Help me plan my AK day ADRs with my 2 y.o.

[peanut520]

I've run through many scenarios on paper, but I just cant decide. we (+ my parents) are staying at CR for 4 night w/ dxddp and planning 2 days @ Mk, 2 days @ EC, and 1 day @ AK. dd naps now (not sure about strollerr naps either since she'll nap in her cameleon at home but dh wants to bring the mac quest), but i dont know what she'll do in sept. many of you have suggested that my AK day needs some work so i'm turning to the experts

option 1 (3 meals):
815a tuskers breakfast
noon y&y
540p narcoossee's or 550p boma

option 2 (breakfast / dinner):
815a tuskers
snack credits for lunch
540p narcoossee's or 550p boma

option 3 (RD/ lunch/ dinner):
RD and snack credit for breakfast
move y&y to 11am
540p narcoossee's or 550p boma

what do you guys think?

My suggestion would be:

snack credits for breakfast
1pm or later Tusker House ADR to get priority seating to the Finding Nemo show at 3:15pm
Dinner at Boma after looking around Jambo House

This will leave you with an extra meal credit for the day, but hopefully you will be able to apply it somewhere else during your stay.

I'm a bit biased by the fact that my own family usually eats a pretty light breakfast. This is our plan for our first AK day, but on our 2nd AK day, we're trying the Tusker House breakfast and doing CS for lunch. So, if you need to burn all 3 meal credits, I might think about doing TH for breakfast and lunch, but that's because I really like TH.

Will Tusker House for lunch and Boma for dinner be a little to similiar? i do worry that if we need to head back to CR in the middle of the day for a nap that it will be a struggle to get back to the boma adr. We could always upgrade one of our dinners to a signature another night with the extra credit.

Assuming your 2 year old likes the characters, I would highly recommend the Tusker House breakfast. The food is good and the characters are cute. Unless you are really big eaters, you probably will not want much for lunch other than maybe a snack after the breakfast buffet. The only issue for me would be whether you are dealing with a time change and if your 2 year old is an early riser, since you will have to get going really early to make that 8:15.

i'm not actually sure if dd will be into the characters or not since it is our first trip, but she loves the chik-fil-a cow and has me follow the poor guy around the mall whenever we go (very few months?). we enjoy eating together, but i'm not sure what the heat will do to us. we are flying down from the east coast so no time change and dd is normally up between 5:40am- 6:10am daily. Getting me out the door will be another issue
