We love the food choices on site but the DDP is just too much food for us. It wouldn't make sense even if it was free.

We were going to stick with QSDP this year, but there we a few TS we wanted, and the convenience of staying in parks swung it, being able to max the Disney time - will miss some of the offsite places….
OKW though….love it - so chilled.

I agree. I don't think we will book with free dining again. We grabbed a last minute stay at AKL on our most recent visit without dining and we really struggled to find Disney restaurants to eat at that were reasonable value for money & had menu items we fancied. We did pay OOP for Boma, Raglan Road & Ohana which were all good, but had most of our meals offsite as we find the menus more varied and the food to be of similar or better standard for 1/2 the price.

Having a fussy eater did limit some of our choices, and I agree that most are not good value. There's an excellent choice of QS restaurants with a great variety of foods, so think it will be a mixture of these and off-site next time.

Hi we have had DDP on 4 occasions now and didn't find we had to much food but we usually do 3/4 signatures in 10 days, narcoosses , Cali grill both great for fireworks afterwards, another favourite yachtsman followed by a few drinks in jelly rolls with duelling pianos. Perhaps don't rule it out completely but maybe alter how you would use it

We aren't doing dining plan and have cut right down on ADRs due to the plummeting quality/ price ratio.
This year I've been very selective, only going for ones that offer some semblance of value. We are DVC and are eating more QS and even some in room. I've only booked: -Beaches and Cream- best burgers probably and about $25 a person all in. - Via Napoli- metre Pizza $55, feeds 4. - Homecomin'- very good. Chicken thigh biscuits starter can be had as main. - BOG lunch (no chance evening meal at New prices). Gets you sat down, air conditioned area, not too expensive at lunch. - The Plaza - good value, decent food. - Saana- very nice food, not bad prices. I intend doing a report when I get back, focusing in on how much I saved and whether it affected my enjoyment.

Having Dinner with Goofy

We’ve just returned from our first visit to WDW and had the DDP! I’m glad we did, however it did seem to be a lot of food. On our last day we had 10 TS meals and 10 snack credits. We managed to use them as sweets to bring home for presents for people!
I also think the meal options for the kids wasn’t the greatest, it seemed to be the same in every restaurant! My 9 year old son was so happy when we went to mama melrose and he had pasta! |

This will be our first visit without the DDP and I'm really looking forward to it. Been going through all the 'What's your favourite off-site... ' posts.
We've actually been struggling to pick 4/5 on site restaurants to eat in. So far we are thinking of: Teppan Edo Chef Mickeys (don't laugh, it's a family tradition) Hoop de Doo (which is actually a 'bad' use of DDP credits anyway. $67 v 2 credits) Boma, we love here (mixed African & Irish family) Funnily we're also heading back to Universal for 3N and it was pretty instant agreement on where to eat. Finnegans, Mythos and the Kitchen in the HRH

That was our biggest 'complaint' from out first visit in 2010. Wish they'd allow the possibility of smaller portions from the main menu for kids. Not an issue any more for us though
