Advice and Suggestions on Itinerary

[AnOtHeRdIsNeYfReAk]

Alright, here is my tentative itinerary. I would welcome any advice! We will be staying at Pop Century, using the dining plan, and together there will be my parents, a 4 year old, 10 year old, and myself. Sometimes the 10 year old is a picky eater so we may just share a meal or buy hers out of pocket and "bank" her TS credit. Since she's technically an adult I don't think it should be a problem, ie.. adult using adult credit.

April 26th Wend: Flight arrives at 2pm. Use magical express. Dinner at Fulton's Crab House or Rainforest Cafe (DD) or California Grill if I can get an early ADR. When I called they only had a late opening. Any suggestions for Dinner???

April 27th Thus: 10am ADR for the Crystal Palace. Spend the day at Mk, Hop to epcot if it gets too crowded. (Its MK's Extra Magic Morning Hour) Spectromagic at 9 Wishes at 10 if we stay. I will try to get an ADR for dinner at 1900 Park Fare (around 5 or 6)if I am able to get tickets for La Nouba on May 1st.

April 28th Fri: Spend day at Animal Kingdom. 640pm ADR for Boma at the Animal Kingdom Lodge

April 29th Sat: A day Devoted to Epcot. Lunch at 1230 at the Garden Grill, Then a 630pm ADR at Biergaten. Illuminations at 9.

April 30th Sun: Spend day at MGM. ADR at Mama Melrose's at 6pm, but will try to secure an ADR at The Hollywood Brown Derby earlier (Perhaps at 4:30 or 5pm) Fantasmic at 8:30.

May 1st Mon: Split the day between Typhoon Lagoon and Downtown Disney. ADR at 1900 Park Fare in the Grand Floridian, but will reconsider if I'm able to get tickets to La Nouba.

May 2nd Tues: Another day at the Magic Kingdom. ADR's at 1900 Park Fare at 9am, Ohana at 5:45pm. Wishes at 9.

May 3rd Wend: Sleep in a bit. Let the kids swim at the resort. Epcot later in the day. ADR's at 12:30 for Coral Reef, 8:30 at Le Cellier.(I'm still trying to get an earlier one for about 7)

May 4th Thurs: Downtown Disney or Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach in the am. Lunch at Rainforest Cafe. Magic Kingdom later on. ADR at 7:15pm at the Liberty Tree Inn.

May 5th Fri: Flight leaves at 2pm. Pick up any extra items we forgot to purchase, and be back for Magical Express at 10:30am.

So... any and all comments are whole heartedly welcome!!! Thanks a bunch

Order the tickets to Cirq before hand. Instead of having lunch at the Rainforest, try Earl of Sandwich. You will not be dissapointed. Oh and the thing about sleeping in....You can do that at home. Your at Disney...

Just a quick review of your ADRS and although it is late and I am sleepy, I am trying to figure if you will have enough TS credits for all those meals(unless you are paying out of pocket for those beyond what the DDP covers...if so, then never mind the following :] )

I know you mentioned paying OOP for your 10 yr old, but since many of your ADRs are for buffets, I think you would still be charged the adult buffet rate(which is steep for many of your choices considering you already pd $37.99 for her 1TS, 1 CS and snack for the day anyway)

I'm sure you will get posts from others more versed in the Dining Plan than I, so perhaps I need to just get to bed!!

My other thought was that unless you absolutely must see 1900 Park Fare twice, try a different character meal for breakfast on 5/2...perhaps Ohana for breakfast instead of dinner??

Again, just one person's opinion. I'm sure many more will follow...
