UPDATE - ALL restaurants from 2008 back on for the 2009 DDP!

[emlutz23]

suscribing so I can hear more details when they come out!

 

[Tissa]

I arrive at CSR on the 7th. It sure would be nice to know if I can use the DDP there. I'll be patient, what else can I do?

 

[Cookie Princess]

They certainly are waiting until the last minute!

 

[mickeymotto]

I just had to get that out!!!!! Hurry up already!

 

[cndnchicky]

Ummm is it just me or does that one link with the participating restaurants say that Coral Reef is now worth 2 credits!!!! Anyone know anything about this?? I love the restaurant but I'm not sure if i want to cough up 2 credits for it

 

[TDC Nala]

You are probably reading old information. Coral Reef used to be 2 credits back when the plan first started but was changed to 1 credit. It's still 1 credit for 2009.

 

[cndnchicky]

Oh ok phewwwww I just clicked on a link on page 6 and thats where I found that information. Thanks for the speedy response!!!

 

[TDC Nala]

That link on page 5 is definitely old information. It still lists Mitsukoshi Teppanyaki (now Teppan Edo) and Alfredo's (now Tutto Italia), the Concourse Steakhouse (closed last year) and does not mention Raglan Road or Yak & Yeti. They've got Tusker House as a CS and Restaurantosaurus is still listed as a TS breakfast.

There's also a few counter services on there (Chakarandi Chicken Shop, for example) that dont' exist any more.

I called to change some ADRs today and when I asked if the CM knew anything about the 2009 list - she said they hadn't been told anything about it yet. Grrrr. I hope they announce it this week!

Yes, it makes it very difficult to plan a trip when you don't have and can't get all the info.

IT is a very short girls only trip that we have planed but that being said it is adults only and enjoy sitting down and having a nice meal KWIM.... We were going to go to Tutto the last day for a late lunch before I head to the airport. (I would never pay for it so expensive) but now I am second guessing that I sould try for somewhere that IS already listed so we do not get stuck with credits. (I arrive at night my first night so I have an "extra" credit as it is...KWIM not really extra but I will not use any credits my arrive day)

I'm trying to stay positive and hope that, as in previous years, the restaurants will sign back up for the plan. It's just a little worrisome that the first two places I have ADRs for, on January 10 and 11, are still "undecided"! The lunchtime ADR for Tokyo Dining on the 10th isn't such a concern, but the post-marathon dinner on the 11th at Raglan Road is a must!

Is there some benefit to the rests. for waiting so long to commit? Are they trying to squeez the mouse for an extra nickel?

I would say a few are. I know when I ate at Yak & Yeti on the DxDP that they only got $24.99 and my meal cost about 45 with appi, entree, and dessert. I would believe places are trying to get a little more money. Some places like Teppan Edo I think just doesn't deal with it until they have to. (They are always one of the last ones to sign on)

 

[TDC Nala]

The Japanese restaurants changed management in 2007. Since then, they've taken longer to sign on.

This is the first year I have seen all the non-Disney restaurants take this long to sign on. Either they're all holding out, or Disney is waiting to release a final list until all of them have signed.

 

[Dominus]

Maybe they've unionized and are holding out in solidarity. Maybe I should post that on the rumor page. Does it count as a rumour if you just started it?

Someone has to start it for it to become a rumor, right???
