Ok, so our orginal holiday plans have all gone up in smoke after some of our party dropped out last minute!
We were orginally doing 4 nights universal staying on I drive then 10nights at AKL.
Due to the dynamics of the group changng we are now doing JUST disney,
so we have 4 nights at Bay lake tower and then the 10 at AKL.
SO....
we wouldn't have done the deluxe dining for 10 nghts as way too expensive, BUT we are now toying with the idea of booking it for the 4 nights stay. BUT we would like some advice on if you think it would be a good option for us.
Our group is now me, DH, DD who will be 3 1/2 months, my mum and our nephew who is 4years old. its a bit of a mish-mash.
So for the 4 year old character breakfasts would be great, but DH doesn't like american breakfast food (we are coffee and porridge boring englsh people!) WE really like nice restaurants, and its hard to take a baby to anywhere nice in the UK but as we are in disney we are thinking it may be an opportunity to eat at VERY nice places which are still kid friendly for the baby and the 4 year old. so we would be using it fo good kd places in the day then prob the sgnatures at night.
something like....
day 1
arrvival day we get in late-
Cali Grill at our hotel
day 2
Breakfast at tusker house
flyinh fish cafe / yachtsmanat boardwalk
day 3
breakfast at the character one in DHS
Artist point dinnner
day 4
dinner at Jiko
day 5 (move to AKL but credits still valid)
Breakfast at chef mickeys (IF we can get in) if not the one in MK
Ohanas dinner (already booked so unlkely we can move ths
that would use all of our credits. We don't like tonnes of food so we wouldn't want a restaurant lunch and dinner, so we would use it for signatures.
The only prob with this is that it means all the character meals and all the signature places are at the start of the holiday, its a bit uneven. BUT if we didn't get the plan we would only do 1 signature and 2 character buffets.
we really can't decide.
The regular dning plan doesn't appeal as we would like to go to the sgnatures and without 3 courses it doesn't seem economcally viable on the regular plan. Otherwise we would eat at cheaper restaurants and take away places.
just wondering what made other people decde to do it or not, what you would advise etc! particually given the makeup of our party!
