My ADRs - Any thoughts?

[Colleen27]

I pulled together these plans in a hurry, as we just decided yesterday to change our travel dates from Nov to May and as it turns out today was our 90 day mark. So I'd very much appreciate any opinions or advice, because as an uber planner who usually spends weeks on this stuff, I'm *sure* I must have screwed something up!

I think the times of your lunches on Days 5 and 6 are too close to your dinner times.

Excellent restaurant choices, though. Have a wonderful trip.

Awesome!

Starting the trip with Narcoossee's - I'm jealous! We loved that place. We had planned on "no repeats" for our next couple of trips, but I think Narcoossee's will make us bend that rule.

Le Cellier was another hit. I know it gets rave reviews on here, so I was a little skeptical, but it really was good.

Everything else looks great too.

There was a 2 missing on day 6 - CRT is at 12, not 1.

On day 5, I'm thinking Le Cellier always seems to be running behind (we ended going up elsewhere on two different trips because we checked in for our ADR and were told they were running 45min to an hour late), so I planned a little earlier dinner than I usually would to compensate. If they're on time, sushi is a light enough lunch that we'll still be ready to eat, but if they're running late we won't be starving while we wait!

We started out thinking no repeats, but it seems like every trip we add another must-do. Our last trip was 11 nights of deluxe dining, 24 ADRs plus a few walk-ups, and I've still got a long list of places to try!

Narcoosees is a repeat, but since our arrival day is my mom's birthday I wanted a special dinner and she loves lobster. She hasn't been there, though, so it will be new to her.

Le Cellier is a first for us. We always make an ADR there, and we always end up changing/cancelling it. This will be the third time I've booked it. Hopefully third time is the charm.

We got the whole Maine lobster and it was fantastic. We are from New England, so we know good lobster and were hoping they wouldn't overcook it. It was perfect! The surf & turf has a lobster tail, but it's not from the same waters as the whole Maine lobster, so the flavors of the two are different. I'm sure your Mom will love the place.

From our limited Disney dining so far, I think it's the best dining there, not only for the food but for the location, the atmosphere and the view. We had an 8:45 reservation, which was perfect because the Electrical Water parade went by shortly after 9:00. And the view to MK at night was just beautiful.

They all look great!!! My only comment would be will your kids be ok after being in the park all day and doing CM's at 7:45?

I agree, I think you will be too full to enjoy the parks and too full to enjoy your evening meals, but great picks.

I hope so. Right now the plan is for me, my mom, and the baby to leave AK shortly after lunch to have some time to rest, hence the late-ish dinner time. DH & the big kids will probably stay at AK until close, because the big kids have the stamina to do much longer days (on our January trip, we had a couple of days where we went rope drop to last call).

A lot of the planning this time is trial and error, because I'm not sure yet how the baby is going to be on vacation. At home, she sleeps any time we're moving, but 3 months and a change of scenery are likely to make a big difference!
