5 nights at Beach Club with DxDDP, any tips?

Never stayed onsite before so obviously never had the Dining Plan.

Don't know where to start re restaurants/meals.

Would like to try some signature restaurants... wondering what to do re breakfast?
Eat in room or eat in Disney restaurant?

Want to do all of the parks during our 4 full days.

Conscious of the fact that we'll be arriving in the first day at 8pm to the hotel and will be too tired to go out for a meal. What are our options for dinner/snack that first night?

Thanks in advance.

If you are doing the deluxe you need to eat atleast 2 table service meals a day so definitely breakfast at a restaurant.

I’d recommend Garden Grill as a breakfast option. An easy stroll through the world showcase first thing.
Do you think you’ll be too tired? We always have one of our best meals on the first night.
You’ll have lots around you so you could just take your chances in the world showcase on arrival?
Or one of the restaurants at Yacht and Beach?

Is Garden Grill near Soarin?

We're not all that bothered about character breakfasts as kids are older now.

Vanillapod yes I guess we could eat out in the hotel or very nearby?

Any recommendations?

It is!
Yeah, we’re not either but I booked on a whim due to its proximity and the fact it’s not a buffet. We were also on DXDDP so I figured we didn’t need to reserve credits for specific restaurants 🤷
We all really enjoyed it!
We went twice in the end.

We had a second Cali Brunch booked but it was eating into our time too much so we cancelled and went with GG again. Obviously very different experiences but this is so well placed for the Beach Club.

Any recommendations?
We loved yachtsman but that may be too heavy for arrival night?
DS is 15 so we don’t need to worry about overtired outbursts anymore and he loves food so we always have something nice to kick start the holiday. It’s on the doorstep so would be ideal.
There’s a single credit restaurant next door to Yachtsman and they apparently share a kitchen so that might be a good option?
Chefs de France was pretty good too and that’s very close to the international gateway for you

I'd look at The Wave at The Contemporary for a lovely breakfast or evening option, non character. It always gets good reviews on here.

You can get the bus to Magic Kingdom and then it's walkable to The Contemporary Resort.
