My ADRs, Suggestions?

[lovesLilo]

Hi! DFi and I will be going to WDW for my first ever trip, and his first as an adult in late October. We are staying offsite (in-laws offered their timeshare :-o ) and thus paying OOP. This trip will be just us, as DS will be under a year old.

Here are our ADR's. Looking for suggestions/advice as we will be going during F&W and we're both definite foodies. Wondering if I should try to re-work some of our schedule so that we could have a 2nd day at Epcot that would not be during the weekend. Any thoughts, ideas and suggestions are appreciated!

October 28 - arrival day. No ADR - Maybe heading over to epcot for F&W or DTD.

October 29 - 'Ohana breakfast with Lilo & Stitch - Trying to get Mama Melrose Fantasmic Package


October 31 - CRT (8:10am before MK opens) - Trying to book Pirates league for DFi - Considering MNSSHP

November 1 - Epcot - Dinner @ Garden Grill (Thoughts Anyone?)

November 2 - No ADRs planned yet

November 3 - No ADRs planned yet

November 4 (Last day at WDW) - Early lunch @ Planet Hollywood - Dinner TBD (Suggestions Please!)

October 29 - 'Ohana breakfast with Lilo & Stitch - Trying to get Mama Melrose Fantasmic Package Awesome character breakfast! I was just there the same day as you last year!


October 31 - CRT (8:10am before MK opens) - Trying to book Pirates league for DFi - Considering MNSSHP I just booked CRT too on 11/9! First time going.

November 1 - Epcot - Dinner @ Garden Grill (Thoughts Anyone?) Never ate there, but it is another character dining...if you're "foodies" I would look into some of the restaurants in World Showcase: Le Cellier, Les Chefs de France, or Tutto Italia.

November 2 - No ADRs planned yet

November 3 - No ADRs planned yet

November 4 (Last day at WDW) - Early lunch @ Planet Hollywood - Dinner TBD (Suggestions Please!)

There is so much to do and eat! I went to the F&W Festival last year and while it's "fun" I was very very underwhelmed with the food. I used my Dining Plan too and wasted points on things. I know many other people have fun & love this, but that was my first experience and my last.

Other places I would recommend based off past visits: Artist Point in the Wilderness Lodge (amazing!), Wolfgang Pucks (the quick service one) in Downtown Disney, California Grille (atop the Contemporary Resort) - and if you plan this correctly, you have the best view of the Wishes fireworks over the Magic Kingdom. If you want a great burger and fries and atmosphere, head to Hollywood Studios for the Sci Fi Dine In Theater. Raglan Road Irish Pub in Downtown Disney is another awesome and must-do for me.

Is there a type of food you love? How many days will you be in the parks?

Garden Grill-we always enjoy this one

These are our favs-
MK-Plaza, LTT lunch, CP (we only like LUNCH)
EPCOT-GG (as I already mentioned we enjoy this one)
STUDIOS- Sci Fi is a fun change - food is ok

Resorts-
CR-The Wave-love breakfast, dinner is great too!
WL-WCC-lunch (a little more subdued-some nice salads rather than that huge skillet)
GF-1900 Pk Fare breakfast (we're not fans of the dinner, but love breakfast)
BC-Cape May breakfast (another one we prefer breakfast over dinner)
BW-FF-great seafood
Swan-Il Mulino (awesome Italian-also just a boat ride away from Epcot)
AKL-Jiko

DTD
Paradiso 37 is our favorite and "must-do" restaurant here
WPC is "usually" good although we've had some inconsistent experiences here
Earl of Sandwich for a quick bite
