ADR dilemma - need help please!

[doodlemama]

OK, we are leaving on 11/3 and this was a last minute trip for DH's work. We are me, dh, dd5, ds3, and dd3months, along with our babysitter for an extra set of hands. We have ddp and are trying to get some good meals that we haven't done before. The only thing we might do that isn't new to us is Biergarten b/c the kids LOVED the music when we went in February and they are still talking about it. But we might skip it...So, knowing that, please help me figure out what to do! We have never gotten 1900 PF dinner or Ohana dinner and I got both, but on the same night. I keep trying and can't get them on different nights. So assuming I have to give one up, which one???? Here is plan so far:

11/3 - Arrival day
5:20 Garden Grill dinner

11/4 - MK and Wishes Cruise
11:15 1900 PF Brunch OR
try for 4:30 1900 PF walk up - any chance??

11/5 - AK
5:35 Tusker House dinner

11/6 - EP
7:40am Cape May Breakfast
F&W lunch
Biergarted OR Cape May Crab Buffet - which one??

11/7 MK RD
11:10am - 1900 PF Brunch or CS lunch
CS dinner

11/8
5:05 Ohana
OR
5:50 1900 PF
HELP!!!!

My personal opinion is to do Ohana. I thought the entertainment was good at Park Fare, but we saw the same characters in MK (except for Prince Charming) The food there was horrible. I thought it was dry and not good at all. It really disappointed me. Ohana was good and the kids had a lot of fun. They kept them entertained. It was a lot of food as well. If you go there, go HUNGRY.

Unless DD5 is totally in to Cinderella, I think I'd do Ohana. Ohana is a great place with great food for the whole family.

You already have 1900 PF for brunch (I'd do that on the 7th, by the way, to make your first MK day a little more relaxed), and even though Cindy isn't there, you do have Pooh, Tigger, and Mary Poppins which might appeal more to DS as well as DD.

As for Biergarten and Cape May, I would keep Biergarten since the kids loved it before. It could become your family tradition. Besides you're eating at Cape May that morning, and the kids may wonder why the characters are not there if you go back that same night.
