I enjoy signatures, we love Narcoosee's because the lobster tail and steak is amazing, we like going over to Grand Floridian and seeing the water light pagent (not sure it's the correct name!).
NOW looking at narcoosees as love lobster and it has been such a long time since I have treated myself to the yum

Anyway yes, going offsite will mean your credits go further and free some up for the 2TS restaurants. I did not know that was your plan, hence it felt like you might run out.
Haha funnily enough no I might not sit down, especially if I am just getting a coffee and a Danish these will be the days I grab from QS and am on way out.
But I will be sitting down when offsite esp at Cracker Barrel and Longhorn.
I am actually more concerned I will be so full up on the signature days I will only actually snack on the other days, esp in the heat

We’re using 2 credits for Hoop Dee Doo. Not sure what it’s like but really looking forward to it 😊

I really doubt it, I didn’t find the 2 credit meals a massive amount of food at all. Cali grill brunch you have access to a lot but the other dinners are same if not less than 1 credit sometimes. I find when restaurants start becoming fine dining their portions decrease.

DN why are you going to be too full on Signature days? I'd say if anything the portion sizes are either the same or smaller than a normal TS, looks great on the plate though Word of caution on Kona though, what had been a staple of ours will no longer be, you basically get your meat/fish etc & that is it, you have to pay extra for any sides !
Last try Given the way you plan to eat are you absolutely sure Free Dining & upgraded plan is for you? You might actually be better off waiting for the free nights offer, cheaper pass & then just paying OOP with the added bonus of not having a "stick" to the normal 2 courses IYKWIM

Signature dining does not mean loads of food! If anything it means less food as generally meals get smaller but more sophisticated as you “upgrade”. The biggest meals will probably be the QS meals.

If you really do not stop to sit down and eat at least once every day, I actually thought sitting down to eat two or three times a day was normal , but if you have days when you don’t stop to eat even once, I honestly would not bother with a dining plan at all but definitely would not upgrade it.

I do have to agree that most of the signature dining meals I've had had been "just right" portions but it does depend on what experience it is and what you order!

California Grill brunch - ALWAYS leave feeling like I've had too much food, but that is because the appetiser buffet is delicious and there is so much variety that I always eat a lot. Then on top of that there is the main course. And then dessert (almost always boxed up to go as I have no space by that point for any more food).

At most of the signature dining places - generally if I get starter + main or main + dessert the portion is just about right. If I get starter + main + dessert then I get ridiculously full...

California Grill brunch and Tiffins FOTLK package are good as are Narcossees and Jiko.

Flying Fish gets good reviews so trying that this year.

For one credit we like Toledo at Gran Destino Tower at CSR, Grand Floridian Café and The Wave.

Also trying Topolinos this year.

Some good ones at Disney Springs, Homecomin, Boathouse and Morimoto Asia.

We did Deluxe plan last year - our final plan here:
https://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/sho...8&postcount=26

So did quite a few 2 Service Meals.

Cali Brunch is an absolute definite.
We had really good meals at Tiffins and Jiko.
Hollywood brown derby do a 2TS Fantasmic package, which might be worth doing - same for Tiffins and the Lion King show.
We preferred Yachtsman over Le Cellier, but both are good.
CRT you have to do at least once.
BOG is now a 2 credit restaurant at night.
Consider the shows? Hoop-de-do or Spirit of Aloha (no mickey's backyard at the moment as far as I know).
Artist Point Storybook dining was an excellent 1 credit option.

I don't think I've ever seen us offered free nights? I do see the US get this.
That could work out cheaper so another option for me to look at.
Although I have never had the DDP before and to me this is a luxury i am looking forward to, as finally decided I don't care if I am in a sit down restaurant on my own
