Advice on Crystal Palace + BOG: PPO breakfast + late lunch vs. late breakfast + early dinner?

[Eddie512]

ADR day is 5 days! Trying to decide on ADR's for July 5th (I'm hoping MK will be a little less crowded after fireworks on the 3rd and 4th!!! wishful thinking???) Anyway I'm torn between 1. a PPO breakfast at CP (looks like MK will open at 9 that day...and I would cancel if they moved it to 8!!) w/ a late lunch at BOG OR 2. CP breakfast as late as I can get it (10:30, 10:45 ish??) and dinner at BOG. There are pros and cons for each! Pros for #1: I think we'd like the food better on both counts, and it will be somewhat cheaper; cons: My group may be dragging as this is our 3rd day in the parks, and we will miss the beast. OOTH, #2 pros would be an extra hour of sleep and getting to see the beast at dinner, but I wonder if having to stop what we're doing and head to CP around 10:30 would mess w/ prime touring time. Never been to either restaurant and would love some input!!!

Lunch is the best meal of the day at BOG.

Is there a reason you're not considering an early BOG lunch and CP dinner?

Just price, as we are not doing the dining plan. Dinner is 43$ vs. 25$ for breakfast at CP. I will think on it, thanks!!!

The crowds on July 5th will be less than the 3rd & 4th but still massive.
The MK will definitely open at 8, if not 7 based on history.

Agree with @Hopefully. MK will open at 8 or earlier, and there will be no PPO.
