I'm organizing a trip for 10 people in mid-December, and I'm trying to figure out a plan. Advice from experienced Christmas party attendees would be greatly appreciated.
Saturday Dec 17: Everyone slowly arrives at POR, between noon and 4pm. We have a reservation at Ohana at 5:45, but it would be easier to either eat at POR or take a boat to Disney Springs, where we have reservations at Frontera Cocina.
Sunday Dec 18: We have reservations at BoG at 12pm and CRT at 11:45am.
Thursday Dec 21: Some people will go to AK in the morning, then we will return to the Poly to swim at the pool in the afternoon. We have MVMCP tickets, and reservations for BoG at 4:25 and Ohana at 5.
Here's my dilemma: on the one hand, I think people would really enjoy CRT, even though my 7yo daughter says she's over princesses (but elatedly sang along at Mickey and the Magical Map last week) and her cousins are 2yo and 6yo boys. If we ate there, we would either have to shoehorn Ohana into a travel day, rushing to get there from POR, or we would have to do it in lieu of BoG dinner on a Christmas Party day.
On the other hand, if we are willing to scrap CRT, we could to BoG lunch on Sunday, then Ohana on the 21st, and relax on arrival day. But I don't know if Ohana at 5pm before MVMCP is a baaaaad idea because meat coma and late arrival at the park.
I'm still trying to work this out in my head, and I'd appreciate some feedback, in whatever form it may arrive. I've eaten CRT breakfast, BoG lunch, Ohana breakfast and dinner, and Frontera Cocina, but not BoG dinner, so I don't know how to gauge it.
Thanks!
