Help with timing 'Ohana breakfast ADR...

[jana616]

Wondering if anyone will take a stab at this...we will be there 9/7-9/14 with two small kids (4 and 2). Currently we have an 'Ohana breakfast ADR for 9 am on 9/13, our last day in the parks. I'm trying to figure out if I should change it to a different time.

This is a Sunday. The day before we are doing a park in the morning and then DTD and T-Rex in the evening. I expect we'll be back to the hotel by 8:30 or so. Then on Sunday we are doing our second full day at MK, and are planning to do late EMH for as long as my 4 year old can go(2 yo will be at hotel with grandma), with a hotel break in the middle and dinner at 5:30 at Chef Mickeys.

So my question is, will we miss too much good park time (the early, less crowded time on a weekend day, crowd level 5) if we keep the 9? I checked online and there was an 11 (I think the very last seating). If we did that, we could go to the park at rope drop, then head out to Poly at like 10:30 (?). Then go from Poly to MK to POP for break. If we did the later seating, I think we would end up leaving MK to go to Poly and later leaving MK to go to Contemp, since our break would be earlier and we'd come back earlier. If we keep earlier one, we'd leave MK for break a little later, then go straight to Contemporary from POP. We could also do a little earlier ADR, like an 8:20-8:30 if that makes a difference. I'm not clear on how hard it is to get to these resorts from POP and from MK, so I think that's where I'm getting lost!

Please, please someone offer some advice!

Personally I would go for the 11 am ADR to be there for RD. We are firm believers that you get so much done in the first hours a the park. Being on the Monorail line the commute is rather quick (better than waiting for a bus or changing buses) and you could go back to the MK if you wanted. Also take into consideration that MK *may* not be as crowded in the morning with PM EMH as people *may* show up leter in the day to stay later than night.

Thanks for the reply! I know, I'd really like to be there for RD too. When I booked the ADR I was thinking we'd want it a little later since we'd be out late that night. But I think a rest in the middle is more important.

But I worry that if we do the later one, we'd be going POP-MK-POLY-POP-MK-CONT-MK. That seems crazy. I'm wondering about doing an 8:20 or so. We'd get to the park around 9:30, so still get lots of park time in the morning, but not do so much shuffling. Any more thoughts? If we did an 8:20, what time would we have to leave POP to get there? Thanks!
