Hahha! Yes! We're here until the 11th!
Subbing!

Sounds like a pretty low-key arrival day, which is good. Grazing through the Food and wine booths is much better than rushing to an ADR on your first day, in my opinion. Plus, ending your day with IllumiNations, then going back to your room at AoA...can I just say I'm jealous?
Your arrival day sounds great! I'm debating on trying AoA next year... I swore I'd never go back to a value but our DVC rental may fall through so I'm considering it.... We never done F & W on arrival night but you have me considering it. I can't think if a better "dinner" than whatever I want from WHERE EVER I want! If only I didn't have to wait A YEAR from today!!!!
BUT I know that you do love LC, and why not go to the restaurant that you love multiple times during your trip???? Keeping the ADR, I would go with Epcot Friday, AK Saturday, MK Sunday.
My vote: keep your LC ADR.

My vote: keep your LC ADR. Also keeping in mind that in 2013, it'll go to 2 TS for lunch AND dinner, take advantage of the menu as it is at the moment!
I am going to totally second this! Make your life easier by not doing on the park switches. Plus, I know when you get dehydrated or if its hot you tend to get headaches, which wipe you out. Make your life simple. Switch it up a bit and save MK until later in the trip.
Enjoy the Le Cellier lunch because you love it there, but do Epcot that day too.
I vote Secret Option #4. Cancel the Le Cellier reisse. Don't you have 85 million Le Cellier ADRs for this trip? Or was that last trip? I can't remember... What if you just made a lunch ADR in the MK (or at one of the monorail resorts)?
I also really want to make sure that you get to Animal Kingdom on this trip!!! I'm really no help, it's all very confusing to me! I feel like if the ADR were out of the mix, it would be much easier to decide. If you have another ADR for Le Cellier later in the trip then that is definitely what I suggest... even know I know that wasn't even secret option number three!

I will try my best to help with your dilemma.
Okay, I haven't heard your other plans for the rest of the trip, so I can't comment on your other plans yet, but the one thing that sticks out to me would be making sure that you're taking advantage of the F&W festival. If you stick with your original proposed plans, F&W stays in the mix. If you switch it up, it doesn't. So that might be something to consider too.
I agree that I hate switching from park to park. It's annoying, but I'll do it when I feel that it's best.

I honestly have no idea... I mean, I honestly wouldn't suggest going to MK on the morning of a Le Cellier ADR again just because of what happened in May.

Hmm. Alright.
I am remembering correctly that you have multiple LC ADR's this trip, right? If so, then I would consider cancelling the one for Friday, and sticking with the MK Friday, Epcot or AK Saturday, AK or Epcot Sunday.

I was basically thinking a combination of these two posts, so I'll second (and third) them. Less park hopping and more Le Cellier. Keeping MK until later just makes it all the more magical!
haha, I agree with this one. I know you love Le Cellier but in my opinion it just seems like a little too much park hopping (and I like park hopping!) to start at the MK, go to Epcot for the ADR, then go to DHS and possibly back to Epcot. And I always like to go to the MK on our first park day-I don't think I could wait a couple days! If you really want to go to Epcot, why not just go for the Food and Wine stuff instead of the ADR? That way you don't have to worry about being there at a certain time. Sorry, I'm probably no help.
I agree, Marissa. I know it's all a matter of preference but this is pretty much why we don't bother making tons of ADRs. It seems like a hassle trying to figure out plans when you have to worry about being somewhere for a meal.
Hmmm, I am so bad at making decisions, but i agree with some other readers, keep LC , you love it and if you start at MK, you might not leave..ane the $50 cancellation fee is tough to swallow!!
So valentine is gone...as we knew he would be...lets see how the search for a new mgr goes...
F&W is over less than halfway into your trip, right? I'd say take advantage of that as much as you can and skip Le Cellier until later in the week when F&W isn't an option. I'd also suggest doing F&W at least one afternooon as opposed to an evening b/c if you start right around the time that WS opens, the crowds won't be as crazy.
I'd also say do less park hopping. I know the heat shouldn't be as big of an issue but don't run the risk of getting sick. Also, it's still early on in your trip and you don't want to get run down and end up exhausted and not enjoy your whole trip.
I'd do:
Friday: Epcot (AM: Future World, Late AM/Early PM: F&W), Park Break, DHS
Saturday: AK, Park Break, Cali Grill, MK
I don't envy you to have to make that decision. I am in the same boat. We are doing MK most of Sat, because that is the only day my sister can go. Did you know that right now it's showing every WDW hotel booked for that weekend. This is NOT making me happy at all. This was supposed to be a slower time of year to go...you know compared to my normal Spring break trips. It's looking worse for that weekend. Luckily I have a couple of days at MK, so hopefully we can get what we want done.
I am just going to go with the flow...I hope.
I am now hungry looking at your ADRs...thanks.
Joining in! So excited to hear all about your plans for this trip!
