Help with Final ADR - Kona, Chef Mickey or Crystal Palace??

[dadog]

Trying to make my final DDP ADR and keep flip flopping. I have a last day reservation at chef mickey and crystal palace but am thinking of changing to Kona (we are staying at the Poly). I currently have Ohana, Coral Reef, Le Cellier, and Boma. ShouldI change to Kona in order to stay on-site? How long is the monrail commute to chef mickey and crystal palace. This is our first trip. Any suggestions????

The commute on the monorail to either Chef Mickey or Crystal Palace will not be more than 10-12 minutes I would guess, others may no more precise timing. I will say I have eaten at all of the above and we love all of them! Kona is more laid back there is no theming as far as characters etc. If you want Character meals you can't go wrong with either of the other two but if you want just a laid back meal in your resort you will enjoy Kona. I have only eaten lunch there and and it was yummy and reasonably priced. Such hard decisions!

You don't mention any kids....none of your choices are "character" meals.
If you have children, I would suggest at least one character meal and I would go with Chef Mickey's. Both Crystal Palace and Chef Mickey's are buffet style and both are fairly good. Lots to choose from. I suggest Chef Mickey's because Mickey, after all, is the head cheese. (No pun intended!)
Have a great trip...I'm sure you will have a blast!

I have a DD13 and DS9. I really want to enjoy the resort as much as possible and not spend time traveling around. We will only have two days there at club level.

I would make the ADR for Chef Mickey's. It has Mickey and all of his gang there and is true Disney spirit. All you have to do is ride the monorail over to the Contemporary for the Poly which will take about 15-20 minutes.
