Help With Planning

[dazzler92]

We have booked a trip at WDW for June 30th to July 6th. We have made several reservations for restaurants and was wondering what else we might enjoy, since we just realized that we are on the premium dining plan. This is what we have planned so far:

Saturday, June 30th:
(We will be arriving around 11am)
6:00 pm show for Cirque du Soleil La Nouba/DTD

Sunday, July 1st:
9:35 am at Cinderella's Royal Table
5:15 pm at Ohana's/Polynesian

Monday, July 2nd:
10:30 am at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Botique
5:00 at the 50's Prime Time Cafe/MGM
9:00 Illuminations/Epcot

Tuesday, July 3rd:
NONE

Wednesday, July 4th:
6:00 pm at Alfredo's/Epcot

Thursday, July 5th:
NONE

Friday, July 6th:
(Plane leaves at 2 pm sometime)
8:00 am at Whispering Canyon Cafe/Wilderness Lodge (Which is where we are staying)


What else do you think we should try to go to (dining wise)? It can be character or not, although we would like at least one more character meal. We have never been to WDW and have no idea. We will be going with a 15 yo and a 9 yo. Thanks for any ideas!!

I'll probably be in the minority, but I don't know how many character meals you need when you have kids that age. If you are steak eaters, I would throw in a good steakhouse somewhere. Lecellier, Yachtman's to name a couple. Another thought would be Coral Reef. You may want to eat in the park/area you will be going to in the evening. For example, instead of Prime Time on Monday, try Coral Reef or one of the World Showcase restaurants. Then Prime Time on the day you plan on going to MGM. My family enjoyed PT alot, kids were 9 and 11 at the time.

Our favorite character meals were Liberty Tree Tavern (Goofy, Minnie, Chip and Dale, and Pluto were there) and the Crystal Palace (Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet were there). We also enjoyed Kona Cafe at the Poly Resort. The food was wonderful at all 3 places!
