Sat- Artist Pt at 5:35 using 4 total credits Been once and was NOT impressed at all. Contradictions like this seem to be the norm now for many WDW restaurants (and I suppose restaurants in general.) My expierience at Artist Point 7 years ago was A+.

They all sound good.
The only one I have been to is the Cape May Cafe for dinner. I love it, one of our favorites.

Yeah...so true. My SIL and BIL love Artist Point. We don't. My FIL and MIL love Liberty Tree Tavern and my SIL and BIL hated that place. And we find we may LOVE a place the first time we go and then not like it so much the next time.

I haven't been to any of your choices, but we're trying Cape May for the first time in November. I think they all sounds great, have a wonderful time!

Artist Point was excellent in September. The service was outstanding.

looking forward to AP again.
I was thinking of cancelling poss Nine Dragons and Cape May and goin w another signature, but cant get CG or the castle.
I was afraid w my current ADRs and all the CS credits i have to use, along w snacking at F&W fest it might be too much.
I dont know about trying Citricos maybe...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Cape May Cafe is considered a signature restaurant and therefore would only be 1TS. Oh, btw, it is one of our very favorites!

no i meant cancelling the 1 TS of both Nine Dragons and Cape May, and using those 2 TS credits on another signature.Im starting to think it will b too many meals. that way it would be 1 meal instead of 2, since we will also have 6 CS.
Im not sure wat to go with..right now there she has pneumonia, so there might b a chance the trip wont happen

oops, I re-read your post! Know what you mean about too much food and we have in the past just did the signature and it worked out well. Hope she improves and you are able to make the trip. Keep us posted.

Crow, I hope that your fiance gets well soon.

I think you'll be happy with AP. I noticed a big improvement over our last visit 4 years ago.

I know that when we had made all of our ADRs and were down to a few weeks before our trip, I started to over-think them all. I had to remind myself that I had made these reservations for a reason, and to stick with my gut feeling. But...

That being said, my husband, 3 year-old son, and I recently had a 5-night stay and ate at 3 sit down meals on our recent trip. No one felt hungry. I know that the 2TS places aren't the "best" use of the DDP but we feel that using the plan this way is a good way to spread out the meals and really enjoy them. We split many of the CS meals, too. I think that you'd be able to do that with F&W snacks. So if you could get an ADR for Citrico's I'd consider making the switch.
