Big changes to DDP for 2013

The biggest changes are for restaurants in Epcot, only 4 are remaining as 1 credit meals;
Biergarten, Chefs de France, Coral Reef, and Rose and Crown. Le Celleir is 2 credits for lunch and dinner.

ALL other restaurants are gone. Sad

Is this legit? I can't find any other information on it, like on the disney food blog or the disney blog and it just doesn't seem right that they would get rid of most of the epcot restaurants and DTD restaurants...especially ones that they just added in 2012.

I think I remember that it takes a while for all of them to sign up for the DDP. I would not be concerned about them not being on the list yet. I do know that when Fultons announced that they would start taking this year it was not on the list this early nor were a lot of the EPCOT restaurants.

Sorry, this scrappy, Mrhub was signed in on my IPad again.

I'm pretty sure that is what it says on the Disney Food Blog as well, it takes time for the restaurants to finalize and fully sign up under the plan. I for sure hope that is the case anyway, I would be really upset if I had a trip planned and suddenly all the food options I wanted were gone. Hope that doesn't happen when I finally do get to go back, haha. (Not till 2016.... Sigh)

This happened last year, Disney put out a "tentative" list of restaurants on the DDP that was rather slim. I think what this list is, is the Disney run restaurants that they are 100% sure will participate. The 3rd party providers sign up for their contracts later in the year and Disney will release an updated DDP file as that happens. No need to panic! It's just not quite time for the full list yet mickey

Yeah i wouldn't get your nickers in a bind. Looks like they just don't have the complete list yet. Like Kristen said, same thing happened last year. At one point last year they didn't have the Cali grill on the list either.

I wouldn't worry either. It's still early. But did anyone else notice on the 2013 plan, it listed "Be Our Guest" as being scheduled to open in Fall 2012????

Yeah it supposed to be open for the holidays, which I would think they mean Thanksgiving.

The first list always causes my heart to squeeze, but it has always expanded as the rest of the restaurants "sign up" or whatever. Last year I had some palpitations but all was well!
