ADR Troubles - Need Advice!

[Minnie0107]

I have not made any changes but I have that nagging feeling that I should try! When I made My ADRs I just took what I could get, which ended up being two TS on one day. Here my ressies:
Sept 21 - Wolfgang Puck Cafe at 5:30
22 - Coral Reef at 1:00 and then Boma at 8:30
23 - using two CS at MGM
24 - WCC at 8:00
25 - Ohana at 6:30

I was fine with arrangement but now I am sacred about the coral reef lunch and the two CS at MGM (since they are not known for their CS restaurants). Our dilemma is that we want to watch Fantsmic at MGM but we do not really like any of the TS restaurants in MGM, so we thought we would just hang around and eat another CS meal. By the way it is me and my husband 25 and my sister 20 so we usually stay at the parks all day. Help! Should I keep it like it is or try to change it to Coral Reef for dinner and then a TS the night we go to MGM.

We're going to be there from the 14th till the 22nd, and you might find that if you make a call to dining, your decision will be made for you...
I had to make some changes because we added my SIL to our vacation. I could NOT get anything for Coral Reef the whole week, except lunch.

JMO, but I think what you have sounds good. The lunch menu at Coral Reef is pretty good, and your dinner that night is late enough that you'll be hungry again. TS in MGM isn't wonderful, so the 2 CS might also be a good idea. We ate a few CS places in MGM and liked them.

Whatever you decide....good luck and enjoy your trip!

MGM is not that far from the Boardwalk. Would you be willing to leave the park for a couple of hours before Fantasmic to eat there? Spoodles and the Big River Grill are really good restaurants. Travel time to the Boardwalk is about 15-20 depending if you take the boat or walk.

For the 22nd I don't think it is so bad to have two TS on one day. Especially since there is a large time span between them. You will definitely be hungry again by 8:30. If money is the concern then perhaps you could eat at Cantina de San Angel, CS at Mexico. It is very yummy and inexpensive.

Minnie,
Do you have park hoppers?? If so. I would pick another resteraunt to go to on fantasmic day. I dont eat at all in MGM, (after a 50's lackluster meal, last year, it is off my wants) other than snacks. So what I would do is eat a breakfast, at my hotel to tide me over. Have a snack at mgm, and then go for an early dinner. Around 4 or 5, then hightail it back over to see fantasmic. Enjoy your trip!
