Just booked my ADR's today and it was a breeze. The nicest lady in the world helped me, her name was Abigail Lynn. The dates we are going are Sat Nov 18 - Sat Nov 25. We are staying at the Contemporary and it will be myself, DW, DD9 and DD3.

Sat 18th - Arrive in the late morning early afternoon, so we will just get something light to eat. Dinner at Chef Mickey's at 5:30pm

Sun 19th - Animal Kingdom day. Grab breakfast at the Food and Fun center then off to AK. Tuskerhouse for lunch and Cali Grill for dinner at 7:00pm

Mon 20th - Magic Kingdom day. Grab breakfast at the Food and Fun center. We were able to score a lunch at Cindy's at 12:05 and then dinner at Whispering Canyon at 6:30.

Tue 21st - Epcot Day. Akershus Storybook Breakfast at 9:05. Lunch at the Coral Reef at 12:00 and dinner at Le Cellier at 7:30.

Thur 23rd - Thanksgiving - MGM Day- Food and fun center for breakfast. 50's prime time for lunch at 11:30. Dinner at Brown Derby at 4:20 with the Fantasmic package.

Fri 24th - Sea World Day - Not sure what to eat there, any suggestions?

Sat 25th - Homeward bound we'll just find light stuff to munch on.

Can't wait, really looking forward to this. My wife thinks I am nuts for all of this planning, but I'll be laughing last come November. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
 
Sound like you have a lot of great meals planned! We have always planned our meals and it works best for us! We are doing CRT for lunch and Coral Reef for the first time in Aug and have eaten at Chef Mickeys, CP, PrimeTime, and LeCellier (my favorite) all were good! Have fun!
 
You have lots of great meals planned! I'd suggest finding a place for Beaches and Cream in your itinerary. We have gone on every single one of our numerous trips, and it has consistently never served a bad meal. It is one of our favorites. Spoodles is also fun, as is the Cape May Cafe. Le Cellier supposedly has good food, but when we went there years ago, it felt a little too cramped. Also, wdw is home to some great Counter Services that are great for quick lunches or snacks. You might consider the Main Street bakery for breakfast one day before Magic Kingdom.
Enjoy your trip!!!

Beaches and Cream was a place I wanted to go but got overruled by the others into going to Crystal Palace. The BandC pictures on the food picture thread are great. Hopefully I will have some time to get it in. Thanks for the Main St. Bakery idea, I remember seeing pics from that a while ago and they looked great. Looks like a place the kids will love!!
 

You seem to have a lot of great places planned, but I think you actually have too many TS planned for some days. When booking more than one (1) TS per day, you may really feel like you are tied to a schedule. We typically plan only one, sometimes two, TS in one day. Mostly book a nice dinner or on the occasion a breakfast and then a dinner.

For example: On the 21st, you have 3 TS planned. There is no way I would be hungry for that much food. I would actually dump the lunch at Coral Reef and just grab something in the WS to munch on.

Same thing for the 22nd and 23rd. CP has a huge buffet. That is a lot of food before having the wonderful V&A's. Again, 50's and Brown Derby back to back can be a ton of food!!

I think you have made some great choices for you first trip, but I would not try to cram so many TS into your trip.

Hope you have a wonderful vacation!!!

I agree. That is definately alot of food for those days. I would loose the lunches and just grab a snack.

The 22nd I would try to get Crystal Palace for breakfast (maybe a late one)
You have some great choices.
