We are a group of 7 ( 2 families) and everyone has left it up to me where to eat and when.
We are only there for 5 nights and because of that, we don't want to spend a lot of time traveling to other resorts to eat. We plan on eating in the parks we are in for the day. We do have park hoppers because we are under the impression that Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios aren't necessarily a full day.
Where would you eat? We are planning on using the dining plan for the first time, which I'm still not sold on. My 12 year old son is a very picky and plain eater. Would probably eat chicken fingers or pizza at every meal. One family will pretty much eat anything, it's my family that's a pain to feed. We'd like to get the most bang out of the dining plan because it's expensive for us.
Here's an idea of what I might be looking at doing:
Arrival day (Tuesday) we will probably eat at the POP food court so we can hurry and get into Hollywood Studios. Then we plan on eating dinner at 50s Prime Time Cafe.
2nd day - Magic Kingdom - eat breakfast in the resort and then do lunch at Crystal Palace and dinner at Cosmic Rays.
3rd day - Epcot - breakfast at the resort and then lunch at Coral Reef, dinner at a counter service place.
4th day - Animal Kingdom - Character Breakfast at Tusker House, lunch at Flame Tree BBQ ( is that even open in December? heard it's seasonal) - not sure about dinner, guess that will be counter service out of pocket.
5th day - we'll go wherever we want to, hit things that we might have missed on the days we were there. We're fine park hopping this day. How do we make ADRs? Or should we just wing it that day?
6th day - departure day. Are planning on taking an evening flight so we might hit a park in the morning - again - so set plan so no ADR idea.
Should we skip the character breakfast at Animal Kingdom and do a character breakfast on this day?
Any ideas will be very much appreciated. Again, I want to make the best of my dining plan options and also cater to a very picky family!
Thank you
