originally I was doing one trip 12 days. I have now decided to split it into 2 trips. We are going to go from May 6th-14th and then again Dec 10th-16th.
We have gone in May before, but never Christmas season. I want to surprise my kids with the second trip.
It is hard to use all the credits. I did not want to do to many signature restaurants because my children are young. We spent the same amount of time at counter services that we did buffet table services last trip.
I know this is still alot, but I think it is a little better than before

For me and my family - that would be too much. There are several days where you have 3 sit down meals - that would easily take 4-5 hours just to eat - not to mention getting to the restaurants.

However, each family is different and maybe your family would be fine with lots of restaurant time. I just know that my family can handle maybe one sit down meal per day. And even with that, by the end of the week, we end up cancelling ADRs and getting carry out pizza or a hot dog from a cart! Your restaurant choices are great though! :)

PS How fun to be planning two different trips at the same time!
 
Is there some reason you would not use the regular DDP and not the DxDDP? Is that why you feel compelled to do so many sit down meals? I know you mentioned in your post that you ate just as many CS as TS last time, but did that not work out for your family?

I think you are going to spend the majority of your day eating by the looks of it. Especially on the days that you have three TS meals. If that works for you then I say go for it, but you mentioned you had young children and that may be alot of sitting for them - especially since your first two days are three TS meal days.
