Which place to pay OOP

[hmontgomry]

Okay, I booked too many and I don't really want to cancel any of them. Which would be cheapest to pay ourselves2 adults and 8yo)-twins may just share off plate or eat buffet.

Chef de France Dinner
Whispering Canyon (thinking this one)
Crystal Palace lunch
Chef Mickey's breakfast
Hollywood & VIne 11:10(not sure if Bk)
Biergarten
O'Hana's 11:20 (again not sure if BK)
Coral Reef lunch

Also, we are going during Thanksgiving and they say the character meals are more during that week?? Does anyone know the price??

Have you checked the menus? I have some of the same ressies you do so I know Chefs de France and Coral Reef are expensive - we also have Chefs at dinner and CR for lunch . I went to allears.net and looked at the menus, figured out what I would eat and from that I picked which ones to pay OOP.

 

[hmontgomry]

Yeah, I tried but just wondering what the Character dining prices will be during THanksgiving as they say they are higher??? I think even if I get the skillet at WCC (so I can share with the twins) that it will be cheaper than even the character breakfast.

Gosh I hate math . But if you are sharing I bet that would be cheaper. And I could have sworn I saw the holiday prices somewhere - let me see if I can find the percentage it goes up and I will post back.

Whispering Canyon is likely the cheapest.

Keep in mind you might choose to pay OOP for the adults at one meal and the kids at another. A kids meal is about $8 off the menu, do always pay for one of those OOP. The DP credit is always the best child value at an AYCE or buffet. There can be no sharing at buffets, everyone pays. I can't imagine 8yo twins sharing with each other at any of the meals you've selected.

SOrry...I have an 8 year old AND 2 year old twins I wasn't planning on him sharing I didn't think about splitting it-that makes sense....I was thinking it was the entire dinner OOP or using the DDP all of the meal. Good idea!

We paid OOP for our 6yo at Narcoossee's: he just wanted pasta $6!!!

We paid OOP for the adults at Chef Mickey's breakfast, about $40.
