ADR Timing

[FFMickey]

I have two ADR's for Nov 20th. I have a 7:00 at Cape May Cafe and a 9:00 at Beaches and Cream for for some sundaes. Is that enough time to eat at Cape May and have a little time before Beaches, or should I try and get an earlier dinner reservation? TIA

I would do them on 2 different days. Cape May is a buffet so I couldn't imagine being hungry for sundaes an hour later. Even with a Cape May reservation at opening I still wouldn't want sundaes the same night.

Good point. We'll have to do it another time. Thanks for the input. We might just do it earlier in the day on our check out.

I agree. I cannot imagine wanting sundaes after Cape May. That just sounds miserable.

But if you really want to do both in the same night, I would space them out more. I wouldn't plan on being out of Cape May before 8:30.

Beaches and Cream is well themed and a difficult ADR to get. I too believe that an earlier buffet time might be too much food. But if this is where you want to go, adjust your dinner plans for a lighter meal.

On the other hand, if your real desire is Cape May for seafood buffet, as others have mentioned - why spend extra for dessert?

But if you must - Fountain inside Dolphin is about 1/2 mile stroll to other side of Boardwalk and might give enough time to walk-off a buffet dinner. While Fountain is not well themed, the ice cream may be a bit better. Fountain has option of table/counter service or take-a-way. Of course, there is ice cream along the Boardwalk too, albeit, without table service.

Those are great ideas. We might just a stroll around the Boardwalk and if we want to get ice cream, we'll get some. I just heard about Beaches and Cream, but it's not a must do for us....this trip. Gives me a good reason to go back again
