My revised Deluxe Dining ADR list- please peek for a newbie!

[newserenity]

My family of 5 is taking our first Disney trip in early May. I grew up in central FL so, I have been a ton of times but my DH has never been and my 3 girls have not either. We have a 2,5, and 10 year old DD. We like to eat and will have 6 days spread out between Epcot, MK, and AK and we are skipping HS for this trip. We are staying at the POFQ for the small size and the refurbs.

OK here it goes- If not listed we will be eating either breakfast in the room (will pack cereal bars/cereal/muffins etc) or doing CS.

SUN.- ARRIVAL DAY

Will arrive midday and check in, may go to MK for the later part of the day after a nap if we feel like it. But, just in case we hang around the resort that day we are doing a late character meal.

Are you staying 5 nights? If so, you have 15 meal credits (3/day with deluxe plan.) I only see 12 used. Are you planning some counter service meals as well? If not, you might consider revamping your plan.

I think you are heavy of buffets, but if that is what you like... I think you can get more bang for your buck with some of the non-buffet table service restaurants.

I have not eaten at most of your choices. We liked ~ breakfast @ Tusker, dinner @ Boma and breakfast @ Kona. Not fond of Planet Hollywood. It has been years since we've been to CRT, Akershus or Coral Reef, so I can't comment. We've never been to your other choices.

It looks pretty good. I would also say that we aren't huge fans of Planet Hollywood. We're doing T-Rex in DTD (non-DDP) b/c DD is a huge dino lover. I would reconsider so many buffets, unless that is the type of dining you prefer. We like a good mix of regular TS and buffets. And we did not like the food at Coral Reef, but haven't been since 06 so hopefully its better now. I would consider Garden Grill dinner at Epcot, great character interaction and the restaurant revolves! And the food is great.
