So as this will be my first trip to WDW, I wanted to get opinions on my dining reservations. I've read plenty of blogs and looked at all the menus but personal experiences and stories would be great! :)
Tuesday: lunch at Via Napoli, Dinner at Ohana
Wednesday: breakfast at Kona, lunch at Les Chefs de France, dinner at Le Cellier
Thursday: breakfast at Ohana, dinner at Spirit Of Aloha
Friday: lunch at 50s prime, dinner at Yatchmen
Saturday:breakfast at Tusker, dinner at Sanaa
Sunday: breakfast at Crystal Palace, lunch at Skipper Canteen, dinner at BOG
Monday:breakfast at CRT.
 
Everyone is different and everyone has different preferences when it comes to a trip to WDW, so take any suggestions with a grain of salt.

The places you have listed are ones I would love to eat at. That said, that would be way too many TS meals for me. Now, we are travelling with small children and are more focused on the parks/rides/etc., so your plans may be completely different. We will plan two TS meals in a day with generally just some snacking in between or a light lunch (such as Ohana breakfast and Biergarten dinner with some snacking in WS), but I cannot imagine doing three TS in a day.
 
Are you on a dining plan? That's a lot of table service meals, but the look amazing! Everyone is different with their touring styles, but if you are a foodie, I think you'll be in heaven! Have a great trip!
 
Are you staying at Poly? As I see you have a lot of reservations at Poly.

Have you considered travel time? It'll take time to get from the parks to the resorts, and it'll also mean time away from the parks.

But as the other posters suggested, everyone is different, and I think your choices are great, if you like those choices, stick with them

It's just me and my boyfriend going and we're major foodies lol
I'm currently a cast memeber in California and we hardly do the rides over here. We mostly go to the parks and enjoy the food or the few shows Disneyland offers. 3 TS is a lot that's why I tried to do some days with 2 TS but one being a signature. Thank you for your input though!(:

We are on the Deluxe dining plan. I know it's a lot of food but WDW has some amazing restaurants and I didn't want to miss any. I'll take the risk of wobbling around the parks:rotfl:

I wish we were lol
We're staying at a value resort. I tried making our breakfast adrs well before park opening except on a couple of days to allow for occasional sleeping in lol
We plan to use uber for our breakfast reservations then use Disney transportation after (:

There are a ton of great options! I'm going on an adult trip next February and plan to roll myself home! :)
 
Are ADR's available for Skipper's Canteen? I thought it was only same day reservations.
 
As others have said, it's all subjective. Given you have the deluxe dining plan you already know you are going to be waddling around so your plans look o.k. to me. Way too much food for me but I'm not a big meal eater, I tend to eat 4 or 5 small meals a day. I think your Fri might be a bit loaded just because 50s is pretty heavy comfort food to eat that and then eat at Yachtsman might be a little too much. Two heavy rich meals back to back in one day might be overwhelming. Sunday is looking a bit much as well. I've never eaten at Crystal Palace as I'm not much of a character meal sort of gal but from what I understand isn't it a buffet? Despite what some have said, Skipper's Canteen is not really small portions and some of the food can be a little rich (I loved it by the way but my grown son and I split an appetizer and an entre and walked out stuffed) and don't you get appetizer/entre and dessert on Deluxe? A buffet, that big meal at lunch then a fairly big meal at supper and you might need some alka seltzer that night.
 
I would just make sure you check the spacing of the meals. We are big eaters, and I was stuffed the entire time on the trip I did deluxe dining. I would make those lunches as early as possible and dinners as late as possible when you have a lunch and a dinner. The choices look great.

I just did an adult trip with my mom and we did nothing but eat and wobble lol.

On adult grips, we do the deluxe dining plan and do one breakfast TS and one signature TS dinner per day and then snack in the parks in between. Always works out well for us.


Have fun!
