So what would you do...

[2angelsinheaven]

We are staying over next week and will only be in WDW Thursday night and Friday all day. I'll have the dining plan, so we will have 1 TS each and 1 CS each. I thought about Wolf Gang Puck's Cafe in DTD for the TS and maybe Pepper Market for our CS. How does this sound? Any other ideas?

If your entire goal is to get maximum value out of the DDP, fine. If you intend to ALSO spend any reasonable amount of time at a theme park, no. Too much time involved getting between the restaurant and whatever else you're trying to do.

If you go to AK I would recommend Tusker House for your CS very filling and yummy

Not too worried about Park time, we live locally but wanted to try out some new places and so we booked a room since I've got pratice for Candlelight Thursday. We've tried Tusker and enjoyed it.

I'm guessing you have a car. I think you made 2 good choices with the DP

Where's Pepper Market? I've never tried it? Wolfgangs was nice but loud and busy. I thought it should have had a more laid back feel to it. What hotel are you staying at? The top of the Contemporary was excellent for us. If I had to choose between DD or Contemporary I'd do that.

Is Pepper Market in Coronado Springs? Mmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy if it's the one I'm thinking of. Lot's to choose from.

Yes PM is at CSR

Well 2angelsinheaven;
Wolfgangs is in DD and that's just so fun at night and it sounds like your probably at CSR and doesn't look like you'll get to WDW so that does sound perfect. PM for lunch and then the sights and sounds and delicious Wolfgang pucks for the evening.

Sounds dreamy

Did the Dining Plan Sept. 25 – Oct. 2. my wife and myself (kids both off to college).Thought it was fantastic didn’t matter to us having to be at particular parks on particular days and time, just make sure you have the hopper option for park tickets. We like going from park to park during the day anyway. Booked ADR’s 3 months in advance for the 7 days of meals.
Table Service-1st night San Angle seated in 5 minutes of arrival A+, great steak and shrimp. 2nd night Hollywood and Vine did the Fantastic meal seated in about 10 min. lots of good eats there great desserts. 3rd night Polynesian Luau had great Ribs and lots of beer and show ok took 2 points, we liked the Hoop-Dee-Doo show better. 4th night Kona Café about half hour wait but well worth it in the absolutely beautiful Polynesian Resort we added 2 to are party with no problem, the meal and the setting A++ doing this one again. 5th afternoon got in for lunch could not get into the Le Cellier for dinner this is popular and hard to book, meal and setting A++ also doing this again and adding 2 to are party was no problem. Seated in about 20 min. and well worth it. Our 6th and final was at Chefs De France waited about 45 min. service was slow (only at this restaurant) meal ok but don’t think we will do here again for a while.
Note none of these restaurants were taking walkups even during the week when the parks did not seem too crowded.
Counter Service- Paco’s Bills the best and biggest double bacon cheeseburger in the world, Cantina De San Angle did this twice love those chicken soft tacos. Toy Story Pizza Planet they have a real great veggie pizza can’t believe how fast they can make all of those pizzas. Yakitori House great setting and good food. Breakfast at the Riverside resort can’t pass a walk around our favorite resort (Old Dixie) and All Star Music, where we stayed (remember 2 in college).
Snacks- Kringla, Kringla, Kringla, Kringla, Wine Fest. Shrimp on the Barbie, and a few boxes of donates.
My grade- A+++
