I still have a month until I can make them, but ADR's have taken over my brain! So, I've done the research on busiest days, etc.. and planned my days to offset if possible. We're on DxDP, so I had a lot to plan! NOW... how do you guys go about making backup choices? Ex. if I have my breakfast, lunch, and dinner planned around a MK day, and I can't get CP when for breakfast that day, should I just try to switch the day to my DHS day, or have a backup planned for each meal? Some I really want, the character breakfasts mostly, lunch I can deal with a second choices, and some dinners I can deal with a second choice... I have Park Hoppers, but don't really want to waste time with that for breakfast! Thanks!:worship:

I had back up meals planned, but surprisingly I got my first choice on everything with a li'l time variance.

Good luck, I had a great time plannin' for the DxDP, have fun with it. :teeth:
 
It is lots of fun, but I am so clueless on what to do for backups. For example, if I try to book the hard ones, Ohana, CRT, Chef Mickey, and its' not available in my time frame, will they tell me when it is available during my stay? That's when all the switching around will occur. I feel like I am okay with breakfasts, we want a character every morning, so I have some flexibility to work around, and lunch has a back up in each park as our second choice, it's dinner and the hard to gets that worry me!

Ask for the hardest to get first, then if it's not available, have your 2nd choice ready to request.
And I found those CMs extremely helpful in trying to make everything as they say...magical. pixiedust:
 

After I check the park hours and what parks will be the busiest, I will have my plans ready...actually, I will have 2 plans ready to go for when I call. I am willing to flip flop a couple but...I need them the way I will have them planned...so I am praying that I will be able to get them..
