Well, I'm willing to try the deluxe plan, to see how it goes. I really do like the idea of three TS meals per day, even if it's alot of sitting/eating. I usually make a point of taking time for sitting throughout the day anyway.. it's tiring walking around all that time! LOL
But as far as pros go, the idea that we don't have to flip a coin to see which TS we're going to exclude because we have more ideas than we have TS credits is going to be great. Now we can go to Cinderella's Royal Table and not pay OOP. We can sample each of the restaurants we've wanted to try but haven't been able because we only had one per night.
I'm glad not to bother with the counter service meals. They weren't bad, but I'd much rather be at a TS.
On the con side, paying for the gratuity is going to suck. When we went last year, we ate at the Concourse Steakhouse and our bill was over $100 (just for two of us!) and paying that gratuity would certainly have been expensive.. although I must say, getting a hundred bucks worth of GREAT food was worth the money in tips! The staff were kind and courteous everywhere we went, and they certainly deserve it. That sort of makes it a little less awful to cough up that money.
So now, on the regular
DDP, they're not including the appetizer, but they do include the tip? Or no?
I'm confused now.
