Will I have too much food?

[mermaid&cinderella]

Okay.....this is the first time using the DDP and we have planned having breakfast (OOP) then use our CS for lunch and the TS for dinner and then lets not forget our snack credit. Will this be a lot of food? Our breakfasts are mainly all the character breakfasts.....CRT, Norway Princess, Hollywood Vine, Crystal Palace, etc. So will I gain 50lbs ina a week?

If you eat a character breakfast, then do a counter service lunch, and add a table service dinner...yep, you'll probably gain that 50 lbs!! That's a lot of food. When I've eaten on the DDP, I've used my snack credits for breakfast stuff at a bakery, then had an early cs lunch and then table service dinner. I think you do get a more than fair amount of food on the dining plan...no, you don't have to eat it all, but it's there.
If I'm eating a cs lunch and a ts dinner, I don't really need those snack credits for true snacks, so I get that breakfast stuff with 'em.

I agree! This will be too much food and you will be spending a lot of time sitting down and eating as opposed to riding rides, ect. I recommend if you are doing a character breakfast to skip lunch, grab a snack and then go to dinner. I am sending cereal (among other stuff) down and eating that most mornings and then having an early lunch and early dinner. Then use one or two snacks during the day and one after dinner.
Last time we had at least one snack left over every day!

I agree, you won't need all three big meals, also will it be really hot when you go? When we go in August we don't eat much as it's just too hot, I actually lost weight last trip! But this time we have free dining so I too will be coming home a bit heavier.

I am planning the same. I imagine the SCs will be used for extra water/ cokes. If on the first day, the CS is overwhelming, I can always switch to using 1 CS in the morn, as part of our breakfast, and 2 at lunch, with a kids meal maybe. We'll see how things go

We tend to either eat breakfast at our room, CS lunch, and TS dinner, OR TS character breakfast, snack around lunch, and CS dinner. It is usually mid-afternoon before we get hungry again after a character breakfast. You may want to consider doing one or the other most days. This year we are doing our breakfasts as brunches, and skipping lunch all together!

It is a LOT of food. However, you are under no obligation to order or eat everything to which you are entitled under the plan.

I agree it's too much food but I have to tell you.. when we went from 12-10 to 12-14 I ate like that and actually more because I was eating some of my husband's too (I was so bloated that clothes didn't fit.. and when I got home I hadn't gained!) The good news is walking around helps counterbalance it, but literally, I got sick. I actually was sick every night after the first night!
