I was hoping the dinning experts would critique my ADR's...:flower3: We are on the regular dinning plan.

Our stay at Port Orleans is Oct. 25- Nov. 2

Oct. 25-no ADR's as I have no idea what time we will arrive. My only plan is to watch Spectromagic @ 8pm figured we would just grab a quick bite.

Oct. 26- Dinner at Victoria and Alberts 5:45

Oct. 27- We are planning on doing the Holy Land Experience from 10-5 then
Tutto Italia @ 6:55... (Do you think this will give us enough travel time?)

Oct. 28- Chef Mickeys @ 9:50 AM for brunch
no dinner reservations due to MNSSHP

Oct. 29- Raglan Road @ 6:15

Oct. 30- Sci-Fi @ 11:45 for Lunch
Flying Fish @ 7:00 for dinner

Oct. 31- Olivia's for dinner @ 6pm

Nov. 1- Brown Derby for dinner @ 5:35

Nov. 2- no ADR's.

If I stick with this plan how does this work out as far as TS credits? What meals would prob. be better to pay out of pocket for if we run out of credits?

Do these look like good choices? Thanks a bunch in advance. :goodvibes

Oct. 26- Dinner at Victoria and Alberts 5:45never done -- not into "fancy" food

Oct. 27- We are planning on doing the Holy Land Experience from 10-5 then
Tutto Italia @ 6:55... (Do you think this will give us enough travel time?)on our short list of places we want to try--I've read excellent reviews lately

Oct. 28- Chef Mickeys @ 9:50 AM for brunch we like breakfast (do not like dinner)
no dinner reservations due to MNSSHP

Oct. 29- Raglan Road @ 6:15never done

Oct. 30- Sci-Fi @ 11:45 for Lunchwe really enjoy this; my DH swears by the reuben sandwich and the onion rings are out of this world
Flying Fish @ 7:00 for dinneralso on our short list to try

Oct. 31- Olivia's for dinner @ 6pm never done and haven't read much about it

Nov. 1- Brown Derby for dinner @ 5:35We were not impressed; we had terrible service (five tables at lunch were occupied and we were there for over two hours); food was mediocre at best -- definitely not worth two table service credits in our opinion

Nov. 2- no ADR's.

I can't comment on many, but the ones we've done I've commented in red.

-Sounds like fun :)

- No idea where that thing is so can't comment on travel time. I'd assume that you have your own transportation, since you're traveling off site though. Figure at least 20minutes from Epcot turnstile to Tutto and you should get to Tutto by 6:45ish. I'd look to be back in the "world" by no later than 6pm, and that may be pushing it.

Oct. 28- Chef Mickeys @ 9:50 AM for brunch
- Breakfast is decent. Good character interaction last year when I went. Food wasn't bad either (Dinner gets very bad reviews mostly)
no dinner reservations due to MNSSHP

Oct. 29- Raglan Road @ 6:15

Oct. 30- Sci-Fi @ 11:45 for Lunch
- This would be the target OOP meal.
Flying Fish @ 7:00 for dinner - I've heard amazing things about this place. Unfortunately, seafood is not my forte so it limits my own interest (otherwise I'd be going there for sure in Sept)

Oct. 31- Olivia's for dinner @ 6pm

Nov. 1- Brown Derby for dinner @ 5:35

Nov. 2- no ADR's.

-Right now, you are 1 TS credit over. You will be getting 8TS and 8CS credits for your 8 night stay. (See below for more detail)

See green comments inline above.

Like mentioned, you're 1 TS credit over the standard DDP plan. Since the dining plans are based on nights and not days, you'll have 8TS, 8CS, 8snack per person for the length of the stay. I would recommend paying OOP for Sci-Fi, as it should be the cheapest option. You may want to compare the menus between it and Olivia's though, as what you would order may play a role (I've never looked at Olivia's, so I don't know what the entree's there average)

Beyond that, the plan itself looks pretty good. Without knowing which parks you plan each day though, I may be a little off.
