I think over all it looks pretty good. I see on one day you have 2 character meals planned, would you consider breaking them up??

On Day Three, skip Hungry bear, and do Bengal BBQ instead. In fact, steer clear of Hungry Bear. Long lines, and horrible food. That was one thing our whole party agreed on during our last trip (me, my mom and my husband.) I am not picky either.

Day four, I would substitute Carnation Cafe for breakfast. I have never been to Minnie's, but I have been to Carnation and it's delicious. I'm guessing it will cost less too.

Everything else sounds great! Are you staying on property?

Actually, we were going to go there for dinner, I didnt realize it was another character meal. Hmm, might have to rethink that one. Too many character meals in one day could be a little much...I would think.

YES!! We went to both on our first trip 2 years ago!! We did Minnies for breakfast on our very first day in DL, kicking off our trip with some excitement! We loved it and cant wait to do it again!

Storyteller's Cafe is only a character meal during Breakfast. So you are fine for dinner. It won't be characters, but they will still offer the buffet as well as ordering off the menu. Really, really good corn chowder.

I would also suggest a meal at Carnation Cafe on Main Street. Maybe lunch on your last day? I would think it would be much more special than the Jazz Kitchen.

Looks good to me. I'd stick with Minnie's for breakfast on Thursday; it's a character meal with a lot of fun interaction, where Carnation cafe is not-- although it does have good breakfast!

I like that you interspersed counter service with PS meals. Thursday is the only day that you do two PS's. I've seen some meal plans with 3 sit-downs a day, and that seems too excessive to me. We found that we weren't that hungry while there-- a light meal or snack is all we wanted for some of our meals.

For your wild card meal, have you considered Plaza Inn. It is not character for dinner, but it is very good and very filling.
