Ooh, thanks for the advice! We're only planning to do a couple of dinner reservations that we can't do at lunchtime - like Ohana, for example. I might try and make it earlier... But really, who knows what our little boy will be like by then!
It's tricky because we can't base our whole trip around what he *might* be like in 6 months time. If he's really unsettled we could always cancel our dinner, but at the moment I think I'm just going to go ahead and plan, and hope for the best.
(We're from Australia so this is a big trip for us to begin with! We're also going to New York, Los Angeles and on a 3 night Disney cruise too. Yep, we're crazy!But it's exciting.)
Like skeettaffic said, it depends on you and your child. Normal "dinner time" for our kids at 6 months was around 6:30. However, I'm of the mind that you feed the kid when they're hungry. If it helps here is my story:
Not 6 months old, but at 18 months, we took our youngest, Quinn. Our first day in the parks started off at MK and then we were hopping over to Epcot for dinner at Tokyo Dining. We always let our kids eat when they are hngry (unless, of course, the reservations are within the hour....they can wait for that). But since Quinn wasn't on the dining plan, we weren't worried about it anyway because he would just eat off our plates. He ate around 4pm and we had 6pm reservations. He fell asleep on the way over and we left him asleep in the stroller next to the table for the majority of our meal. He woke up just in time for dessert. Even with all the noise and everything, he slept.
You'll be fine....no worries. Oh, and if you need to "cancel" just call Disney Dining while you're down there and they may be able to get you a reservation for a different time or even within the next couple of days. We did that once on our last trip. I forget where we were supposed to eat, but we just didn't want to sit down for dinner (we got caught up on the rides). I called about three hours before our reservation and then ended up making reservations for another restaurant for later in our trip.
I hope all this helps. And that you get all your ADRs!!!! I make mine Saturday morning.
I am not trying for BOG because the menu does not look appetizing enough for my 6 year old dd....she is a VERY picky eater
