How many ADRs do you make?

At least one TS per day for dinner and at least one more for either breakfast or lunch. Rarely three in a day because we usually start late in the morning so eating three full meals a day is a lot. If we eat a very late dinner, we might have a late lunch and breakfast but that's rare. But almost always at least two TS per day and then we wing the rest of the day or just snack.

I usually start with our favourites for dinner, then our favourites for breakfast and then start to fill in as needed.
 
We typically make one ADR/day, and that's for lunch. We like to sit down for lunch because usually by then we're ravenous and the kids are tired so it's a nice break to have. We usually only do a breakfast one day, and that's the day we plan for the kids to do JTA, so we like to make a pre-opening ADR since we're going to have to get to the park early anyway. We're not going to Disney to eat, and the restaurants aren't spectacular. Don't get me wrong, the food is generally pretty good, but we have much, much better restaurants at home. At Disney, I'm eating mainly for fuel and to be entertained (we have little kids so we do a lot of character meals), not because the food is anything special. One big meal a deal is plenty, and you can find some great counterservice places with unique offerings. Plus, I wouldn't want to take up more park time than we have to to eat.
 
We have a dinner ADR for each night--- a few breakfasts--- kona, Tusker house, and Ohana, and normally book mama melrose for lunch--- ( and a late sci-Fi that night)
 
We do no more than 1 ADR a day. It is just too much food with just 1 sit down meal, let alone 2 or 3 per day! We'd never get to see as much in the parks with that many. We only do 1 a day when we are on the DDP. We planned to take it easy this upcoming trip so opted for free QSDP and made just 2 ADRs (Hoop Dee Doo is a must do each trip whether or the ddp or not) and then I got a free dining pin code yesterday and we were able to switch to POFQ and now have the regular dining plan so we made 1 ADR for each day. Since we are doing a dinner show that is 2 credits we will have 1 day during our week with no ADR and I think that is a great balance and break from the food for that day.

Usually I like to do 2 breakfasts and the rest dinners but this time we stuck with all dinners and they are mostly all places I haven't been before so I am excited for that.
 

We always do deluxe, wont go with out it. So typically we will do 2 or 3 meals a day, usually 3. We only have one CS and that is BOG lunch because we want lunch and dinner there.
