HELP!! Best days for my ADRs?

[jsgrand0]

Hello...I know many of you will be able to help me out on this...you know the layout and locations of places so well!! I have certain places to eat, and I was wondering which ADRs should be made on which park days (If we are at MK one day...which ADR would be best for that...and vice versa...if we plan on getting BACK to MK after an ADR to see parade and fireworks). Here are my ADRs...(We are not big planners...so not even sure which parks we will be at when...I have a TENATIVE plan...)

On arrival day, we are eating at Planet Hollywood (guess this could change....just planned on eating there then heading over to MK to catch parade and fireworks, so we don't have to worry about catching them throughout the week).

Also plan to eat at:

Chef Mickey's
Trail's End
Beaches and cream
Le Cellier (obviously on an Epcot day!)
Yachtsman

and one night we will leave open...to do what we please! Kind of a kids choice....

so what is closest to each of these places...I don't want to spend too much time traveling, but know we will prob park hop too! Also, tried to make our "day" plans where there are NOT EMH that day (sometimes go the day AFTER EMH), but depending how the kids hold out, we may go to pm EMH...

Thanks for all your help! Love being able to ask a question here and get so many knowledgeable answers!!

Do Chef Mickey's on a MK day, since the CR is within walking distance. If you were doing breakfast there, you could also do it on an Epcot day: head to the CR, eat, then catch the monorail to Epcot. You could also do Trail's End (great choice btw) on a MK day since FW is just a boat ride away.

Beaches & Cream and the Yachtsman are connected to DHS by boat and to Epcot by boat and a walkway, so they would definitely be good on an Epcot day or a DHS day, giving you some flexibility.

DTD is not exactly close to MK. Why not have dinner at Trails End on your arrival day; then it's just a short boat ride to MK.

CM would work on an MK day or, for a later dinner, on an AK day. AK closes at 5 or 6 pm nearly all year now; no more evening EMH there. So if the kids are used to late dinner, schedule dinner at CM an hour or so after AK closes. If you want CM for breakfast or lunch, then it definitely needs to be on an MK day.

Yachtsman and B&C are both in what are called Epcot-area resorts, but they are a simple boat ride or 15 minute walk from DHS, too. Since you're already going to Le Cellier on an Epcot day, at least one of these restaurants should be on a DHS day.


Alternate plan: go to B&C on your arrival day; with sandwich-type meals and monster ice creams, it might be the best way to get in the vacation mood. Then go to the front of the resort and take the bus to MK. Use CM on another MK day. Le Cellier for an Epcot day. Yachtsman for a DHS day. Trails End for dinner after AK closes. Again, since that park closes early, after your dinner you could hang out in Ft. Wilderness for the Chip&Dale campfire sing-a-long and the free Disney movie afterwards, or schedule a wagon ride, or just go tour the horse stables.

-----on reflection, I like the "alternate plan" the best.
