Advice on dining strategy

[Jokiho]

Ok so my sister and I will be at DLR the last weekend in April. That's a Friday and Saturday. We are WDW Vets, both adults. we only have two days. I'll have Maxpass.

We want to time eating at optimal timetimess given our shot stay. For example, we wouldn't do table service for breakfast because we'd try to hit up as much rides as possible before lunch.

I heard crowds in DLR are fierce in the afternoon and lines would be long. So I figured a late lunch. Is has smart reasoning?

I have reservations for Carthay on Friday at 8:30. Figured

I wanted to fit in BB the next day, but we'll see. Couldn't get a F! BB Slot but ended up with RBT at 7. My sis wants to see F! so that's pretty much a given. I'm thinking two table services are too much for the day, especially with only two days. Your thoughts?

Sacrifices will certainly be made. Rides very similar to WDW will not be a priority (but I'm irritated about the POTC) closure. We're also the type that prefer prefers a good balance of taking in environment (relaxing, drinks, eating good food, good wine, shopping) rather than just focusing on rides.

I think a late lunch is a great plan. Like 1:30 or 2:00 or so. Keep checking for a BB Fantasmic reservation if that is what you prefer. I was able to find one once just two days before my visit by checking several times a day. As you get closer to your trip, people will cancel and their plans change. Definitely check about 24-36 hours before the day you’re looking at as people will cancel within this timeframe to avoid the cancellation fee of $10/person.

Thank you for the response- when checking bb, did you call or were you checking the website?

I was checking on the website. I just kept checking multiple times a day until something popped up. It was an off time (4pm) but that might work well for you and you never know what time might come up!
