Gotta Lose At Least one ADR

[Jules76126]

I can understand not wanting to miss out on anything. But that is a lot of food. If you are already doing CRT than I would drop Akershu. The food is not that great and you will already be seeing the princess. I personally like Via Napoli and if you are paying OOP for that one, it won't be bad cost wise. Yak and Yeti isn't worth an ADR. The QS option is great. I also think that CP is a huge time suck, but if you plan to go to the MK on more than one morning, it may be fine. I personally can't eat that much food, but you know your family best. No matter what you drop, you will have a great time.

I would definitely agree with canceling Akershus...the princesses are a nice feature, but with older kids, the quality of the food (in my opinion) is just not good enough to justify the price!

I would drop Via Napoli. It is very loud and we did not enjoy eating there. Maybe you could pack some cereal bars or granola bars for breakfast a few days and use the credits from pop breakfast and get quick serve at AK instead of Yak and Yeti table service.

I agree with the others that have said Akershus. The food choices aren't the greatest, it is loud and chaotic and if your kids (or you) aren't crazy about meeting the princesses the morning would probably be better spent going with the flow. Especially since you have the Halloween party the night before. You wont be missing out with having an ADR at CRT as well.

I'd lose LTT and maybe move Ohana to that night if you can get an opening-time ADR. I'd also drop Via Napoli in favor of a Food & Wine booth lunch using snack credits. And I agree with the previous poster about Akershus the morning after your Halloween party - with the ages of your kids, you'll probably stay until the party's end and no one will want to get up for that early breakfast.

I agree....lose Askershus...trust me...now that our kids are older- NO ONE wants to get up when we stay out late the night before! Especially considering how early you'd have to get up to make an 8am reservation!

Yes, probably going to lose Askershus..... I was looking forward to it, but I know my kids would rather sleep in......

Sometimes it's hard to give thoughtful advice without knowing someone's full touring plan but here goes--I understand that you have Akershus the morning after the party but I assume you were planning on heading over to Frozen right after since EPCOT doesn't open until 9 that day and you could save that FP for something else. If this is the case--I would keep that res and cancel the GG that night (if everyone is tired you can head back to the resort and take it easy). Now, if your plan requires you to be in EPCOT that night for Illuminations or something else--obviously that wouldn't work for you. You have another GG ADR for breakfast (not sure if this is also PPO). We love character meals as well and truly believe that they add something extra to our vacations but the characters are going to be the same both times so cancelling one of those seems like the easy choice. Just take a good look at what your plans are for each day, including ADRs and FPs, and decide which ADR is really sort of making that day a bit more difficult or stressful---usually that helps me when I have to cut something out. Good luck
