Dining/FP Dilemma

[RAPstar]

I was playing around with my FP options last night and happened upon an 8:40pm FP for the 7 Dwarfs ride. Only problem is, I already have an Ohana reservation at 7:55pm What do I do? I also have a 7:25am Chef Mickey that same day (I've never been to it, but I have been to Ohana about 3 years ago). I only have one day to spend at Disney. Here are a few options I have already, unless I can find an earlier time for either Ohana or the mine train.

1) Cancel CM and Ohana, do 4:15pm Park Fare (I have it saved just in case, and I wouldn't want to do 2 character buffets on the same day)
2) Cancel FP and keep what I have
3) get to Ohana early and cross my fingers

The only plus side to option one is that I'd also get to see the new fireworks. Thanks for any advice!

When is your trip? Have you tried the Touring Plans reservation finder?

The one day I have at Disney is 9/18. Do you have to have a subscription to use it, cause I think mine just expired.

Yes you need a subscription.

Can you RD 7DMT?

I"m trying to figure out how you managed to book two dinner reservations around the same time like that, I thought that loophole was closed. At any rate unless you dying to see the characters, chef mickeys is insanely priced and the food is terrible. Ohana would certainly win out on that count. Odds of getting into Ohana early. I'd say not very good, even with a reservation they usually 30 minutes late. Assuming park is open till 10pm, I would say just do dinner then go back to park for close and ride mine train with hopefully short wait by then. But you would need an ohana more like 725 to pull it off.

That was my original plan to RD 7D and Peter Pan

Sorry, I meant to say CM was a 7:25am, not pm lol

Keep both dining reservations and do 7D first thing in morning. Mid September you should be fine.

Even when it's sandwiched between 2 MNSSHP nights? That's my only real worry. I mean it's only a 5 on the TP crowd calendar, but still. Hi, I'm a constant worrier lol.
