What to do with 2 table service credits?

[bobbyshawatl]

Looking for a bit of advice... I have a trip coming up in less than 10 days (yay!!). I was able to extend my package for one more night, giving me an extra table service credit. I had been holding one unreserved to kind of "play it by ear" for at least one day. I have nothing reserved for Monday, 9/26 or Thursday, 9/29. So far we have reservations at Tutto Italia, Kona Cafe, Whispering Canyon Cafe and Boma.

What would ya'll do with those final 2? Do a signature meal (never ate at any of them) or do the HDDR (it's been many, many years since I've been) or do 2 more table service meals (maybe squeeze in a sit down breakfast somewhere).

I know dining is SO subjective, but just curious what others would think. I read the thread from today about Signature suggestions, and every site was mentioned as a favorite by at least one person.

I personally would do a signature. I love eating at the signatures because I am what most people would consider a 'foodie'. The other reason is because I don't eat like that when I'm at home, so it' such a great treat while I'm on vacation.

My favorite signatures on the DDP are Citricos, Jiko, and Flying Fish.

If you want to go the 1 TS route and do two meals that you can probably do walk ups at, I'd suggest Sanaa and Turf Club.

I personally don't find there to be much value at dining at a Signature while on the basic DDP. The value of 2 TS credits is higher than what would be included on the plan, then factor in the additional costs of apps or wine/cocktails. Just doesn't make sence to me to still need to pay $15-$20 additional for adults (less for kids) on top of using 2 TS per person.

I would consider using the credits on HDDR, but whatever you do decide you better decide quick. Your running out of time. With 10 days before your trip I don't know if you can expect to get yourself a character breakfast, if that's what you were looking for (your better off paying for non-buffet TS breakfasts OOP).

If you have 2 credits left to spend, try a signature restaurant. Just for the view alone, Cali grill is worth it. Plus the food is great.

Hoop Dee Doo Revue ALLL THE WAYYY!!!!
if you have not been in many years it will not only be a good show with good food and good fun, but it will be a good dose of nostalgia!!!
i recommend it
another upside vs. a deluxe is the gratuity is included so no add'l OOP expense!
of course, the same could be said for the luau, which is also a good show w/good food, but not nearly the same level of FUN!

 

[Hopefully]

What ever you can get, at this point. I suspect your choices are limited.
If it is available, I would also do the HDDR. We love it and it is great fun.
Have a Great Trip

Thanks y'all! I've checked. Many of the signatures at the resorts have tables for 2, but not the ones in the parks, like Le Celier. HDDR has a 5:00pm opening on Monday. That's *probably* where I'm leaning right now...

Ok, booked the HDDR for their 9:30pm show on Thursday. The 5:00pm Monday show that was there last night was gone this afternoon. 9:30pm is WAY late for us to be eating, but that gives us more park time than the 5:00pm show anyways.

My 2nd choice out of what was still available way Artist's Point. the Cali Grill option at the Contemporary that several of you mentioned was booked up both days.

3 more days of work before we leave!!!
