Dinner time

[Isila]

In my dining plan I have restaurant des stars and Buzz lightyear pizza - both in parks, so can be only when parks are open. What times would you suggest? Late lunch/early dinner?

 

[HappyPanda]

We are going the 12th-16th March!

We're planning to both of these restuarants too, our thinking is having a big breakfast and then going for a late lunch to hopefully avoid the crowds of the 'normal' lunch time period. We'll probably end up going around 3.30/4pm.

This will hopefully help me to get over not being able to go to our usual haunt, Annette's!

 

[Isila]

we'll be there at same time we're going 15-21 March

 

[Bastia]

I think that these restaurants are not open for dinner in March

 

[Isila]

really?
it will be fine if they are open for lunch

I would imagine that none of those restaurants will be open after around 3.30pm, best to check before making any plans.

most table/buffet service restaurants inside the parks close much earlier than the parks do.

 

[Isila]

so we should be fine doing lunch around 12-13?

And what about plaza gardens?

And on weekends parks are open a litlle bit longer, right?

 

[DLPdaft]

Plaza Gardens is sometimes open later than lunchtime, sometimes not. Best idea is to make a plan of what time you'd like to eat and where, then call the Disney dining reservations line and check with them that all of those times and venues are available when you want them.

For lunch no problem , for dinner you can go in the Disney Village or in the Resort

I'm not sure when and where yet, planned make reservations in hotel with consierge.
Last year plan lunch 11.30-12.00 and dinner 17.30-18.00 paid off very well, so I tought do the same this time too. But it doesn't seem it's going to work out - 4 of my 6 planned restaurants are in parks (plaza gardens, agrabah cafe, buzz lightyear pizza, restaurant des stars).
I'm confused now...
Should call DLP...

Park side dinner and Mickey's cafe are planned. What else? Buffet service would be the best

 

[Bastia]

For me the best buffet is Inventions in DLHbut i like too The Hunter grill in SL

 

[Isila]

I had my mind set on Inventions, but after counting the budget I decided to go for Mickeys's cafe. Inventions ir priced highly, so need a cheeper option.

Maybe Annettes will be open. Rainforest cafe is also an option - I did like it last year.

What's worth trying in other hotels?

 

[Bastia]

Inventions is very price higly

In Disney village , i like Rainforest and Steak House

In hotels , Manathan in NY, and Hunter Grill in SL or Yacht Club in NPBC.

 

[Isila]

will add Rainforest cafe to my list (again). And go check other restaurant menus. Buffet would be the best - got to picky eaters

 

[Bastia]

You search buffet , for dinner ? in this situation you have choice in SL and NPBC.

 

[Isila]

Thanks, will check on those too. Will make two plans and decide after first day in parks. Will see how it goes and when kids feel to eat.

Thanks for suggestions and all your help
