Tiffins & Yachtsman - Too Much?

[Colleen27]

T-Minus three days until my 180 and I can't stop tweaking my plans!

Would Tiffins and Yachtsman be too much for one day? We'd have 8+ hours between ADRs so they wouldn't be particularly close together time-wise, but I don't think we've ever done two signatures in one day before (we usually do a 1 credit lunch and signature dinner) and I'm not sure if it would be overkill. I'd be looking for an early lunch ADR, noon at the latest, paired with dinner between 8 and 9pm depending on whether the park closes at 7 or 8 that night.

I’ve never done 2 Signatures in one day either. I think you would have enough time between them as far as not being stuffed, plus I’ve heard Tiffins portions are on the small size. That said, I don’t know that I would want two signatures in one day. I think I’d rather spread them out so I’d have something nice to enjoy on multiple days.

We're on the DxDDP so we'll have lots of nice meals to enjoy. I have four signatures planned over a five-night trip. Tiffins would make five. Our usual habit is a one-credit lunch (Tiffins would replace Yak & Yeti on the itinerary) and a signature dinner on all but our Epcot day.

If we do 2 TS in 1 day, we try to do one for breakfast and then 1 for dinner. Since there are 8 hours between - for us - it would work if we kept Tiffins on the lighter side. Salad or small plate.

It'd be an awful lot of food, but if you have a late dinner, why not? Sounds delicious...and hell, its vacation!

I think the only downside would be the time dining. I love Tiffins, but I would not want to rush that meal, nor would I want to rush through YSH. Personally, if I did ntothing but visit restaurants and lounges while in Disney, I could be happy, so while I voted yes, it woudl be too much, I probably would do it anyway. My daughter has often told me that if we booked every restaurant I wanted we woudl not do anything else but eat, and she also struggles with the fact taht I am okay with that! LOL!

Sounds like fun! Did deluxe plan last trip. It was so much food, but was a lot of fun!

I agree with Nancyg56. That's just a lot of time sitting and eating. If you are ok with that, you'd be fine. Personally, I would consider eating in Nomad Lounge and then doing Yachtsman for dinner.

If you can time it right, who wouldn't want too signatures on one day You could maybe even share food at one of the restaurants if you're concerned about it. Another option would be to have a light lunch of appetizers at Nomads Lounge and enjoy some of the Tiffins flavors and ambiance but without having a full meal.

It would be way too much food for me but if you eat early enough at Tiffins it might be ok. As far as portion sizes, we ate ate at Tiffins and shared an appetizer and a dessert and walked away stuffed. If it is what you want, go for it.

Nomads doesn't work because the lounges don't accept the dining plans and with the Dx plan I'm not planning any out-of-pocket dining. But we do sometimes share meals when we're on the DxDDP, especially between my girls, simply because three courses is so much food. So that's definitely a possibility.

Our travel party for this trip is me, my college-age son and his SO who has never been to Disney before, and my 16 and 9yo daughters. DS's SO is a major foodie (dad was head chef at one of the better restaurants in our area), so DS's list of must-dos had more favorite restaurants than favorite attractions on it! Dining is always a big part of our travels, coming from a small town with limited dining options, but it'll be even more of a focus than usual on this one.

If the choice is between Tiffins and Yak&Yeti no question I'd choose Tiffins. The portion sizes will be smaller than at Y&Y anyway so you'll actually be eating less food by doing 2 signatures. However, we didn't find the Tiffins portions to be small as some have reported; just smaller than Y&Y.

Yeah, the reviews I've seen don't seem to have especially small portions. At least not by signature standards. But it does seem pretty well suited to sharing, with the charcuterie, cheese, and bread service on the app menu and a couple of entrees that I'm sure more than one of us would want. So three meals between the five of us would likely work well there, where at Yak & Yeti we''d each order our own (mostly because the best apps there are "for two").

We are doing the DXDP too, and have one day with CG brunch, and Monsieur Paul dinner. it might be a lot of food, but I am quite looking forward to it!

I say go for it. You have the DxDDP, right? So what if it ends up being too much? You've got the credits, so go for it. Plus, 8+ hours in between is most likely fine assuming you don't snack all day. I've never done two signature restaurants in one day, as we usually do a one breakfast or lunch, and then a two at dinner - but now I'm wondering why we've never done it.

You've probably never done it for the same reason we haven't - limited opportunity. Until fairly recently, signature dining was basically just a dinner thing and Brown Derby was the only 2 credit restaurant serving lunch. The addition of Tiffins, brunch at the monorail signatures, and more upscale choices at Disney Springs make two signatures in one day a lot more possible than it was the last time I was in WDW.

If you are used to two TS meals a day anyway, then I think you should go for it!!!!

That sounds like an awesome day - especially if you've got a good bit of time in between. ITs not like they make you clean your plate, although you may want to!

We have a load of time in between luckily, and since we know it's a lot of food, I am promising to actually try frogs legs, cos, you know, it doesn't matter if I don't like them. (As someone who has spent 15yrs studying French, including time in university in France, I feel I *should*)

Hopefully you'll enjoy them. I do! Sounds like an awesome day. I really want to do the Cg brunch!
