AK...Dinner...La Nouba

[Haygar2]

I am hoping someone can give me their opinion. The more I think about this the more confused I get. I keep going back and forth. Okay...the day we are at AK we are going to Boma for dinner. Since AK closes early (well, earlier than the other parks) we are going to La Nouba that same evening. I am trying to figure out what, logistically, makes the most sense. We will be using our own car, so waiting on Disney transportation is NOT a factor.

Option #1:

AK all day.
Leave AK around 4:00 and go straight to Boma for a 4:45 ADR.
Back to our resort (WL) to take showers and clean up for La Nouba.
9:00 show

Option #2:
AK all day
Leave AK around 4:00 and go back to our resort for showers/clean up.
6:30 Boma ADR
9:00 show

Option #3:
AK all day
Leave AK around 3:00 and go back to clean up
6:00 show
8:30 dinner at Boma

At some point, any/all of these seems to make the most sense. Then I start over thinking it. If I could have some "fresh eyes" look at my plans and give me an opinion that would be great. Thanks all!!

Do you have children who would not be able to wait until later to eat dinner? What/when will you have eaten during the day?

We have done option 3 both times we have been to La Nouba - we have eaten at a place in Downtown Disney rather than a resort afterwards though. To me, it probably wouldn't make sense to go BACK to AK (Lodge) for dinner after you've been to Downtown Disney (unless, of course, you are staying there) so if you're determined to eat at Boma that night, I would go for option 1 or 2.

I like #2. Eating at Boma and heading to bed does not sit well with me. Freshening up after a day at the park is nice, relax at dinner, take in Cirque, head back to your resort.

I think option 2 would be the best out the three because you don't want to be sitting at La Nouba starving and you will be nice and fresh so can wander round DTD if you want.

Sorry, my kids will be 15 & 11 when we go. We will eat throughout the day while we are at AK. I figured option 1 or 2 would be smarter. But I threw in option 3. We really want to eat at Boma and that is the only day we can. Everything else is accounted for dinnerwise. Lol. I just can't figure out if it makes sense to be at AK, go back to WL,, back to AKL,.and then on to DTD. Or, would it make the most sense, since we are so close, to eat right after AK.

I vote for option 2. It makes more sense to play at the park, clean up, have dinner and watch the show. La Nouba is awesome!!
