Help making AR without Oct hrs please...

[bamamom]

Those of you that are experts, this 1st timer needs some help It is me and dh and our DS 9 and DD 7 were are on the dining plan and we are going in Oct, so with out the hrs yet I'm having trouble but am afraid not to go ahead and make ARs. What is the best way to try and do this without the calendar? We are going to MNSSHP on Oct 6 the only AR I could get was Crystal Palace at 3:45 (didn't want to eat that early that nite ) and LTT only AR was for 8 that night so should I change it to somewhere else outside of MK and then come into the park for the MNSSHP around 6? Where would you suggest for dinner on our first night? We are driving in and will be there around 8am and the kids want to go to MK first. Some of the places we are looking at eating on our 6 day trip are

ESPN Club (this one is for sure)
Trails End
Chef Mickeys Breakfast (have AR's for this already)
Crystal Palace
Sci-Fi
Maya Grill
Planet Hollywood
Whispering Canyon
Liberty Tree Tavern
1900 Park Fare

Thanks for all your help, I am new at this but trying to learn fast!! I just want to have a good trip and not have to walk around from place to place to find somewhere to eat because we didn't have AR's

Here's a link for last years Oct. hours.

I would use these as a guideline. The hours will probably be close to the same.

Hi! We are doing MNSSHP on the 6th as well! We have an AR for 1900 Park Fare for 4:30. Had it for 5:30, but I heard they will let us in early for the party, so I changed it to 4:30. We really like 1900 Park Fare, the food is good, and it's right on the monorail loop, so we will just hop on over to the MK when we are done. We did the same thing in 2003 for MVMCP and it worked out great. Good luck!

Bamamom,

I just want to let you know. ESPN is not available for ADR's. It is a first come first serve eatery. Good Luck!

Wanted to add: We ate at CP at 4:05 before MVMCP last year. It was nice getting in early and taking advantage of some rides before everything starts. I would have a good breakfast and keep CP. Maybe have a snack during MNSSHP. I think if you change to a resort restaraunt with a later adr, this will put you later getting into MK for the party.

Trail's End is really good. We ate there for breakfast one morning. It is definately the best value on site. We enjoyed CM but it was for dinner. Haven't been to any of the others you have listed. I'm sure someone will have some insight on these for you.

My plan for MNSSHP is to get to the park and eat there around 5 or so at a counter service place. THat way I don't have to worry about getting there on time and being stuck in a restaurant when the party starts. When we went in 2003 we just ate at the food court at the hotel. THat worked out well for us too!
