Long time WDW Vet - Disneyland newbie

[ckb_nc]

I have been WDW so many times I plan trips for others. But only one visit to DL for me and this is
first family trip over Memorial Day to celebrate my middle daughters high school graduation. We are flying out Thursday the 26th heading back the 30th. Snagged a two bedroom DVC suite in VGC right at the 7 month windows. So the questions:

Early entry

1. Can you go into the DL AND still do DCA early entry at 9am?
2. Early entry value? DCA seems better than DL?

Eating

1. Being on the east coast, we will be up early - so looking at breakfasts in the room on the way out the door. Need some cant miss spots
2. We like to sit down mid-day often as a breather - so would love those suggestions. Also would use this to visit other hotels too

Fastpasses

1. If I am reading this right, this is old school. Do they enforce the time windows? Some one remind which rides are NOT connected?

Weather - looks like its upper 70s for highs and upper 50s for lows - so shorts and sweatshirts?

Read this for very helpful info: A DLR Guide for WDW Vets.

One "can't miss" eating spot in DL is Blue Bayou. There is nothing like eating inside POTC. You could also do a PTN Dining package there. We like lunch at CCR as a mid-day break -- lovely room, very good service, amazing food for a theme park. If S55 is still offering afternoon tea (weekends only), that might be a very nice treat for your daughter.

FP return times are strictly enforced. Any grace period depends solely on the CM's discretion. At this time, BLAB isn't connected. WOC FPs aren't connected. When F! is running, those FPs aren't connected either.
