No DDP - what would you pay for out of pocket?

[SquishTheWhale]

This is a hard one as the Disney restaurants are so over priced and the food is better offsite.

However I would pay for the places where you could choose to have a cheaper meal- so for instance somewhere you can select a $25 entrée only, not be forced to pay a high fixed fee like at O'hana.

So out of the places we ate at, I would pay for Homecomin and Yak and Yeti.

We liked Boma, Teppan Edo and Ohana but the fixed cost is too high for me. And although we enjoyed our Cali Grill dinner, no way would I pay those prices out of pocket.

On our last-minute week away at Feb half-term, Cali Grill was the only Disney meal we had!

We didn't have a booking (as we didn't have flights until just before we went) so we walked up and ate in the bar area, stretched the meal out and watched the fireworks.

It was as good as ever and worth every penny to us.

(We've often paid cash for Boma and Teppan Edo too)

It probably depends on how much you pay to eat out normally I guess. When we eat out we usually don't spend over £50 as a couple and often a lot less. We just aren't fancy restaurant kind of people.

While I enjoyed my meal at CG, I wouldn't say it was worth $220 (£172! ) including tip for the two of us! Maybe I'm just cheap lol. The service wasn't exactly great either, we waited 40 minutes for drinks and only got them after asking another waiter as ours had disappeared. I booked for 8pm and thought we'd have time to eat our mains before watching the fireworks- but they only came out at 8.50 so we had to choose between eating as fast as possible, leaving them to get cold or missing the fireworks. Perhaps my mistake and I should have allowed longer than an hour to receive and eat mains.

Oh No! That was the one TS I was going for this trip because it was " a hidden gem" with good prices.
Sneaky so and so's.
Was wondering why it's always got availability - is it not good or something ? (This was even before the price rise)

I think there’s a few reasons it’s not super popular. I think people never used to know it was there. I think people think there are ‘better’ options in MK for sit down, CRT or character dining.
I think it’s not the most ‘exciting’ of menus or settings.

We’ve eaten there many times (last time was probably about 3 years ago though) and used to love it.

We had the DDP on our last trip (this trip QS) However out of all the TS meals we had and character meets the only one we would pay OOP for would be Teppan Edo at Epcot. That place blown us away and the food was spot on ( obviously only if you like Chinese!) This is the only one that stood out for us all (party of 5)
