180 Days Fast Approaching! Help me sort out a scheduling/dining issue!

[angierae]

So, me, DH, DD16 and her friend, 14 are going to Disney at the end of March, and we're trying to nail down our "wants" for ADRs before our window opens in about ten days.

I had figured out a schedule that fit all our wants fairly well until I realized that put us at Chefs de France on a Sunday, which absolutely meant no Remy. (We know he's not guaranteed, but DD really wants to try.)

So I started juggling, and came up with this: (We have DxDP, btw.)

Saturday 3/31
Arrival Day.
CS lunch if we get airline tix for the AM
Dinner at Ohana

Sunday 4/1
CS breakfast
LLunch at e Cellier for DH and I
Something the girls pick out for them for lunch
Dinner at Garden Grill

Monday 4/2
Breakfast in the room
Lunch at Sci-Fi
Dinner at the 8pm Luau

Tuesday:
CS Breakfast
1:00pm Tusker House lunch
dinner at Beirgarten
watch Illuminations

Wednesday:
Breakfast at the MK bakery
Lunch at Tony's (DD's request)
Kids dinner on their own
DH and I at Yachtsman

Thursday:
Kids breakfast at 1900 PF
DH and I breakfast at Kona
Lunch at Chefs de France
Dinner at the Captain's Grill at the Beach Club
Boat over to HS to watch Fantasmic

Friday:
CS Breakfast
Spend the late morning/early afternoon at DTD
Lunch at Cap'n Jacks
Kids on own for dinner
DH and I have dinner at Jiko

Saturday (departure day)
Late breakfast at Akershus, fly home in the afternoon


(The girls will make ADRs for their lunchs but they haven't decided on them yet.)

Now, the problem of course, is Thursday. That involves having to be at four different places over the course of the day (five, since we're splitting for breakfast). I don't like that!

But I want to be at RD the first four days (starting each day in a different park) so the only real suggestion I can come up with is to do the breakfasts (1900 PF and Kona) on Friday, and head to DTD from there. Do you think that would make Thursday more doable? Suggestions?

Also, we were trying to find a DDP restaurant at DTD to eat at, and I liked what I saw on Cap'n Jack's menu, but does anyone have any other suggestions? (I'm not particularly interested in WPE.)

Also, we were trying to find a DDP restaurant at DTD to eat at, and I liked what I saw on Cap'n Jack's menu, but does anyone have any other suggestions? (I'm not particularly interested in WPE.) >>>For the dining plan, if you dont like wolfgang puck cafe, i'd recommend Raglan Road as i said above. Esp in the evening, you get to see celtic dancers/band!

I'll have to check the Raglan Road menu, thanks! (And the new sci-fi one!)

DD loved Tony's during our last trip, and I found it decent, so we'll eat there again for her. She thought it was delicious, which I know goes against almost every other person on the DIS.

It was so funny because I started juggling around our Chefs day and then took a good luck at the schedule and went "Yeah, that's NOT going to work."

I think I'll move it to Friday, definitely. Thank you!
