yay for deluxe!!! If I did that, I'd be doubling up and eating at a ton of Sig restaurants just because I'd feel like all I was doing was spending time eating every day but that's great for you!
 
That sounds a fabulous idea! I love food and having the time to just slow down and enjoy sounds wonderful! I am looking forward to see what your new ADRs end up being!
 
Oh YAYY!! You are REQUIRED to take pictures of your food and record the details! Weird and I are looking at the DDP for sure, and for a brief second, I looked at Deluxe. I think it'd be absolutely yummy to have appetizers (wish it was appetizer instead of dessert on DDP!). However, with my health, it might not be smart to have a lot planned for the first time we're on DDP. Sometimes I can't eat at all. And if there's an appetizer we wanna try, we'll just have to pay OOP.

AHHHHHHHHHHH, December can't come fast enough! I'm so excited for you!
 
Yay I'm so happy for you, deluxe dining is going to be soooooo great!!I can't wait to see how you like it, I'd love to try it one day! Can't wait to hear about the rest of your ADR's!! :)

That's actually exactly what my best friend and I are doing on our trip next year! We're hitting up Hoop Dee Doo Revue, Le Cellier (yes, for two credits because we had one to spare), Yachtsman Steakhouse, CRT twice, California Grill, and Narcoossee's. We may also tack on a couple others if we decide we want to be more adventurous, but her husband is EXTREMELY picky, so we may stick with what we have.

I told you this before via text but YAY!!!!! That is awesome!!!!!

Thank you! I'm really excited! :)

That was originally why we were avoiding the DxDP, but we talked about it and decided it would be a lot of fun this trip to try a lot of new restaurants! :goodvibes

Thank you so much! :hug: I think having that "break time" is really going to help us deal with the crowds. I will be posting ADRs very soon! :)

Don't worry, I will most definitely take tons of food pics! :thumbsup2 I'm debating doing an entire food review thread when I get back along with my TR, but I might just include it in with the TR!

I think it's a good idea to start out with the regular DDP when you try it for the first time. I'm still a little nervous about the amount of food we will be getting with the DxDP but I'm excited to try it! :goodvibes

Yay I'm so happy for you, deluxe dining is going to be soooooo great!!I can't wait to see how you like it, I'd love to try it one day! Can't wait to hear about the rest of your ADR's!! :)

Thank you so much! :hug: I will give you my full review of it as soon as I get back! ADRs are coming very soon! :)

Congrats! I'm looking forward to seeing the new ADR's! :)

Thank you! :goodvibes I will post them ASAP!! :)

Yum, those sound awesome! I am excited about our new ADRs. We are trying so many new things this year! It's going to be really fun! :goodvibes

Sounds great!:thumbsup2 Lots of food and fun! Can't wait to hear all about your choices.popcorn::

Thank you!! :hug: I can't wait to eat all that delicious WDW food! :cool1: I will post my ADRs soon! :)
 


UPGRADE OUR DINING PLAN!!

:jumping1:

That's right, folks. We are now booked on the DELUXE Disney Dining Plan! Call us crazy (I always do! :laughing:) but we really wanted to be able to eat at a lot of TS restaurants this trip that we would have missed out on with the regular DDP. Also, we will be eating at our first signature restaurant now! :cloud9:
!

That is great! We loved the DxDDP last year and we are doing it again this year. I really like sitting down and having a nice meal. Besides, we don't eat at places like that in real life, so it really makes vacation special. Can't wait to hear about all your other ADRs!

Thank you! :hug: Yay! I'm glad to hear some good reports about the DxDP! I'm really excited about trying it but I was a little nervous at first. I agree with you-eating at these nice places really does make the trip more magical! ADRs are on their way! :)
 
Happy Friday, everyone! :) I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend planned! I am looking forward to being lazy and planning for Disney! I think that now is a good time to post our BRAND NEW ADRs for our recently booked DxDP experience! :jumping1: (I am really loving these new green jumpy smileys. They represent my joy perfectly!)

If you are a little confused by the random assortment of days/places that we chose, fear not! I will be posting a detailed schedule in the next week or so. Then everything will make sense! (I hope...:rolleyes1)

See you tomorrow for your favorite game and mine- THE WAITING GAME! :goodvibes



 
great list and it looks like you were able to spread them out so you are not eating, stuffed, eating, stuffed, and eating again!! We loved AP in Dec..the Salmon is wonderful, best we have ever had (if you like seafood that is!)
 
Those look awesome! If I were you, for your CRT reservation, I'd ask for a window table so you can possibly see the fireworks :)
 
Ok, I just read your whole PTR thus far.....and I loved the whole thing!!!! I'm hoping to get in on the game tomorrow! I will have to let you know what we thought of deluxe when we get home. I think it will work out really well though. Can't wait to read more!
 
Yum! That looks like a relaxing and delicious trip to me! NYE at Ohana! Excellent!!
 
Yay, I love all of your new ADR's! :goodvibes I'm so happy you're going to go to Le Cellier, you are going to love it soooooo much!

I would love to do CRT someday...not so much because of the food, just to be inside the castle! :lovestruc It looks like it is so beautiful in there, from the pictures I've seen!

Artist Point is supposed to be really good! And by going there you get to visit my favorite resort, WL! Make sure you get there a little early so you can check out the lobby and all the Christmas decorations, it's amazing! :dance3:
 
OH . MAN .

I'm looking forward to seeing all the yummy pics from these restaurants! I'll be paying more attention to it all (as in, not just drooling over it) because the plan is for DDP for our honeymoon! Ooo, it's going to be hard narrowing down our restaurant choices!

Hehe, your December trip is going to be part of my research. If you may be too full to eat something, you gotta think, "It's for the DIS community!"
 
The ADR's look great! :) I don't think I've been to a single one on your list, though some are on our list of places we'd like to try someday. It will be fun to see what you think of all of them!
 
Great list. I have eaten at CRT and Crystal Palace. For my upcoming trip I have ADRs for Liberty Tree, Boma, and tuxker house

Thank you! :) I was trying to spread out the ADRs while making sure we were still getting our money's worth for the DxDP. I can't wait to try AP! :goodvibes

Those look awesome! If I were you, for your CRT reservation, I'd ask for a window table so you can possibly see the fireworks :)

Thank you! And thanks for the advice! :hug: I will definitely ask. That would be such a magical way to end our vacation!

:welcome: Thank you for joining in! I will be posting The Waiting Game very soon! I can't wait to hear what you think of the DxDP!

Yum! That looks like a relaxing and delicious trip to me! NYE at Ohana! Excellent!!

Thank you! :) I'm really excited about NYE at Ohana!

Thank you! :hug: I am glad that we are going to get to try Chefs and Le Cellier!

Heather recommended CRT to me. I had never even really thought about it! But it is such a great deal for the DxDP. I am really excited to try it! Plus, I've never met Cinderella! :goodvibes

YES, we are really excited about seeing WL when we go to AP. That's also the night of our carriage ride, so it should be a very romantic evening! :lovestruc

OH . MAN .

I'm looking forward to seeing all the yummy pics from these restaurants! I'll be paying more attention to it all (as in, not just drooling over it) because the plan is for DDP for our honeymoon! Ooo, it's going to be hard narrowing down our restaurant choices!

Yes, there will be tons of food pics! I hope that my reviews will help you make some decisions for your Disneymoon!

Haha, maybe if I tell myself the food is in the name of research I won't feel so guilty about eating a million calories a day! :rotfl:

The ADR's look great! :) I don't think I've been to a single one on your list, though some are on our list of places we'd like to try someday. It will be fun to see what you think of all of them!

Thank you! :) I can't wait to share my reviews with all of you!

Great list. I have eaten at CRT and Crystal Palace. For my upcoming trip I have ADRs for Liberty Tree, Boma, and tuxker house

Thank you! :) I'm really excited to try so many new places. We have done Crystal Palace for dinner but never breakfast. The only other one we have done from what you listed is Tusker House, and it was yummy!
