DDP Brochure?

[ShookieJones]

Hey all,

First off why do they make finding the DDP brochure soo hard on the WDW site?
Second – When they first release the .pdf – (which I think I finally found a copy )– half of the restaurants that eventually will be included aren’t even listed as choices.
I really messed myself up last year because I booked my ADRs based on the early version Of that DDP brochure, only to see one way after the fact that was updated with tons of new restaurants.
I had originally read that a lot of places weren't going to be participating in the DDP so it didn't seem odd when a places weren't listed.

Is there a reason why Restaurants like Chefs de France aren’t listed early on, only to be added later? The restaurants in Epcot seem to lacking the most early on.

As I understand it, some restaurants are still in negotiations with Disney when the brochure is first released. They get added to the on-line version as soon as those negotiations are resolved. The best bet is to use the on-line brochure as it is as up to date as possible. Then keep an eye on it for changes in the interim.

I keep the current brochure bookmarked.

Make ADRs for evreything you want that has previously been on the DDP. Make sure that the restaurant is still on the DDP by checking the online brochure. Cancel and rebook as necessary. Reference old brochures for an idea what will most likely be on the DDP.

Thanks

for the info. I'll keep it bookmarked myself and do any ADR booking from there.

As MontyMon stated, as soon as those negotiations are completed, the updated brochure will be posted. Historically this happens on or just before January 1st.

You will find many of Epcot's ethnic restaurants are owned and operated by chefs and proprietors from their respective homeland to providing guests with unique, exciting and one-of-a-kind dine experiences they can only find together at Disney.
