Specific questions about dining, and a few miscellaneous...

[aymekae]

Hi all! Please help me, even if you don’t know the answers to all of my questions, because any bit helps.

I’m figuring out a dining schedule and itinerary, and I have a few questions about it.

1) Can snack credits be used at Joy of Tea and/or Royal Anandapur Tea Company?

2) I’m staying at WL, and I don’t eat much breakfast, but my DF will eat a huge breakfast everyday. I noticed that Roaring Forks has snacks, which would be fine for me for breakfast. My question is will he be able to get his own breakfast buffet, and I get my snack, and we eat in the same place? (Silly question, I know, but I don’t want to get there and find out only paying customers can sit at the table!)

3) Which of these places would you rather pay OOP instead of using DDP? Whispering Canyon (D), Crystal Palace (B), Liberty Tree Tavern (D), Akershus (B), Le Cellier (L or D), 50s Primetime (L), or Hollywood & Vine Fantasmic Dinner Package.

4) Is DisneyQuest worth it for 2 adults? My DF loves arcades, so the description sounds wonderful, but I don’t hear many people talking about it at all. One review I read was that it was pretty outdated. What do you think?

5) I thought I read once that you can purchase just one club ticket for Pleasure Island, but now I can’t find any information. We’re only interested in checking out Adventurer’s Club… how could we pay for just that one?

Thanks in advance!

That is the counter service at WL so you'll be fine sitting together but it's not a breakfast buffet. I saw on the Roaring Forks menu that they have the Made to Order Yogurt Parfait. I got this almost every morning at the Beach Club in December. It counted as a snack credit there.

Definitely the cheapest one which is Cystal Palace (B) at $18.99 per adult. Just make sure you let them know when you check-in with the hostess that you will not be using DDP. I usually also tell the waiter/eress that too.

4) Is DisneyQuest worth it for 2 adults? My DF loves arcades, so the description sounds wonderful, but I don’t hear many people talking about it at all. One review I read was that it was pretty outdated. What do you think?
Definitely. My dh loves this place. He can spend a whole day there with no problems.

5) I thought I read once that you can purchase just one club ticket for Pleasure Island, but now I can’t find any information. We’re only interested in checking out Adventurer’s Club… how could we pay for just that one?According to allearsnet you can only buy one club pass for Rock 'n' Roll Beach Club, BET SoundStage Club, Mannequins Dance Palace, Motion or 8TRAX. It excludes the Comedy Club and the Adventurer's Club. Found the info here http://www.allearsnet.com/btp/faq_pi.htm

As for Disney Quest, we haven't been since we lived in Orlando in 2000, but we thought it was really fun! They had some cool simulators and some other fun things... it's been 8 years so I can't remember exactly! Maybe someone else has been more recently....

Thanks for all your help! I went back and looked at Roaring Forks menu, and you're absolutely right, it's a counter service! I think I'm confusing it with Trail's End at FW. So confusing, lol. But it looks like they have a full hot breakfast for my DF, and regular stuff for me, so I'm happy with that. Yay!

I guess you also brought up another question for me. When you make an ADR with the dining plan, is the restaurant automatically aware of that, too? I just assumed you had to tell them when you get there that you are on the DDP, but it sounds like it's the opposite: they know you are, and if you want to pay OOP instead, then you should let them know.

This system is so contrary to anything I've ever done, so it's difficult to figure out exactly how it's going to play out. (Yes, I'm one of those people who quiver at the mere thought of an awkward situation!)

Aha... DisneyQuest for adults! Yay! Glad to hear we're not off the mark.

And finally, thanks for the difference between one club/multi-club. I'm trying to decide if the "Water Parks and more" option is worth it, but I figured we would only use it for Adventurer's Club and DisneyQuest. Maybe purchasing those separately when we get there would be a better value?
