I'm a newbie! Please help me with my ADRs

[Shannon623]

I am planning a trip for my husband and I, as well as another couple for this July. We are going for 7 nights/8 days. We do not have park hoppers, so we'll be spending each day in only one park. I'll include which parks on which days if that helps critique my ADRs. I already made ADRs, but want some opinions. I keep wondering if I made the right choices. Here's what we have:

Chef Mickey's 6:25 PM (Animal Kingdom)
Teppan Edo 6:30 PM (Epcot)
O'Hana 6:35 PM (Magic Kingdom)
Tutto Italia 6:30 PM (Epcot)
Kona Cafe 6:30 PM (Magic Kingdom)
Wolfgang Puck Cafe 6:30 PM (Hollywood Studios)
Le Cellier 6:10 PM (Epcot)
Boma breakfast 10:45 AM (on our last day in Disney) (Hollywood Studios)

Will it be easy to get to each restaurant from those parks? Should we go back to our resort first (Coronado Springs)? The one I'm wondering about the most, as far as the actual restaurant, is the Wolfgang Puck Cafe. We'll definitely be eating lunch at the Wolfgang Puck Express but I'm second guessing the Cafe for dinner. What do you think? Thanks for any help/suggestions you may have!

You only have 7 TS credits and 8 ADR's are you paying out of pocket for one of the meals?

I have heard that the WPC is not that great and to go to the Express as it is a CS.

Go from the park you are in to the ADR. If you go back to your resort you will waste a lot more time.

as PP said - head to your dinner ADR straight from the park you are in that day.

The only suggestion I would make to you is to consider changing one of your restaurants for a Magic Kingdom day. On both of your MK days, you will be leaving the park for dinner - you might want to spend one of those dinners IN MK so you can stay and enjoy the Spectro parade and Wishes fireworks from in the park. You can see Wishes from Ohana - but it's better from in the park. You MIGHT be able to dash back in to the park after your dinner - but it will be tight and you'll be rushed.

I think your MK days are fine, the Poly is easy to get to from the MK & it's nice to get out of the park for awhile. We've done that plan a number of times, love eating at the monorail resorts for that reason, very handy to leave the park & come back that way -- with ADRs before 7 p.m., chances are excellent you will be done eating & hop the monorail back to MK in time for Spectro & wishes...in July those should both be later in the evening.

As other post pointed out, you have too many ADRs unless you're paying OOP for one. I would dump WP Cafe...and use a counter service to eat at WP Express instead...it's a very good use for a counter service credit because the food is quite pricey there (but the express is good usually)
