I called today when my window opened. I called around 9:00 and got into Chef Mickey, but not at the ideal breakfast time, Cinderella was already booked for breakfast and lunch, so I took a dinner.
Hoop Dee Doo had everything open. I booked that, too.
My kids are 2 and 5. They don't know if they're missing something, so I won't tell them.
I do hate that you can't get into a good restaurant on the spur of the moment. I might just drive outside the Kingdom for some dinners and cook others on the grill.
There's too much stress involved with lots of reservations. You can't just have fun and eat when it's convenient.
I'll just pretend those other restaurants aren't there, and not worry about it.
My kids should be very happy with all the things they DO get to do. I will not wait in huge lines for some activity for them. That time can be spent doing something fun.
If Disney doesn't want to increase capacity for the really popular stuff, then I'll leave that to others to fight for. It's not worth it to me.
