curiosity, what is the point of posting how you used them, eveyone is different.

Our next trip is during Easter. We'll be there for 12 nights and are using the deluxe plan. We'll have 36 CS/TS credits and 24 snack credits each.

Here's what we're doing.

Breakfast
Cape May Cafe
Kona Cafe
Chef Mickey's
Crystal Palace


Lunch
Crystal Palace
Yak and Yeti
Tappenyaki
Whispering Canyon Cafe
Prime Time Cafe
Sci Fi Dine Inn

Dinner
Boma
Hollywood Brown Derby
Narcoosees's
Ohana
Liberty Tree Tavern
Le Cellier
Coral Reef
Captain Jack's
Cape May Cafe

Most of the remaining 15 credits will be used for breakfast in the foodcourt. A few will be used for counter service meals in the parks.

I have no idea how this will help anyone else.

I refuse to worry about maxing out credits. I don't think twice about "wasting" a credit for breakfast or a character meal. If we want to order chicken instead of lobster, that's fine. If we only order an entree and a drink, that's fine.

The only thing that matters, is that I book places I feel my son and I will enjoy.

 

[zaxmom]

We just got back from a seven night stay and used all the credits. We had 3A and 1 C. We shared at a lot of the counter service meals. It really was a lot of food. I always brought back dessert to the room, but ended up throwing away about 6 of them. The ones we ate we usually just tasted.

We did go to Goofy's Candy Co yesterday to use up 14 leftover snack credits. We had a refrigerator and brought a lot of drinks with us, so only used a few of our snack credits for those. We have way too many yummy treats in this house though, because I know I am not going to walk 5 miles tomorrow.

[ExtinctDino]

I think we had a couple of extra CS credits last year, after worrying we'd run short of them. This year we came out exactly right, on CS, snacks and of course TS. Other than a bottle of wine and refillable mugs, we spent almost nothing OOP. The mugs aren't really necessary if you're on DDP, but we use them at home and view them as souvenirs.

Aside from a couple bottled waters and our refillable mug, we didn't buy anything OOP. We find the summer heat in Florida wipes out our appetites, so we eat less there than we do at home.

I think it's interesting to see other choices people make and it's always especially interesting to see some of the ways people use snack credits.

We used all of our credits but should have used snack credits on drinks instead of paying cash. We bought snacks the last day just to use them up. We ate some at the airport.

The DDP worked well for us. We like to eat more TS, so I tried to pay cash for the lesser expensive TS meals. Yet we still used all of the CS credits. I kept track of our meals as I had a schedule for the week and ADR’s, some of which we canceled and ate CS instead.

As for the mugs, one would have been sufficient for us, but we bought one for a souvenir and the other to take home to my mom.

Everybody has some good ideas for someone even if they would't fit everyones needs one idea that may come up may be a real great idea for someone. If you don't think that why read anything from this Disboards???
