How many ARs to make?

[tallym]

Hi, IAm going to DW in August next year with my Dh, 13 yr old and 6 yr old ds and dd. I love this board and have used the DLP forum a lot for my trip there back in April!!

Now I know I have more than a yr to go but there is that much to know and do about this that I had better start the planning now.

My first question about restaurants......Now I now know it is very important to have AR, Glad I know this as it is not the case for DLP. But How many AR does evet one tend to make, say for a 2 week trip.
Do I need to plan Breakfast lunch and dinner every day!!
Or is it the norm to just book dinner, but for every day ? Or maybe just a few places spread through the week.

What do you normally find is the best?

The general rule I see most people following is the "one a day" approach. Plan one nice meal a day, and fill in the rest where you see fit. That way, you are at least going to get one good meal a day. If you plan on eating more TS than that, you can always try for them while you are there - but you will be assured that you have seating at your top choices at the times you desire.

Good luck!

N.E.D.

I book 1 ADR per day for dinner and we usually book 1 or 2 breakfast ADR's for our entire trip. We love character bfasts

I agree with the one dinner AR per day. We did this for every night except the night we had pizza/calzone/breadsticks from the Spoodles pick up window. If you plan on any character breakfasts you definitely need AR. We never make lunch reservations because we ususally need only snacks to get us through until dinner.
