Hi, all! We are planning our third trip to WDW for this October (CR TPV!) and I really want to do a dining trip report! I hope if I put this pre-trip report out there I will be more motivated to actually write up a trip report. I even bought a little (Hello Kitty) notepad to take on our trip to write notes about our meals. :cool1:

We are: me, Sheila, age 32; DH, age 30 (31 in September); DD age 4 (5 in August); and DS age 11 months (1 in July). DH, DD, and I have been to WDW twice (in my signature). Our second trip was last May when I was 30 weeks pregnant (my SIL says technically DS has been to WDW LOL).
 
Since our kids are so young (and very slow eaters, at least DD is) we are planning lots of character meals. We plan to get the PP+ and love that some meal pictures are included.

Our itinerary:

Arrive on Saturday, October 20 around one. DME to CR and check in. Plan is to go to DTD.
Lunch: Depending on how long it takes to get to CR and check in, plus how hungry we are, we might eat QS at CR. If we can wait we want to try EoS in DTD.
Dinner: Raglan Road (love this place, have already been twice)

Sunday 10/21: MK day #1
BBB at 8:05 for DD
breakfast: CRT @ 9:05
lunch: QS or snacks
dinner: Plaza @ 5
going to MHSSHP
We plan on going back to CR in the afternoon to rest before heading back to MK for the party. We realize it will be an early morning and late night. We figured our first day of the trip we won't be too tired and will be so excited it will be OK.

Monday 10/22: Epcot day #1
breakfast: plan on sleeping in some (which is about 7:30 or 8 for DD), Akershus @ 9:45
lunch: F&W snacking
dinner: Chefs de France @ 6:30
Want to get a good view for Illuminations.

Tuesday 10/23: AK
breakfast: TH @ 8
lunch: Flame Tree BBQ or other QS or just snacks (having early dinner)
dinner: Spirit of Aloha show @ 5:15
plan to watch Hallowishes from our balcony at CR...so excited!

Wednesday 10/24: MK day #2
breakfast: CP @ 8:05
lunch: unsure...QS or Wave o r Kona Cafe
dinner: probably just snacks
Wishes Dessert party

Thursday 10/25: HS
breakfast: H&V @ 8 (heard bad things about H&V, so may cancel this closer to the trip)
lunch: QS somewhere
dinner: HS closes at 7, so we figure it's an excellent time to try Cape May seafood buffet @ 7

Friday 10/26: Epcot day #2
breakfast: Kona Cafe @ 9 - might move this up to get to Epcot earlier. We have never road Soarin (don't really have much desire to do so) and Test Track will be closed (we have no desire to really do this either LOL) so we won't need to be there right at rope drop
lunch: Le Cellier @ 2:15
dinner: snacks at F&W
We plan to do most of WS before dinner and then after dinner head over to FW to do the Land pavilion and to avoid Friday night F&W crowds. May stay for Illuminations, may not.

Saturday 10/27 (last day): MK day #3
breakfast: Chef Mickey's @ 8:20
lunch: unsure, depends on DME because our flight home leaves at 4:45
We want to be all packed to check out before eating at Chef Mickey's, then head to MK for a while, then go back to CR for DME to the airport.

Any suggestions for meals to try for our open spots are much appreciated! I'm not positive how the kids will do with snacking around F&W (I probably won't want to spend a lot for a 1 and 5 year old LOL) so we will probably get them QS meals along the way.
 
Your family is so cute! Thanks for sharing!

I'm in for your DR and can't wait to hear all about your experiences!

Haha realizing I must have hit the wrong thread! Looking for your newest PTR that I saw you post about on another thread...
 
LOL that's funny! Yeah, I kinda abandoned this one because we cancelled the October trip...
