Another question sorry, if you decided to upgrade your hotel would you still get DDP? We have booked in a moderate hotel and upgraded but if funds change in the future we might upgrade.
Also how long is the free DDP on for (our friends are now thinking about it) Thanks |

yes, I can answer this as we asked if we can upgrade. Not sure after the offer expires but before you will get the DDP if you upgade to deluxe
You can book until November, but after July gift card will be reduced to 100 usd |

Character buffets tend to be in the region of $30-35 depending on which meal. I know Tusker House breakfast was around $32. There are character meals at Cape May, Hollywood & Vine, Garden Grill, 1900 Park Fayre, 'Ohana, Akershus.
You can't use QS credits for TS meals. Lunch at Be Our Guest (and breakfast) are QS credits so you could have used your credits there. If you think there would be a lot of TS places you'd eat at it might be worth considering upgrading to standard DDP. Otherwise you could share a QS breakfast or lunch depending on how you like to eat. Yes if you have paid to upgrade DDP and upgrade your hotel then you'd get standard DDP and the cost difference taken into account. We did this a few years ago. The offer is on until November, the 3rd I think. The $200 giftcard finishes 9th July and I believe it will be replaced by a $100 for a time. |

QS places at HS aren't great IMO. My personal favourite is Staring Rolls as I love the turkey sandwich they do there and the dessert range is excellent. I can get my favourite fruit tart there. A QS meals is a sandwich, packet of crisps or piece of fruit, choice of cake/pastry/Danish and a drink. So, DH and I usually get ours from there and then wander down to the food area opposite Beauty and the Beast/Fantasmic to get the children their meal. You've got Fairfax fare, Catalina Eddies and Rosies All American Diner there. Normally just a pizza for DS and the half roast chicken for DD or if they're not too hungry, then the share the half roast chicken.

I agree, there's not a great choice. We tend to go to Backlot Express but ABC Commissars has some choices that are a bit different to standard QS meals.

This information might help people too. It's some of the food costs from our last 2 trips (Jan 2014 and Feb 2015). It's based on 2 adults and 2 children aged 10+ who ordered from the adult menu the majority of the time. They were charged adult prices at all character and buffet meals. Fortunately we were on the dining plan
2014: Mama Melrose Fantasmic lunch (3 courses) - $161.84 with tax Sci-Fi Dine-In lunch - $133.38 with tax Garden Grill - $161.84 with tax Be Our Guest dinner - $151.11 with tax Saana dinner - $115.28 with tax Crystal Palace breakfast - $106.50 with tax Teppen Edo dinner - $149.63 with tax Chef Mickey's dinner - $187.40 with tax Rainforest Café dinner - $109.38 with tax Planet Hollywood dinner - $125.05 with tax We also did Cinderella's Royal table and Hoop Dee Doo Revue which were both 2 TS credits 2015: Dinner at 1900 Park Fare - $178.88 with tax Lunch & dinner at Teppen Edo (ate here twice) - $182.90 with tax Dinner at Garden Grill - $178.88 with tax Fantasmic dining package at Mama Melrose - $170.02 with tax Dinner at Akershus - $204.44 with tax Lunch at Tusker House - $149.06 with tax Lunch at Crystal Palace - $127.76 with tax Dinner at 'Ohana - $161.84 with tax Dinner at Boma - $161.84 with tax Dinner at Hoop De Doo Revue - $259.96 with tax Some QS meals from 2015: Dinner at Wolfgang Puck Express - $87.12 with tax Lunch at Earl of Sandwich - $48.02 with tax Breakfast at Artist Palette - $32.44 with tax Lunch at Wolfgang Puck Express - $106.82 with tax Breakfast at Artist Palette - $35.32 with tax As you can see, Wolfgang Puck Express is a great use of a QS credit. We always ate at the Marketplace side one as it's bigger and has much more on the menu. Note, that this is one place where they do check how many adults and children you have on the plan so you can't order an adult meal for a child.

Tax is included but you need to pay tips for table service meals. The bill will have amounts on it based on 18 & 20% gratuities so you know without working it out.
