Crystal Palace:COST: $43.66/Adults, $21.29 Children ages 3-9 includes tax NOT gratuity

Chef Mickeys: Breakfast $35.14 for Adults, $19.16 for Children 3-9 includes tax NOT gratuity
Dinner BUFFET PRICE : $40.46 FOR ADULTS $20.23 FOR CHILDREN 3-9 includes tax NOT gratuity



IMO, you will come out better paying for meals that are NOT a buffet.

What a great line-up! We just got back and ate at Tutto (one of our favorites now for sure!). Tutto was very pricey so I would not pay that OOP. Make certain that you get the coupon from Restaurant.com for Il Mulino and please let me know what you think of it when you get back. Le Cellier is 2 points at night - one person suggested to me to pay one meal on the dining plan and one OOP for California Grille (which is also two credits) and I thought that this was a brilliant plan. We didn't end up going to CA Grille for timing issues but that was what we were going to do which would have given us an additional TS meal. Maybe you could do that and then just pay one OOP. My thoughts now would be to pay the breakfasts OOP. Have a blast!!!

Honestly, I would pay for Via Napoli OOP cause you can get the meter pizza and share that. Its $41 for a meter pizza which feeds 5 apparently. Although Ohana breakfast is $20.99, kids are $11.99. Thats not bad either.

If you can change your Le Cellier to lunch, that would take care of 1 TS credit.

Then it would be a toss up for Ohana breakfast and Via Napoli.

I'm not sure one 1/2 meter pizza at Via Napoli would feed 5 adults, but if you all do the salad for $5 each and an app or two, you would still come out at around $100-$125. Or just do two 1/2 meters and that's $82 then share apps and/or desserts.

Do not pay for MM out of pocket. The fantasmic package entitles you to an appetizer, which you will not get on DDP. Absolutely use the DDP on that one.

I agree with PP about paying for breakfasts. They are usually cheaper.

If these are the prices currently on AllEars, these are peak season prices so they'll be a few dollars cheaper when OP goes.

I'd go with ohana and via napoli

Are the Ohana prices current? We will be there next
Week and I was trying to figure out a ts ADR to toss, but of those are the prices I'll just pay Ohana breakfast oop and keep all my ADR.

The wdw site just has the $15-35 listing which is annoying, I'd like to know how much!

The only time that we ate at a signature restaurant when we were on the DDP, we paid OOP for that meal. I just don't think that it's a good use of 2 TS credits. So, I would pay OOP for Le Cellier.

 

[minnie mum]

Have to agree with Winterman. Pay OOP for le Cellier and save the 2 TS credits. Then you can enjoy all your other choices on the DDP, and perhaps find a coupon for Il Mulino.
