Help! Can't leave well-enough alone!

After reading posts about late ARs on MNSSHP night, I'm beginning to think LTT @ 7:20 is not such a good idea, but I want to have a nice dinner that night.

I have a 2 and 5 yr old so I need some type of entertainment/interest for them. I'm considering trying a resort restaurant instead and leaving MK for a while, but the only thing open is Kona Cafe at 6:05.

If we do Kona, will it take us out of the running for too long? Is it even worth the bother with two kids? Will they like Kona?

I made the mistake last year at MVMCP, of booking a table at LTT for 6.20pm. This was a mistake as lots of the events started at 7pm, whilst we were still in the restaurant. Having children the same age as yours, we knew they would last till the later shows, so wanted to catch all the early ones. We ended up shovelling our food down and it wasnt enjoyable. This year I have learnt my lesson, and at MNSSHP we are eating EARLY (4.45pm) at the Crystal Palace.

Personally, I would try to get an early booking somewhere - what about Whispering Canyon Cafe? That opens at 5pm and you should easily make it back to MK for 7pm.

Is Kona Cafe the only place with availability early evening? If thats your only choice, then I would scrap it and do a nice late lunch somewhere instead, then get counter service at MNSSHP. Most of the places open for lunch taking bookings up till 2.30ish so that might be a better solution???

Keep trying to call and see if you can get LTT any earlier. I just called today and got an ADR for 10/11 at 5:55. Last week when I called the earliest I could get was 7:30.

I plan to keep calling and see if I can get it bumped up even earlier. People change their minds and cancel all the time.

Worst case - just eat counter service inside the MK. The CM I talked to today said we could get in at 4:30 with our MNSSHP tickets.

Well, we've tried everywhere. Nothing but Kona (which doesn't interest us very much) is open between 4 and 7 that night. I think we're either going to have to go with LTT @ 7:20 or just try for counter service.

Maybe I'll keep trying for a cancellation for an earlier time. Tomorrow is the 45 day mark (some people cancel).

Thanks for the advice!
