Hi everyone. Welcome to my first ever Dining Review. I did take SOME pictures, but, I can't make them small enough to include. So, no pictures, sorry, but, hopefully an interesting trek through our dining adventures 13-23 december 2017.
We ate at the following....
Gasparilla's
The Wave (Breakfast buffet)
Boatwrights (dinner)
Whispering Canyon Cafe (breakfast)
Le Cellier (dinner)
Tusker House (breakfast)
1900 Park Fare (dinner)
California Grill (Brunch)
Citricos
1900 Park Fare (breakfast)
Cinderella's Royal Table (dinner)
Kona Cafe (breakfast)
Sci Fi Dining (dinner)
Cape May (breakfast)
Trails End (dinner)
Akershus (breakfast)
O'hana (dinner)
Crystal Palace (breakfast)
Liberty Tree Tavern (dinner)
Grand Floridian Cafe (breakfast)
This includes some changes from our original plan, which was much heavier on signature dinners, but we discovered that our daughter *really* struggled with new foods and the lovely people at GF concierge helped me change about our dining plans at the last minute to help her. (So, my top tip is worry less about the top picks and 180 days, and trust that something you might really like will be available when you need it)
We are 2 adults and 1 11yr old boy (on the autistic spectrum, with specific food issues) and one 4 yr old girl (who is being referred for ASD testing and has even more restricted food issues) We are from the UK.
We had some excellent meals, some bad meals, but, one thing we all agreed on is that the DXDP is just WAY too much food for the uninitiated. We got ours at a large discount, so, we definitely got our money's worth, but, we in no way used all the credits. I even used some to pay for breakfast at GF Cafe on our last morning for a whole other family as well. We also brought home an ENORMOUS amount of snack credit items.
On our last but one day, a server at one of the resort QS locations was shocked how many credits we had left when we were swapping out for snacks to take home for the kids class mates, and asked us if we had eaten at all while we were there. I laughed and told her we had eaten way too much food, and she said that Most Americans like to eat 3 meals a day, and need the DXDP credits. I am not sure this is entirely the case.
