I can't decide...HELP!!

[noahynav]

So I already have all 7 of my ADR booked for the end of Sept. But now I am second guessing all my decisions. I am just not sure what to do, and i am really beating myself up over this. Look at my list, look at my second choices, and tell me if you would change anything. I will appreciate any and all opinions. Thanks!!

ADR at:
Chef Mickey's
Coral Reef
Teppanaki Dining Room
Liberty Tree Tavern
Le Cellier
Hollywood & Vine (Fantasmic Package)
Garden Grill

My second choices were:
Sci Fi
50's Prime Time
Marrakesh
Whispering Canyon Cafe
Ohana
Spoodles

Also, I almost forgot to ask, I have been reading conflicting things about this, but do any of the ressies I currently have require 2 table service credits?

I can so relate with all the 2nd guessing as I just booked our adrs!! First of all take a deep breath! relax...it's all good....no need to stress. At first glance it looks like you have made some wonderful dining choices. We have eaten at the LTT, Chef Mickeys (breakfast) Lecellier, Hollywood and Vine, sci fi and prime time and enjoyed them all. To better fine tune your choices could you tell us who else is in your party? The reason I ask is because if you have children, they may prefer the antics and ambience of one place over another depending on their ages. I am pretty sure that the only restaurant on either of your lists that requires 2 tbs credits is Spoodles so you are safe in that respect. One thing to consider (and I am in no way trying to insult your intelligence-just trying to clear up some confusion I have noticed the past couple days) is that the amount of tbs, cs, & snack credits that you receive is determined by the number of NIGHTS that you stay not days. Looking at your list, I assume you are staying 7 nights? All and all, I think you should be happy with all your choices. A big plus is that it is FREE!!
Let us know what you decide! Patty

They are all one credit on both your A list and your B list.
Spoodles is one credit.
The Coral Reef used to be 2. But they dropped a couple of the more expensive things on their menu and made it one.

On the B list, 3 of them stand out.
Spoodles. I'd find a way to get this one in. It beat out CA Grill on just the food last trip. Obviously it's not going to compete with the view, or being able to see Wishes.
Whispering Canyon. This one was on my B-list last time and ended up on it again. It keeps coming down to the fact that some of the counters have good BBQ ribs, Pulled Pork, etc, and I can't quite pull the trigger to go.
Ohana. It is one that was on my B list last time that made it this time.

Yes, we are staying 7 nights. Sept 24 through October 1.
Our family consists of Me (25) DH (29) DS (8) and DS (2).
My kids are pretty well behaved at fancier sit down restaurants, so I am not overly concerned about that, but I do think they would enjoy the experience and antics at something like 50's Prime Time Cafe or the scenery at Sci Fi. Does that change anyones opinion about what I have booked?

I am really undecided about my Teppanyaki ressie. I worry that we will not like the appetizers, and that the entrees may not be exactly what we expect. I mostly booked it for the experience of seeing them prepare the food in front of us. Do you think that is a good enough reason, and has everyone liked the food there? I am considering switching this ressie to something on my B-list.

I would change Teppanyaki. How about LeCellier if you want to eat in EPCOT? We didn't care for the Hollywood and VIne FDP we liked the Mama Melrose one much better. I would make an out of pocket lunch ADR for Sci-Fi. The kids love the atmosphere. If you stick with burgers its not that expensive and I would waste a ts credit.

I notice you didn't have many character meals. How about a breakfast at Ohana (oop). Lilo and Stitch are there and its nice to eat at the Poly and then take the boat or monorail over to MK.

Have fun - oh and I always second, and third guess my APRs!

 

[noahynav]

Thanks DisneyMomx7....

I do have 3 charachter meals planned, not enough though? Chef Mickey's for dinner, Liberty Tree Tavern Character Dining, and Garden Grill at the Land (that is with Chip/Dale, right?)
We really aren't in to the breakfasts that much, that is why I have not scheduled one. We like for our mornings to be flexible. But I do think I am going to take your advice and cancel Teppanyaki. I am leaning towards replacing it with 50's Prime Time.

I too am 2nd guessing some of my ADR's. I booked Hollywood & Vine Fantasmic package like you did, but now I am really thinking of switching to Mama Melrose. I didn't want to do MM at first, because we will be eating at Alfredo's at Epcot earlier in the week, and I didn't want to overdo it on Italian food. But, now that I read the menu for MM, they seem to have so much more than just pasta. Also, I am not real big on buffets (I love them for breakfast, but not for other meals ), so that is another reason I might switch from H&V. Has anyone tried the wood fired pizzas at Mama Melrose? What did you think?

Since you have 2 young sons, I would suggest O'hana. It has a great atmosphere and has games for kids to participate in. I haven't been there since the menu change, but here it's good.

I would also suggest Ohana, we were there last Sept after the dreaded menu change and thought it was great. At the time our kids were 4 and 2 year olds and they loved the dinner. To give an idea of our taste we also ate at Chef Mickeys, WCC, and Jiko for our dinners.
