Feedback/ help on ADRs and park schedule

[hdmichael]

Hi,

We will be in WDW in a couple of weeks, and I have spent the last few weeks planning our schedule and booking our ADRs. Does this sound doable and tasty? (I know that I will need to be flexible with the scheduling.) I have a few overlapping ADRs (my travel agent and I both booked some without realizing that) and could use some input into which to keep or ditch. We will have a car, but DH is working Saturday through Tuesday, so we will only have three for lunches on those days. Also, there are four of us: two adults and two 13 year olds. We will be splitting several meals- two picky teens and one adult who can't afford to gain weight (me). We are on the DxDDP and have a total of 7 days of 3 TS per person= 21 TS per person X 4 adults= 84 TS credits total?

10/23

looks like a lot of travel time to me. but, if staying in the parks all day is not a priority, then you've done well!

on your last day in epcot you say 2 people are eating at the princess storybook lunch for 4TS credits. this is a 1TS credit meal. just fyi!!

Just fyi~the only way we got away with splitting meals was at CS. If the kids were with at a TS they didn't allow us to 'split' a meal. Maybe that has changed since we have been there. Now I suppose you could order and if someone ate off your plate they really can't do much....

Thanks so much for your feedback. I try to leave the parks at 2:00 or 3:00 because everyone (but me- I am strictly commando when we travel anywhere) gets grumpy without a break. I did wonder about the traveling and the late ADR times, but DH really likes a 2 hour nap in the late afternoon. Do you have any suggestions for cutting back on travel time?

I will fix the 4 TS mistake.
Once again, thanks.

I thought I read somewhere on the boards that TS could be split except at buffets and specialty events, except that there were some questions regarding Via Napoli-can't split individual pizzas, but not sure about larger pizzas. Did I misunderstand?
