Eat only at F&W or make ADRs?

[MinnesotaChill]

We are traveling with another couple, sans kids, to F&W this year for the first time. We will be there Sat - Wed am, staying a BWV.

Should I make a few ADRs, or will there be enough to keep us full at the various stations at EPCOT? We've all been to Disney many, many times, so there's no pressing need to "see" anything, except maybe Expedition Everest. Thinking about Raglan Road and also Boma for brunch. I've had adrs at Boma twice now and we've had such big dinners the night before we're never hungry!

We frequently go out to fine dining establishments with this couple, and we all love wine, but I am wondering if four days will get to be too much and if I should plan to do some other things as well. We really enjoy all types of food.

We DO plan to attend Party for the Senses if I can get tickets. I am well known for watching, watching, watching and then forgetting to watch when the reservations can be made!

We joined a group of DISers last year to make the circuit of F&W booths one morning around 11 AM. We ALMOST made it all the way around, and I was sampling everything that sounded good. I was STUFFED. Unfortunately DH wasn't sampling much of anything so he wanted to go eat LUNCH afterwards! UGH!

I would see if you can plan to eat at the booths for maybe one lunch and one dinner and make ADRs or do CS for the others. I wouldn't have wanted to eat at the booths for 4 days in a row because there were only certain things at each booth that appealed to me. I could have gone back for seconds of the things I really enjoyed, but probably not a third or fourth time. Have fun!

We usually end up having dinner at one of the nice restaurants. It is nice to have a break from standing in line for your food, and the AC is welcome by dinner time.

Just depends on what you are used to.

I would defiantly make some ADRs so you at least have them - you can always cancel. F&W is also during free dining, so if you decide you want to eat at a TS restaurant, the chances of you getting a table without ADRs will be slim.

I couldn't eat just from the booths the entire time. For one, it's $$$$. Some samples are literally 2 bites worth for $4. That adds up quick! Some booths only have 2-3 items and only 1 may appeal to you so you may run short of things to try.

We did 1 meal just at the booths - a lunch. The rest of our trip, we ate regular meals and used the booths as snacks. Our regular meal may have been splitting 2 entrees between the 3 of us but it was something. The AC and comfortable seat is welcome, too, since you usually end up standing while you take the few bites.

You can always cancel our reservation =)

I do the same as Aimeedyan...DH and I hit a few booths and share stuff as "lunch" and then we always go to a nice dinner. Having a nice sitdown dinner at WDW is very important to me. I gotta do it almost every night of my stay.

Oh, and ya GOTTA DO PftS! We did it last year and are going again this year, it is awesome!`

I would make a few ADRs as well. just in case. Eating the booths at F&W can get expensive. If you do not want to make a ressie a good CS is Tangerine Cafe or China has ok food too.
