Well, tonight is the big night! Disney gets flooded by a million people trying to make dining reservations, and I'm one of them.
I've been considering our plan and how I can adjust things for maximum flexibility on the days where we aren't 100% sure we know which park we'll be at. I'm all about planning and itinerary, but after we go to every park once, it's hard to say where we'll be some days. What if my kids don't want to spend a second day at Ak? What if they LOVE Epcot and we need to spend another full day there, what about DHS?
So this was the original plan:
Tuesday the 26th:
Plane lands at 6amish, head to POFQ for check-in, grab breakfast at the resort, then AK, dinner at Boma (ideal time: 5:45).
I think we'll leave this day the way it is. After travelling all night, I like the idea of going to AK because the park closes at 5 and without PH we'll be forced to have dinner and then relax.
Back up ideas for dinner? I'm not sure yet.
Wednesday the 27th:
Magic Kingdom. I'd like to get Brynn a BBB appointment before rope drop in the castle. Then all day at MK with dinner at LTT, ideally around 5pm so we can watch Spectro at 7, then Wishes at 8.
My parents are going to join us this day, so I'll need reservations for 6. That's important to remember. I'd like to keep this day as planned too. Last time we did BBB, Brynn wanted to wear her Princess dress again and again, so I want to go there early in the week. Also, I wanted to do MK the first day we were there but it isn't a Specro night and I just don't like the idea of not even going to MK until the third or fourth day when we have little kids.
Back up dinner ideas? This day I want to stay in the park all day if we can, so probably Tony's. CP will be down for the time we're there so we don't have a ton of options. If LTT doesn't work out, I'll probably go for a resort dinner on the monorail so we can minimize the busses. I may be entirely too ambitious, but we're used to staying off-site, so we've never really left the park in the middle of the day even when Brynn was little like Ez. I guess we'll just have to play that element by ear.
Thursday the 28th:
EPCOT. My parents will be with us again, but this time they're taking the kids in the early evening so Ty and I can have some adult time. We're hoping for dinner at Le Cellier, then we'll either ride some things on our own or maybe even go over to the Boardwalk, which I've never seen before. We'll see how we feel after dinner. We won't be using a TS credit for Brynn that night, which means later in the week when we have breakfast at Kona, we'll only be paying OOP for two of us.
Again, I'd like for this day to stay as is if possible. Mom, Brynn and I are going ti pick a pearl in Japan and it would be nice to have dinner at LC without the kids.
Back up dinner ideas? I would probably try for Teppan Edo or Chefs de France.
Friday the 29th:
DHS. Hopefully breakfast for 6 at Chef Mickey's.
Again, stay the same, we want to hit each of the 4 parks in the first 4 days. Actually, I think we switched EPCOT and DHS from our initial plans because we've decided against Fantasmic this vacation so we're going to avoid DHS on Fantasmic night hoping that it'll be a little quieter. Back up dining? I have no idea.
Saturday the 30th:
We've been planning on MK this day because we know for sure that we want to spend at least 2, probably 3 days at MK, so we were trying to spread them out.
I'm getting the feeling that Saturday is a bad day to go to MK. I could use thoughts and expertise here. If we do MK, we'll try for dinner at O'Hana.
Sunday the 31st:
Animal Kingdom, dinner at WCC.
If we switch MK from Saturday we'd probably flip-flop AK and do AK on Saturday, MK on Sunday. Of course, there's always the chance that the kids don't even want to go to AK this day, but I think I'll try for WCC either way and we can just play the park by ear. Decisions Decisions.
Monday the 1st:
Magic Kingdom, Breakfast at Kona Cafe.
Egads, I have mixed feelings about this. I wanted our last full day to be at Magic Kingdom, because I know the kids will like it most there. But Monday is never a great day to go. Despite that, I think I'll keep it the way it is.
Our plane leaves at 3:30 pm on this day, so we'll have just a couple of hours in the park. Our plan is EPCOT with breakfast at Askerhaus. We wants to leave WDW with a bang and since our daughter is 5, it doesn't get much better than the Princess breakfast.
So I guess I'm not switching a lot, we flip-flopped a couple of days, but it's harder to plan without Park Hoppers, those ADRs make each day a bigger commitment.
I wish you much luck in ADR acquiring! You can do it!
Thinking of starting one once we get the whole ADRs mess out of the way! We have all been sick with the flu/nasty head cold this last week so I haven't been motivated to do much typing. Maybe next weekend! 
Had a rough night with one of the girls and was so exhausted getting into the shower I forgot what it was I was supposed to do! 
I just kept kind of turning around looking at stuff trying to figure out what was going on! 
We will definitely have to make a point of trying to meet up at the POFQ playground for a few moments to say hello!
