[Glendamax]

Colette and my other December Pals,

I made dining reservations for the group, as follows:

12/11 1900 Park Fare 6:30 PM Reserved for 8 people
12/13 Le Cellier 4:50 PM Reserved for 12 people
12/14 Crystal Palace 10:25 AM Reserved for 8 people

-Colette will be making the reservations for Planet Hollywood, Prime Time Cafe, and Cape May Cafe, since I'm not going to those dinners.

--I have also reserved a lunch at Kona Cafe at noon on 12/11, for 6 people. If anyone would like to join that one, let me know.
Daisy

Thanks for the update! I'll be joining Daisy at LeCellier, and Colette at Prime Time. I've never been to either, so I'm really looking forward to it.

I wish that that I could join you at Kona Cafe, but I should be still flying in as you all are eating.

Can't wait to finally meet you all!

 

[Colette]

Daisy,
I didn't realize that they would give the DDE discount to everyone, if on the same bill-that's great. Does anyone in the group have it? They would probably jusy do the DDP meals seperately and the rest together. I agree with meeting a little early to see if we can all be together. Kona Cafe sounds nice-I love the Poly-hope to stay there someday...

Disneylandguy22,
If you end up working on 12/13, stop by and say hello.

I'm going to stop by the AAA Travel Agency after work today to see about possibly adding DDP to my reservation. But because I had purchased my hotel room separately (at a 20 percent AAA discount) and supposedly you have to get a WDW package to get the DDP, I have a feeling I am going to have to pay a lot more for the hotel room. So it might not be worth getting DDP after all, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Does anyone know if the DDP can be purchased separately, or do you have to buy the entire package (Hotel Room, Park Tickets, and DDP) together? Thanks!

Colette,

I don't know if anyone in the group will have the DDE discount, but in my past experience dining with groups at WDW, usually someone will have it. We hadn't planned that aspect in advance. We just asked at the start of the meal, if anyone has DDE.

The server will ask at the beginning of each meal, who is on DDP. If you are, your meal is automatically billed to your DDP. The other people can choose a combined check or separate checks. If someone has DDE, the combined check would allow everyone to get that discount. If no one has DDE, then I like separate checks, for convenience. But usually, it turns out someone has DDE.

I've never heard of someone being billed twice for the same tip as a result of being on DDP and dining with a group. I don't think this would happen, but if you are really concerned, you may ask a cast member this general question when you call WDW for your other dining reservations.

I'd also love to stay at the Poly someday, if I ever find a good discount there. Meanwhile, at least it's great to eat at Kona Cafe.

[Colette]

Rich,
I believe you have to book a "Magic your Way" plus dining, which is your room and park hoppers, so compare the difference and see if it's worth it for you. If you have to pay too much for your room, than it might not be-worth checking out where the places we're eating are fairly expensive. Colette

Colette and Friends
Great news! I just got back from the Travel Agency - It was actually $65 cheaper to get the entire package than it would have been to pay for the hotel, park hoppers, and DDP separately (if it were allowed).
So it looks like I WILL get the DDP (but I couldn't book it today, I have to call on Monday to speak with the travel agent who made the original reservation)
The only drawback is all those CALORIES! We'll have to do a LOT of power walking in the parks! LOL

[kat3668]

Awesome news Rich,
I too had to change my room only reservation to a package to take advantage of all these great resteraunts we will be trying! Only 6 months to go! Cant wait to meet you all!

 

[PennConn]

Hi Everyone

I'm thinking of making the following lunch reservations to use up my last two sit down dining options:

Sunday December 9 Lunch at Restaurant Akershus Norway in Epcot

Monday December 10 Lunch at Liberty Tree Tavern at Magic Kingdom

Would anyone be interested in joining me? Let me know!

Hi! We got home from our "family" trip - 11 days at WDW - late Tuesday night! I think I could have stayed 11 more!! SSR and AKL were GREAT!!

I'm sure our little *Late Sept/Early Oct* group will grow some as we get closer to trip time!

Looking forward to meeting you too!

 

[Colette]

Rich,
Sounds like you went with the dining plan-great. I won't be there in time for your other lunch choices-hope someone will want to join you. This is going to be a fun "dining" trip.....I better stick to my diet until then. Colette

 

[ANTSS2001]

Colette and my other December Pals,

I made dining reservations for the group, as follows:

12/11 1900 Park Fare 6:30 PM Reserved for 8 people
12/13 Le Cellier 4:50 PM Reserved for 12 people
12/14 Crystal Palace 10:25 AM Reserved for 8 people

Notes:

--Wolfgang Puck Cafe reservations cannot be made until 180 days from the actual day of dining (rather than 180 days from trip start date), because they are not owned by Disney. I have to call back on June 17 to make that reservation for 12/14 dinner. I plan to book for 7 people, as we already have five signed up here, and they have tables for 7.

--We have saved some extra slots at each meal. If we don't fill these slots, then I will call back at some point before the trip and adjust the number down.

--ANTSS2001, would you like us to save you a spot in each of the dining reservations? If it turns out later that you can't go, we could give the spot to someone else, but since you started this thread, I really hope you can be with us!

--For groups of 8 or more, an 18% gratuity (tip) is automatically added to the bill.

--I know we talked about starting the dinners somewhere between 6:00 and 6:30, but to get a group of eight or more into Le Cellier, we had to either go earlier or later, and if we went later, we woudn't have been out in time for the last Candlelight Processional show. By going early, we have time for everything.

--The largest tables at Le Cellier are for four people. We have reserved three tables of four. They will try to put these tables together, but they never promise that in advance, so we may end up in three groups of four, or a group of eight and a group of four. They have noted that it's a birthday. By the way, they said that for $12.50 you can buy a birthday cake at the restaurant podium, but it won't have the person's name on it. (I imagine one could always bring a tube of decorator icing to write the name oneself, though). They also offered a phone number to buy a birthday cake with the name on it, but they didn't know the cost for that.

--Colette will be making the reservations for Planet Hollywood, Prime Time Cafe, and Cape May Cafe, since I'm not going to those dinners.

--I have also reserved a lunch at Kona Cafe at noon on 12/11, for 6 people. If anyone would like to join that one, let me know.

--I've also booked the other restaurants I mentioned in my schedule in a recent post, so if anyone would like to join any of the other meals, let me know that also!

Daisy

yes please... I am really hoping they will let me... like this June vaca... it was a last minute thing that they let me go... I am leaning more to be able to go since nobody here go on vaca at that time and everyone wants overtime for xmas money.

PennConn,

My dining reservations (already made) include:

12/8 lunch at Garden Grill, 12:10 PM
12/9 lunch at Liberty Tree Tavern, 11:40 AM
12/10 lunch at Sci Fi Dine In, 1:30 PM

I currently still have room in all these reservations, so if you'd like to meet for any of them, please let me know.

[DaisyDuck001]

The only drawback is all those CALORIES! We'll have to do a LOT of power walking in the parks! LOL
Rich

I'm aware of this consideration. I'm planning to do some jogging on some mornings before going to the parks. Maybe we could set up a jogging mini-meet!

 

[Colette]

Daisy,
Jogging BEFORE the parks-are you trying to kill me? You must be a lot younger than me-I think the many miles of walking will be fine-I had surgery on my left foot some years back(so that I could go to Disney and not have trouble walking) and the Dr. did some nerve damage while in there, so I do get some swelling that I have to be careful of, but I will be working out regularly, to keep in shape for this marathon.....

Rich,
Now that you have gotten the package, you'll have the $15 certificate for Planet Hollywood, that Kat and I have for 12/10, so that saves one of your dinner credits for another night(or day).

This is shaping up to be an awesome trip!

Have a nice day, all-I'm off to do a 24 hour shift-rainy day-might as well be working. Colette

 

[Phantom82]

I will be staying at Wilderness Lodge, Platinum Plan. Everything is already booked, my planner knows what I like. Trying to get room at the Poly as I prefer Poly over any resort in all of Disney including Paris, Cali, or Japan.

I am solo, but am taking mom. She needs the relaxation. But won't be attached to her hip as this is a present for her. I'm in from the Middle East/Africa dates are solid can't change. Going back to on 18th. Just a quick R&R.

Would prefer private messages or emails or instant messanger, not used to the hole forum thingy.
