Advice on resies

We are doing the dining plan and this is what I hope to get so far.....
HS-D-mama melrose
MK-B-crystal palace D-chef mickey's
MK-D-be our guest
EP-B-Ohaha A
K-B-Donald's safari
MK-L-whispering canyon cafe
MK-B-1900 park fare

We are flying in on Saturday nov 9, 2013, and need to figure out where to eat for dinner. I was planning on going to MK for a while that evening BUT I read something about MK and EP being super busy bc of the Epcot marathon, and "jersey week". Any ideas?
I am trying to do as many character meals as I can so I don't have to wait in line to see them in the parks with my 18 mth old. We are staying at Old Key West.

You've covered many of the character meals, especially out of the parks. If you don't want to go into EP or MK on Saturday night since they will likely be busy, then what about 1900 Park Fare for dinner instead of the breakfast you already have. Of course, the characters change to Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine & step sisters, so that might not fit for your little one. Or, perhaps you can just choose a meal that you might enjoy instead. Or maybe go to Downtown Disney or Hollywood Studios to see Fantasmic at 6:30 and then eat dinner in HS.

Our DDs first trip was at 2.5 years and she only remembers what she has seen in pictures. We loaded her up with character meals at 3.5 and she remembers a little bit of it. But, it really wasn't until 5+ that she truly remembers all the character dining. Now at 8, she just tells us where she wants to eat (Akershus, Chef Mickey's, Tusker House, +BOG now) and we can skip the rest and eat at the best Disney restaurants instead.

Good Luck and have a magical trip!
