Did I make enough ADR's?

[Willowtrees]

Here is what I made this morning
first day arrival via plane at 4:10
day 2 - Ohana breakfast, Boma diner
day 3 - Teppanayaki dinner
day 4 - Hollywood brown derby/fantasmic
day 5 - Hoop de doo - (made a while ago)
day 6 - Going to Universal Orlando for a day
day 7 - Disney Quest - did not make any for this day, should I
day 8 - California grill dinner
day 9 - Ohana dinner
day 10 - planning on going to typhoon lagoon around 2/2:30, no reservations made anywhere.
day 11 - La Cellier dinner
day 12 - depart

I guess we are planning on just going wherever for the rest of the times.
Should I make a lunch reservation or any other dinners or does sound appropriate? THanks for your help

I think it looks good. You don't want to over book yourself. Plus, some of the counter service places (Tusker House comes to mind) have full meals you just gotta go get them. Have fun!!!!

Will you be on the Dining Plan? If yes, than I personally would make one ADR for a TS for each day. I would hate to have pre paid for a sit down meal and then not be able to use it because everything is full. You are going in a slower time of year (November) so maybe you will be fine. Since you are going to HDDR and this will be 2 TS, that could cover your Universal Day.
I would make a late ADR for your arrival day. You need to allow several hours from scheduled landing time to your ADR. You didn't mention if you would be using Disney's Magical Express or not. If you are you could go to your resort and check in, leave your carry ons in your room, freshen up a bit and then head out for a nice meal. Your luggage should be delivered to your return by the time you return from dinner. We are always hungry and tired from travelling, and we like a nice meal to start our vacation. You didn't mention where you are staying, but I would try to eat near my resort, if possible. A nice choice for arrival night would be the Kona Cafe at the Poly.
I think the choices you have made look wonderful. I wish I was going with you
Enjoy your trip.

I am on the dining plan, staying at Pop Century and yes using Magical Express. For the arrival day we are not on the dining plan - we had to add an additional one day room only as it was cheaper to fly out a day earlier than we planned. So what would be a good TS or counter meal that is not too expensive near Pop? We are still trying to decide what to do thzt first day, as our plane arrives at like 4:10 on a Saturday.

Willowtree. Have a wonderful trip!! May I suggest. Downtown Disney. On arrival day. It is wonderful. And from what I hear, maybe House of blues would be a great dinner to start. Not expensive, but great food. Check out allearsnet.com. For menus, and pricing. If that is not to you, or your families liking. There are several other places to pick from. I know whatever you pick. You will have a wonderful time!!!

Maybe sit down for breakfast or early lunch on day 7 or 10? Personally, I would have an ADR for all your TS credits-it looks like you have 6 in your party? Or if you're going w/in-laws maybe they would want to go out to eat alone (or vice versa).

We had 7 in our party and last time (we were on the meal plan) we couldn't sit down without an ADR (actually HAD to break up just to use the TS credits).

I did the math and it looks like you do have all your TS used up (actually one extra) because of the dinner show, and the two signature dining experiences. In that case I think your plans look great- not too overbooked.
As for your first night, I'd say either head to downtown disney and do Wolfgang Puck's or Earl of Sandwhich, or stay at Pop, swim and relax with dinner at the food court. If you want a sit-down, then downtown disney would be your best choice- look at menus and see what you want.
Have a great trip!

Thanks everyone - I also forgot but I wanted to plan a night out just me and my husband, so I need to squeeze that in somewhere - I was thinking of us going to pleasure Island - would you all reccomend that as the best adult romantic night out?

I think that your ADRs are good. You can go to the Earl of Sandwich on the day that you go to DisneyQuest. DBF and I did that and we found that it was a nice break from spending 50-60 bucks at a time at our other ADRs. 13.22 for 2 sandwiches, shared a bag of chips and shared a medium drink ( it was refilliable..) can't beat that. plus the sandwiches are amazing!!!
