Those used to free dining, how many adrs are you doing next time?

[IBEX23]

I’m staying off site this time as well so it will be only 2-3 I think. So far planning California Grill, Space 220 and one other if I can get the reservations

[Mrs Red C]

We've enjoyed the DDP in the past, always liked the TS meals except for the hefty tips. This next trip, we'll probably only book 3 or 4, some old favourites plus 1 or 2 new ones. Will be waiting to see if anything changes before next summer before we decide. Certainly miss the 180 days out though!

TBH 1 - Chef Art's, apart from that Polite Pig & apart from CS whilst in the parks that's really going to be it.

I love Homecomin, that's my usual 1 ADR but it got bumped for Plaza Restaurant this time. But I'd been holding a bit of dining budget back in case I wanted a Candlelight Processional dining package but don't like the options this year. So I might have to go visit Chef Art again. Those biscuits are calling me.

We might do Homecomin’ as we’ve not managed it the last couple of trips.

[IBEX23]

Oooh I forgot Homecomin’ as it got bumped from my last trip… I wonder if they still do brunch!

[ScoopsAhoy]

3 or 4 I think.

I’ve just actually booked most of mine. No doubt like usual we will end up cancelling a lot off as plans will change. We booked Boathouse on Opentable (will almost certainly do that), Homecomin, Wine Bar George (Unlikely), Nine Dragons (almost certainly). When I can book for my second part of the stay in a few days I may book Steakhouse 71, but it’s proving a hard sell to Mrs YT who wasn’t keen on Wave. We will eat Quickserve and off site other nights.
We are then off to Miami Beach Xmas Eve and I intend booking Burger and Pizza at Fonteinblue when we arrive so we can walk to it, and Yardbird is booked for Xmas day.

We have always enjoyed the standard dining plan (free) and I usually hit it HARD. I love the planning, trying new TS restaurants and maxing out the value.

In December though we are just doing table service perhaps every other day. I'm actually looking forward to more flexibility this trip and not feeling compelled to eat or be at a certain park or resort for X time. I think it will have its upside, and to be honest I look forward to not feeling ridiculously stuffed the whole trip!

This November will be the first non-Dining plan visit for 10 years and first non-DDP visit for 7. We are also on site at Universal for 1 night which always allowed us to go to at least one signature using the spare credit. Our first week is the last week of Food & Wine so the initial plan was to go to Epcot 4 times in that first week to take full advantage of the booths and just do 2 TS restaurants the 2nd week.

That plan lasted all of about a week. Now we are doing 6 ADRs!

50s Primetime dinner
Boma dinner
Homecomin dinner
Liberty Tree Tavern (on actual Thanksgiving) dinner
Steakhouse 71 lunch
Wine Bar George lunch

Clearly old habits die hard!

We’re going again in May, I dread to think what we’ll be like with $850 dining credit!
