What am I getting for 2 TS at CP?

[bizeemom4]

We have 'dinner' ressies for 3:30 at Tutto Italia for our Candlelight Processional show at 6:45. I noticed that it's a flat $59.99 charge for everyone 10 and over. I questioned the CM about this on the phone, asking if it's a fixed menu since everyone is being charged a flat rate. She said that it was the same menu. We're on the DDP so we're only paying the automatic 18% gratuity for our party of 6 but I wondered what we were getting for our 12 TS points and $65 gratuity. Has anyone been able to find out anything?

It's always been the same menu. However, what I haven't been able to get an answer to is whether or not DDP people will get both an apetizer and a dessert. On the DDP, you're only supposed to get dessert, no apetizer, but the package supposedly includes an appetizer.

Hmmm. I didn't know that an appetizer was part of the package. I would THINK that the DDP would cover the whole package since we're giving 2 TS points for it. Has anyone else confirmed this?

Yes, you will get to choose an appetizer, entree, dessert and non-alcoholic beverage for your 2 TS charge off your DDP. While the rumors were still floating around before Disney finally made their announcement for this year it looked like people paying OOP would get an appetizer included while people on DDP would not. When they changed it to being 2 TS (like a Signature restaurant) they included the appetizer. We're paying OOP and will be paying much more for our meal than if we went to the same restaurant without the CPP and paid the menu prices. But I really wanted to have guarenteed seating for the CP because we have never been there for it before.

That works for me. Thanks for the feedback!

So there is no difference in between those on regular DDP and DxDDP?

Thats great news for my family, but where did you find this info? I'm one of those obsessive folks that won't be comfortable until I see it in writing for myself LOL!
