Help "pruning" my ADR's!

[WDWAtLast]

I am getting ready to call for ADR's in a few weeks, and have alot more TS picks than I will have credits for on the DDP! I may or may not get everything - but what should I look at "pruning" from my list? The only one I want to keep postively is CRT - for dd's birthday. DD's are 5 1/2 and (turning) 8 - their first time at WDW. We will fill in the blank meals with CS and snacks! I don't mind paying OOP for CRT, but don't want to pay OOP for more than that while CS credits aren't getting used. I am over at least 3 more credits - even if we pay OOP for CRT and AP. thanks!!

Sat- Arrival day
MK - CS somewhere

Sun - AK
Tuskerhouse breakfast
HoopDeDoo

Mon - MK
CP breakfast
1900 Park Fare Dinner

Tues - DHS
50's Prime Time lunch
F! dinner package at MM (might not get this, anyway!)

Wed - resort day
WCC - family dinner OR Artist Point for Dh and I while kids are at kids club (would definately pay OOp at AP - and probably split an appetizer and an entree)

Thurs - MK
CRT late breakfast/early lunch

Friday - Epcot
Askershus (not sure which meal yet)

Sat - going home
Ohana for breakfast

Well I think everything looks great- and agree it's a good idea to pay OOP for CRT.
If I were you, I would try to get ADRs for everything on your list, adn that way if somehting is unavailable, then your pruning will done for you!

You sound like me- we did free dining last year and are again this year and can't really justify doing deluxe but the regular just isn't enough table service for us.

I don't think it's horrible to pay over and do a few extra meals- if that's what you guys want. And if you end up bokoing something that you don't wanna keep, just cancel it as soon as u know.

on the Tuesday at DHS i would look at only doing one of your two options ( whatever is available)

I had that problem last year (and I am thinking I will this fall too!). I ended up cancelling the Hoop de doo. Although I thought it would be fun, I just didn't think it would be worth the two credits. We did CRT lunch which we really liked. Loved 50's primetime, and tuskerhouse. We did Askerhaus for dinner. Didn't really care for it, as I am not a big fan of the norwegian food. I might consider it again for breakfast but I am thinking about trying 1900 park fair instead (my DD3 and DD2 love princesses). Have fun.

I would cut of 50's Prime Time and HoopDeDoo (2TS).

I would cut HoopDeDoo & only plan 1 TS for DHS day.

I would probably cut at least one if not two of your breakfasts. You waste a lot of good park touring time sitting for breakfast (when the park is least crowded too) and it is not a good use of a TS credit since it is the cheapest. Plus, I think having 2 sit-down meals per day will end up being a lot of time in the restaurants, at least 2 - 3 hours a day when you could be on rides, etc...
