A few questions re: DDP

[kjccr]

When using the DDP, do you order off the menu just as a "paying" customer would, or is there is a limited menu to order from? We are looking at the menu of some of the signature restaraunts and cannot believe that we would be able to choose some of those more expensive items...even with it taking 2 credits of TS. Also, do they let you use your TS credits as CS? For example, if we used up all our CS credits but still had TS left, could we still go to CS and use our TS credits? And finally, do they seriously let everyone order an appetizer? That would be a lot of food when you are talking an appetizer, entree, and dessert for everyone!
Thanks

You order off of the same exact menu as everyone else. Some restaurants have a few limitations (no add on on of lobster tail, etc.) but for the most part there are no limitations Look what the charge is per day of the plan and the fact that signature restaurants take 2 credits. I personally think that you get more out of the plan at other restaurants (but that is my opinion.)

Also, do they let you use your TS credits as CS? For example, if we used up all our CS credits but still had TS left, could we still go to CS and use our TS credits?

Some people have reported that they have been able to do this but I wouldn't count on being able to do this since it is not an outlined use of the plan. Plus, it doesn't make financial sense to use credits in that manner.

And finally, do they seriously let everyone order an appetizer? That would be a lot of food when you are talking an appetizer, entree, and dessert for everyone!

Yes, everyone using a credit is entitled to order an appetizer. Some aren't very big (many of the shrimp coctails come to mind) and we ususally lie to try diffrent things and share our appetizers. Plus you can always take leftovers with you

Hope this helps

The "everyone gets an appetizer, entree, and dessert" is part of why sharing is such a good deal. It is way more food than we could eat. We frequently had the dessert boxed to take back to the resort.
