Not to be outdone by Mags (gala) and MattF coming up on the ropes :D , here are my ADR probables for next years free DDP. The final order has to be decided but likely to relate to staying at Poly the first week and YC the second. My party are all good eaters and like fine dining and/or 'stuff your face' type meals :pgig:

So we are going to eat at (all being well):

Ohanas'
Californian Grill
Coral Reef
Narcoossees
Wolfgang Puck Cafe (before Cirque - not showing as on DDP for 2008 yet but hoping)
Hollywood and Vine (for Fantasmic package)
Yachtsman Steakhouse
Le Cellier

Crystal Palace - breakfast
Cape May - breakfast

So that's 3 x 2 TS meals and 7 x 1 TS meals, leaving me one to sort out. This is likely to be a walk up to ESPN whilst staying at YC (cannot ADR it anyway)
OR, I may look at the new AK restaurant for lunch if it gets good reviews and is on the DDP.

I am aware that this will give us 6 evenings with no TS meal, but we are hoping to do Busch and DC in this time and one or both fireworks cruises, also a Dine with Shamu so don't want to be tied to having to eat in WDW every night anyway. I'm sure we can fit the CS meals around these 'gaps' :thumbs-up

Any comments?

Looks great Sue. Ours is still very much a work in progress and I will not be publishing until I have done some more tweaking. If I publish and then tweak I know a certain person (Vron!) will take great pleasure in winding me up (only fair after what i did to her!) We're looking at eating at 6 of those and only having 1 x 2TS (CRT) as our 2 will not appreciate fine dining rather characters!

Just a suggestion for Downtown Disney is Raglan Road.

It is getting good reviews and although we did not eat there we had a few drinks a couple of nights and the food looked excellent.

We have five on our list Sue the same :d: They all look good choices to me.

I think we have about 18 on our list for 14 nights free DDP :erm: I think we will be giving CRT and Cape May a miss this year.

Matt we paid OOP for CRT this year as I didn't think it worth using our TS credits for it. When I made the ADR I said I was on the DDP so they just took CC details for a no show. I paid on the day no problem.

I had thought of Raglan Road but someone I know ate there and said that she could not be dragged back for a free meal :omg:
The menu at Wolfgang Puck is SO ME as well :tounge:

Hey Mags, my name is not Vron :d:
Last DDP the only change we made was when we got there and hated the Yacht Club Galley to the extent that they did not take the DDP credits off, so we dropped Cape May and went back to the Yachtsmans Steakhouse again as it was so fab the first time :D

Some great choices there Sue. We have 6 of those on our list for our hols next week.

I loved planning the restaurants, it kept me out of trouble anyway! ;)

A great looking list! We had the same thinking with the 2 credit meals, it frees us up for some offsite meals (like Cheesecake Factory) and means we're not tied to being at Disney all the time. Also we preferred the menus anyway, seem to have better veggie options for bf. It's soo hard to choose with ones though, i'd like to try Narcoossee's next time amongst others :)

Hey you, thought you were my mate :p:

The ONLY change will be if WPC does not show up on the DDP and then the 1 TS meal I haven't already planned will become a x 2 TS meal and I have somewhere in mind for that ;) :tounge:

It's still going to be tricky booking the ADR's as park hours will not be out and I won't know when the Wishes cruises are on (not on every night in September it seems :cry: ) - so I'm going to have to book and then rejig if I can get a Wishes cruise :confused2

Great choices Sue, only one I wouldn't do is H&V, we've done it twice and it was very average.

Yeah I know, done it twice myself, first time really enjoyed it, second time it was pants. But I am not wasting 2 x TS credits on Brown Derby (and I actually don't like the look of the menu there :erm: ) and Mama Melrose gets such bad reviews!!!
On balance, think that my party will find SOMETHING they like at H&V.
