Boathouse DDP

[Floridatilly]

Does anyone know if you can club your credits together and order the S’mores baked Alaska?

Also, if you are ordering steak etc do you get a side, fries etc? Or do you have to order/pay separate for those?
Is it worth the 2 credits?
We are definitely going, just deciding if we should go whilst on the DDP or pay when we move to the villa

Yes you can club credits for the S’mores dessert.
The steaks come with a little veg and a couple of potatoes (very small!). You pay for extra sides which are big enough to share. Some of the cheaper meals eg burger do come with fries.
It’s not great value on DDP but you do get the bread service too. I didn’t bother with extra sides as knew dessert was massive and had the bread too.

This is why I am not sure if I should pay or use DDP because I have a feeling our two teenagers will go for the burgers.
I would quite like the baked Alaska all for myself lol I bet I could finish it 😳

Can you use a mix of DDP credits & cash?
Use credits for 3 of us and pay for the rest?
My daughter now says she just wants a starter and my son wants a burger so do not fancy using 2 credits each for that lol

Yep just tell the server what you want to do.

Boathouse is worth it just for the bread.

Also one of the steaks(cooked in a lovely garlic butter) come with fries. And the cheese cake is one of the best I've had

If the side is listed as a side on the menu you won’t get it on the dining plan, you will only get whatever is listed in the entree description. I have not been to the Boathouse yet but I have thought about it and it was always an OOP option for us as I don’t think it is worth two credits. I will book it next time and use credits but only as we have deluxe dining plan and it is a bit hard to work through those credits. If I were on regular dining plan, this is one I would pay for.

In our experience, the baked Alaska was very much style over substance! It was definitely nothing special, didn't taste particularly great, and the only good thing about it was the photos. We wouldn't get it again. I can't remember how many people's credits we had to club together to get it.

I've seen reviews on YouTube where people were all saying to skip the baked Alaska for exactly the reasons you described.

I am glad you mentioned that. It was this item that was pushing us towards using DDP when really the food we want is not worth the two credits. So we will just pay OOP
