DxDDP - What time for lunch and dinner?

[Pezalicious]

Hi,

I'm just a few days away from my 180 days out and will soon be making all our dining reservations. I was wondering if anyone had any advice about what times to choose when doing 2 sit-down restaurants in a day (we don't like breakfast)?

I was thinking we would do the first seating for lunch, to avoid crowds and to cut down on the wait for a table. If we do that, what would be the ideal time for dinner? If we don't eat an early dinner, can the wait for a table be bad, even with ADRs?

Thanks!!

May I ask - if you don't like b-fast, why did you choose the DxDDP? If you eliminate one meal like this, 3 credits a day seems like a lot. Are you planning on Signature dining?

I wouldn't rule out b-fast. To me that means vacation. Also, if you book CP at MK for 8a, reservation you get into the park before everyone else.

We're planning on eating at a lot of the Signature restaurants, plus we tend to be late night snackers. With the restaurants we've chosen, we only have 2 credits left by the end of our trip, and we might use those up with pizza delivery.

As for breakfast, we don't like waking up early enough to add that to our day, and we like the food choices for lunch and dinner much better. For us, grabbing a banana on the way out the door is a good breakfast. It's also another reason we plan to eat early for lunch.

What I would recommend is that you do an early lunch table service (TS) and then schedule a later dinner (perhaps around 7/7:30ish...if no children then later is ok too!!).

FYI...you can use your snack credits in the am for some breakfasty items in the food courts & counter service places (like danish) and since you will have the refillable mugs, if you require morning coffee/tea...you can get that from the food court as well.

You might want to try the signature restaurants...those require 2 TS or a couple of the dinner shows...we love Hoop De Doo Review...and depending on our airfare, was thinking about Polynesian Luau (both require 2 TS). Additionally, if you want the experience of eating in Cinderella's Castle and don't have children (or even if you do...we have DD6 and are doing this)...schedule a dinner!!! The Cinderella Castle Dinner requires 2TS as well.

I hope this helps.
