What would you change?

[emmaleigh47]

DH and I are going back for 15 days in October!

Last year we went with the DxDDP and although the boards tried to warn me it was too much food - I didnt listen, and well yes it was WAY too much food. I had 3 meals every single day except for 2 booked while we were there and it was crazy!

This time I think I have planned better - I have alot of variety except for Ohana and LTT (DH's request), but as usual I am looking for the great advice of the DisBoards!

What a great planner you are! That's still a lot of sit-down dining, in my opinion, but you know what works best for your family. I might switch some of the TS lunches with CS at the park you are visiting that day, and maybe throw in some CS for breakfast at the hotel where you are staying. And, don't forget that a great lunch on the fly are those awesome smoked turkey legs that you can get at the carts in the parks. The day with the ???? at Epcot for lunch, I'd suggest CS Tangierine Cafe in Morocco. You can sit under the umbrella tables and watch the band Mo'Rockin play if you time it right. We love to watch the "belly" dancer... Have a wonderful time!

You may have to move Le Cellier to later in your trip since that one is hard to get. We could only get it for dinner the last two days of our 8 day trip.

I would say since you are at Epcot that you go to Biergarten. Good food and Entertainment. My family loves it.

Wow, first of all, I am sooo jealous, 15 days of pigging out at Disney, thats a dream come true!

I would ditch 1900 PF dinner, while the characters were a blast the food was horrible.

And I would change LTT dinner because I dont like the menu.

A couple things I noted in your plans...

You said the Deluxe Dining plan was too much food for you guys...

But, with all these table service choices, you will have to do the deluxe plan again, as you are only allowed 1 TS credit each day on regular plan.

Also. You will need to have park hopper on your tickets as you have a few days you are in one park and then eating in another.

We have eaten at many of your choices. They are wonderful choices!!

Yes, please say somehappy Disney prayers for me. I figure if I cant get Le Cellier, I can just switch it with Tutto Italia, or Chef de France on another night.

But I swear if I dont get it this time -- I am swearing off this restaurant! :>)

Was 1900 PF bad food? Honestly I think it was YOUR pictures that convinced me to go it. I found my elusive and sought after chocolate mousse tarts in the corner of your picture. They used to have them at H&V which was the only reason I put up with that place; last year they were gone. Tusker House had them in strawberry -- just not the same. Mmmmmm chocolate mousse tarts, I am getting excited just thinking about it.

And both LTT meals are lunch --- we have never tried dinner, but i am IN LOVE with the William Penn Pasta and the OOey Gooey Tofee Cake... ok seriously getting excited now!

Can you tell me about the food there. The menu doesnt look too exciting, but people seem to like it? What kind of food do they have -- what kind of dessert?

What kind of park tickets do you have for Universal? I think most expire after 6 days after first use. You have 7 days after 1 st use.

OMG i LOVE you! In all of my planning I totally forgot that -- I went back and changed the plans, but lord I owe you much!

Still however looking for more suggestions for the big ?????

So glad I caught that! I'm quite sleep deprived with all the waking up (2:40am-my time) to book ADR's online each day for the past 5 days.

My neighbour's are going to do Universal also so I keep checking their plans to make sure they don't go over the dates that their tickets will expire also.

I better get to bed.

Why can't you do the 90 + 10 ?? I would call and make your ADR if you cant do it online
