My ADR's for Thanksgiving Trip

[joleen76]

I need to preface this by saying this was a semi-last minute trip planned and booked at the end of August/beginning of September. I feel like I really did pretty good with what I got. We are on the dinning plan and have 9 TS credits, so I'm going to have to pay out of pocket for 2 meals. I should also mention we have eaten at all of these TS except the new menu at Teppan Edo. So here are my ADR's what do you think?

11/16 we arrive and MVMCP
LTT 6:30 pm

11/17
Le Cellier 2:40 pm
Teppan Edo 8:15 pm

11/18
Brown Derby 6:40 pm (2 TS Credits)

11/19
Coral Reef 2:50 pm

11/20
Cape' May Buffet 5:40 pm

11/21
Sci-Fi Dine In 3:15 pm

11/22
Nine Dragon's 6:30 pm
(This was by design knowing all the TS menu's change to have Thanksgiving menu's around the holiday, wanted one that didn't to avoid some of the crowds)

11/23
Candlelight Processional Teppan Edo 2pm (booked this last week!!! can you believe it?)
Chef Mickey 9 pm

We are doing Teppan Edo twice this trip, but since it was shut down for refurb during our May trip and we missed it I don't think my kids will mind. Chef Mickey's is a late one on our last night. I have thought about canceling it, but my DS8 LOVES it. We ate there for the first time on our May trip and he continues to talk about all the deserts and the characters etc.

I was thinking I would pay OOP for Sci-Fi lunch & Chef Mickey's since it's a buffet and all the buffet's basically cost the same.

Oh yeah, and this is a complete surprise to my boys!! They have no idea where we are going! Keeping all this planning a secret from them is killing me, can you tell??

We ate at Nine Dragons on our last trip and did NOT like it at all. JMHO.

I'd probably only eat at Teppan Edo once, unless you really like it THAT much.

Don't forget, you'll have some CS to use too.

Oh wow, so sorry you had a bad experience at Nine Dragons. We've eaten there every time we've gone to Disney (6 times now) and loved it every time! To each their own?

I understand what you mean about Teppan Edo though. The one reason I am hesitant to cancel one of the ressies for that is, that my kids love the hibachi style eateries and every time we have a special dinner they want to go to one. Wish I could get into California Grill for 11/17 but that's not going to happen.

The CS issue is definitely the one I am having to think about. I know there is always breakfast to use it on as well. I am actually going to try and get to the parks early for most days this trip.

Thanks for your input!!
