Help me narrow down choices/ input

[choirfarm]

Ok, please give me your input/experiences

Saturday at Epcot
All 5 can go to Coral Reef or 3 boys (dh and 13yo, 11yo) can eat there and daughter and I can do the Princess Storybook Dining..still 1 credit, correct? Either late lunch 2ish or early dinner 4:30.

Sunday at Magic Kingdom
Kona Kafe or Ohana - both are at the Polynesian, easy to get to? I'm leaning toward Kona as it is a late EMH, so we could take a late lunch mid-day break at Kona as opposed to a dinner at Ohana.

Monday at MGM
50's Prime Time Cafe

Tuesday at Epcot
Either Biergarten or the Captain's grill at the Yacht Club..which would you recommend?

Wednesday
All day at Animal Kingdom.. EMH extra evening hours. So the suggestion to ear at Boma for dinner wouldn't work. Would breakfast at Boma be better or in the park at Tusker House? This is the day I'm just not sure. The park doesn't open until 9, so eating at 7:30 at Boma might be an option. There don't seem to be any TS choices available at mid-day which is when we like to eat. If we do a big breakfast then we can eat a late meal at the Flaming Tree BBQ.

Thursday
It is early entry to Magic Kingdom.. I'm really not sure what park we will do here. If we do Magic Kingdom then my daughter and I could do the 1900 Park Fair for a late breakfast or early dinner??? Boys would do....

Friday
Absolutely no idea. I thought I would leave this day open to go to whatever park we liked the best, so I don't know what to do for a TS this day.

any suggestions?

Anyone? It looks like the Plaza might be a good choice for the boys if we do a princess dinner at MK.

Anyone have any suggestions or have answers to any of my questions in this post, so I can call and make my ADR's today?

Based on passed experience:
Where are you staying?

Never been to the Coral Reef but it sounds good and it would be nice to dine together...Weve only been to Norway for the breakfast which I would highly recommend... maybe get an "early before openeing" adr for there for js tyou and your DD then meet the fam in the park?

MK early entry do you plan on staying at MK?

Kona is a great choice and can be a great getaway.

We loved the Biergarten and it is a must do for us... A few regular kids options but the rest is German and the band is fun to see. I'd go with this since you will be in the park

Boma for a big early breakfast sounds great then Flame Tree for a late lunch... or what about an early breakfast in the park...once again before opening?

WHen are you going?
That and your hotel would help.
Happy planning

These are the three options of when we are staying for free dining Sept. 12-20th (or 7 nights thereabouts) if it comes out. First choice- 2 rooms at All Star Music, 2nd choice probably POR. If we are not cooking then we don't need the All Star family suites which is the other one I tried to get. I'm just going to go ahead and make my ADR's for those times. We are not getting park hoppers so yes, we would stay at MK. However, maybe a mid-day break at the hotel. That is the other thing about my plan. I'm not sure that 7 straight days at the park is a good idea. But it will cost us a total of 10 extra dollars for that 7th day, so I hate to pass it up. REally, 7 days at the park isn't much more than 3. This is our last family trip to Disney, so it has to be perfect...I'm just not sure what perfect will be. That is what is driving me crazy...trying to pick something everyone will love, be happy with, and be the most cost efficient. Trying to make this a perfect vacation is making me crazy. I much prefer our get in the camper and just go to National Parks vacations we normally take... much less stressful. You just hike where you want and cook outside. But with deisal nearly 4 dollars a gallon, just driving alone to Disney would cost over 800 dollars!!!! So driving our fuel efficient car for 200 round trip is much better than taking the trailer and faster as well and really at value rates and/or 40 percent off camping at Fort Wilderness won't be any cheaper. I'm just getting a headach trying to figure out the perfect way to go.
