“I can’t believe we ate THIS much food” – Food Trip Report Oct 2015 Univ/Disney inc DDP - COMPLETE

Welcome to my 2015 food report. Looking back I cannot believe we ate this much food!

To put you in the picture, we spent 16 nights in Florida this October with the 1st 2 nights at the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal and then 14 nights at The Wilderness Lodge at Disney with the free dining plan.
My DW is the photographer and always remembers to take the photos (and there were a lot of them) before we start, so credit to her, as I just like eating it! Also with us was our 10 year old DS who likes his food and given he is classed as an adult on the DDP (which is unbelievable) he did indulge!

I was somewhat sceptical of the DDP beforehand and was also concerned about the volume of food and potential weight gain, flatulence etc….. I was pleasantly surprised however by the variety of food and also the quality. We also found that there was flexibility with the new plan, to swap desserts etc which I will detail in the report.

The best part was visiting lots of different restaurants and resorts on property which in a lot of cases were a first for us. We have previously always stayed off site and enjoyed the different restaurants on offer but I would say we have now been converted, if the free DDP is on offer!
Anyway on with the grub…..
