ADR stress!!!

[DisneyCrazyX5]

I am at 112 days.
Background
We have the dining plan and our family is mom (me), dad and 3 sons (9-turning 10 during trip and 5 year old twins). I know I need an ADR for CRT, but we plan on the rest of our table service meals to be dinner. Our oldest son does not eat like a kid, so I am looking for kid meals that are not just chicken nuggets and hot dogs. The boys are not picky eaters and love shrimp, chicken. pizza...

Question
Do I need to make ADR's for every dinner? I never have in the past (other. Nov. trips), but with the dinning plan I am a bit worried.
Any advise or opinions. Restaurant choices?

Janell, I would definitely make at least one ADR per day. I like the comfort of knowing that we will always have a seat at a nice meal without a huge wait. You can always cancel them or try to change the times once you get there, but as a rule of thumb and with this huge promotion going on I would say it's better to be safe than sorry. One suggestion I would make is to try dinner at Ohana if your boys aren't picky eaters and your oldest doesn't like the normal "kid meals". Check out www.allearsnet.com for menus. The food is delicious there and there is a beautiful view from the restaurant! It is one of our favorites and always at the top of our list each trip!

Whispering Canyon is another good choice! They have a regular menu, but they also offer a skillet meal which is served family style and has a good selection of food. BTW...not everyone at the table has to order this if they do not wish to. Plus...if you've never been, WCC is a fun place to eat, especially for kids!!!!

Ohana's has made our maybe list. Since we are staying at the Contemporary it would be a very easy estaurant for us to get to. I have printed out most of the menues from AllEars. The restaurant at Cananda also sounds good to my son, but our list of maybe restaurants is too long and alot of them are in EPCOT. We want an Italian restaurant (which one) CRT, Crystal Palace, and Chef Mickeys for breakfast on our last day.
Thanks for any help.

If you have never been to Ohana's I really think you guys would enjoy it and the food is delicious and plentiful! As far as Italian goes....our favorite is Mama Melrose at MGM. We usually do the Fantasmic Dinner Package through that restaurant.
