Free Dining ADRs Remorse - HELP!

[jennapens]

I booked my ADRs last week (for Sept trip), and I was just going over my plan again. What in the world was I thinking?

Sat - nothing scheduled
Sun - Concourse Steakhouse - dinner
Mon - Crystal Palace - breakfast
Tues - Whispering Canyon Cafe - late lunch (DH's birthday lunch)
Wed - 50s Prime Time Cafe - dinner
Thurs - Chef Mickey's - breakfast

I didn't realize that I booked so many Magic Kingdom area restaurants. I don't want to waste my trip being on a bus because I have to get back to the Magic Kingdom pretty much everyday. The 50s Prime Time Cafe is the only one that's away from MK.

I want to try new things, things I wouldn't try if I didn't have the free dining. However, DH thinks differently. He's picky. I wanted to do Teppanyaki, he didn't like that idea. I wanted to try one of the restaurants at Animal Kingdom lodge. Dh=nope! Get the idea. I don't know what to do. We definitely have to do Whispering Canyon, Crystal Palace, and the Concourse (okay, I could go either way on the Concourse, but DH really likes it). Any other suggestions away from the Magic Kingdom. We are trying to do a breakfast on Thursday, because it's our last day there, and we don't want a big meal later in the day. We also have a $15 credit to Planet Hollywood, but I'm not sure if we are going to use that or not.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I hate having to try to plan this so early, but I'm afraid if we don't, we won't get what we want!

Remember that Epcot and Magic Kingdom are both on the monorail. You could spend the day at Epcot and ride the monorail over to your adr's.I do know how you feel. I am trying to plan mine for Jan. with the least amount of travel time.

I too know how you feel. I feel like I am missing something:


Sat- no TS, we arrive late
Sun- Le Cellier, lunch
Mon- no TS
Tues- California Grill, dinner
Wed- no TS
Thurs- Princess Norway, lunch; Mama Melrose, dinner for F!
Fri- Coral Reef, dinner
Sat- CRT, dinner
Sun- Chef Mickey, dinner
Mon- Crystal Palace, dinner


Three buffets seems like an awful lot but the kids really enjoy the character dining and not having to wait in line to their favorites. I am also a little concerned about having 2 sit down meals in one day.

Here's mine. I've already changed 3 times, and I swear I'm sticking with these!

Fri.-Coral Reef (dinner)
Sat.-Liberty Tree Tavern (lunch, gotta have the crab cakes!)
Sun.-Concourse Steakhouse (dinner)
Mon.-Mama Melrose's (dinner, it's my birthday and I love this place no matter what anyone else says)
Tue.-Le Cellier (late Dinner)
Wed.-Planet Hollywood (lunch)
Thurs.-Rose & Crown (lunch, not my favorite, but DH loves it)
Fri.-Nine Dragons (dinner)

OMG, looking at it now, does it seem like I have too many Epcot places?! Just kidding, I'm going to live with these and quit stressing over it.
