How do reservations look?

[ski070880]

This will be the first time ever to Disney. It will be me, wife , 9,7,6 yr old boys and 20 month girl. We are arriving March 8 and leaving march 15. We are also on the Deluxe dinning plan and staying at Port Orleans Riverside. The kids have no clue we are going, so planning is even more difficult. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

I think they all look good. The only thing I would say is that I'd never book two sit-down meals in one day (as you have on your last full day). They take up a LOT of time that you might prefer spending on a "greatest hits" tour, which is what we do on our last day- we choose our most favorite attractions and visit them one last time.
Also I would strongly recommend that you go back to your hotel for a rest during the afternoon. The older kids can swim for while while the baby takes a nap or simply has some down time. It will make a huge difference!

I WOULD RECONSIDER PLANET HOLLYWOOD, I LIKE IT THERE , BUT IT IS VERY VERY NOISY. SINCE YOU WILL JUST BE ARRIVING AROUNG 3 ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO BE DOING A RESERVATION OTHER THEN AT YOUR RESORT NOT SURE WHERE YOU ARE STAYING? I WOULD MAYBE DO A DINNER RESERVATION AT YOUR RESORT THEN HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO RELAX BEFORE GOING TO THE PARKS.

SORRY JUST SAW THAT YOU WILL BE AT PORT ORLEANS, I WOULD REALLY CONSIDER DOING YOUR FIRST DINNING RESERVATION THERE! EVEN MORE SO THAT YOUR DAUGHTER IS ONLY 20 MONTHS OLD PLANET HOLLYWOOD TO ME WOULD BE TO MUCH FOR A LITTLE ONE HER AGE. HOPE THIS HELPS!

I would also skip Planet Hollywood. It is just not that great and more travel time after you have just arrived. What about the Plaza in MK, or one of the restaurants at the Poly before EMH and then catch the monorail to MK. I don't do the Dining Plan, so I don't know how many credits you are talking here. Have a great trip!
