Help me with my reservations!!!

[TandLMommy28]

We are arriving Sunday sometime and planning to use our five table service meals for Character breakfast each day from Monday - Friday. My kids (and even me, honestly) are picky eaters and eating a good breakfast each morning is our best bet. We did this with my family when i was younger and it really worked well. We will do a little of MK on Sunday when we arrive just because I think to kids, that IS Disney so I want them to see it right away, but it will be a half day sort of thing... I feel like not knowing until the last minute put us at a disadvantage so I am feeling lost.

Here's what I have right now. I have time to play and change them. Chef Mickey's is all booked up--is there a way to get on a waiting list? I love that one!

Monday: Spend the day at Hollywood Studios
Hollywood & Vine

Friday: Redo anything we liked/Relax Day

Thoughts? As much as I know about Disney, the dining stuff is beyond me so this was all guessing based on the days I wanted to hit each park and what is available.

Also, if I can get in at Chef Mickey's, which other one would you skip???

Overall, things look good. If you do not have your own transportation, it may make some of these a bit more difficult, logistically though.

Really, the only day that concerns me is Thursday if you aren't staying at the GF (or have your own transportation). The travel time from going to the GF then to AK would be quite a bit. Unfortunately, the only decent (again, logistically) would be either Boma or Tusker House. Boma isn't a character breakfast (and may actually be more difficult than GF to get to, since you'd have to "double bus" there rather than Bus to MK and boat/monorail to GF).

So, on 2nd thought , what you have is better if you can't get Tusker House.

As far as CM goes, I'd put it in place of 1900 really. They're both decent food-wise, and if you want those characters more that'd work. I'd still take Tusker House over either though. The other days are quite good, so it's tough to fit something else in there .

We are driving down there so we CAN take our own car when needed. I liked NOT using the car the last time I was there but it's always an option.

Thanks for the input!!! It's really, really appreciated.
