A Few Questions

[DisneyCP2002]

I'm heading into my priority seating window of time and I've got a few last minute questions.

1) If I leave MK on my first night around 5:30 or so should I tour a few resorts(namely Wilderness lodge first then go eat at Chef Mickey's? If I did that what time should I make my PS for Chef Mickey's or should I eat first.

2) What is the BEST time for a seating at Crystal Palace leading up to MVMCP?

3) What's the earliest seating available for the following places at breakfast:
Donald's Breakfasaurus
CRT
Princess'

4) I leave on the 17th around 2. I want to eat at Prime Time 50's Cafe for lunch. What time should I make my PS for?

I think those are my main questions right now. Thanks for the help.

The earliest that you can get a PS for LTT is 5pm, so I would imagine that a dinner PS for 5pm at the Crystal Palace would also be the best time since it allows you to dine before the party starts and will give you the ability to enter the park early with only your MVMCP ticket in hand. Mickey

First, keep in mind that the CR is connected by monorail to MK so it would be easy to travel to while WL would need a connection at TTC then a bus, I think? Otherwise, you'd have to drive there. Will you have a car? That might make your decision right there. You could tour the Poly, GF and CR along the monorail before heading to WL. I would eat first before touring.

Donald's breakfast starts at 8am even though the park doesn't open till 9am. Be sure to get there on time or earlier as they have to walk you to the restaurant in groups of about 10-15. We were running late for our 8:30am PS (got there right at 8:30am) and had to wait for the next group. We didn't get to the restaurant till 9am. Make sure to allow enough time for travel (getting lost ) etc. They admit you to the park on the far left side.

Those are the only ones I can answer.

The easiest way to get to WL from MK is to take the boat. There's also a boat from WL to the CR. It's nice to be able to see WL during the day, so you might want to go there first (depending on the time of year and when the sun goes down).

Allow at least 1/2 hour to get to WL. I can't remember the schedule, but at certain times of the day the MK boat goes to FW campgrounds first and then WL. You might want to allow up to an hour to walk around WL --- depends on how much you want to poke around. You could also enjoy a drink, if you choose.

CR is only a 5" boat trip from WL, but you might be waiting 15-20 minutes for the boat, so allow another 1/2 hour to get to the CR and up to Chef Mickey's. So, a Chef Mickey's ressie for 7-7:30, depending on how much time you want to take at the Lodge. (The Lodge boat dock is a 5" walk to the main lobby, so you could "see" that and be back to the boat in 15", if you want to do it quickly.)

After you eat, you can also jump on the monorail and visit the Poly and GF, if you really want to check out all the MK resorts. Have fun!
