Need advice and a few ?'s

[dreamin_disney]

With the fall code deal i went ahead and got dining plan. Now my head is spining trying to figure out what to pick.

this is our 1st time going to wdw and if we ever go again the ddp will be more expensive because dd(9) will be considered an adult and it wont be worth it.

Breakfast buffets table services
which is the best dd isnt really into characters so if there are character and the food is good even better. We want good food and good choices.
-crystal palace
-1900 fare
-chef Mickey
-any other must tries except for bomas

do the above choices have a vareity of choices? DD does like lilo and stitch but the food selection seems plain /simple


are there free refills on counter service drinks? If i get a counter service breakfast do we get 1-2 drinks per order?


i'm trying to organize this on a spread sheet and its so hard. any advice from you Dis experts?

one more i will be using the bus system what adr's should i get for breakfast, and dinner? The cm told me to get early dinners so i can head back to the park for the shows fireworks ect?

is there a schedule i can printout of the times of the shows/fireworks -kinda like the magic hours are printed. TIA!

All the places you listed for breakfast have a variety of food choices, so no worries there. Food quality is also good at all of them. Breakfast is well, breakfast, and hard to mess up. Not sure about counter service drink refills at WDW as I don't recall ever asking. Some places at DL (we're AP holders) do allow refills.

Go to the WDW site and click on calendar. To find the parade and showtimes, click on the day you will be at that park. To find the Extra Magic Hours, followed that link.

We usually only schedule 1 breakfast per trip, (we usually have breakfast snacks in the room, CS for lunch and TS for dinner) and we choose our restaurants for a variety of reasons... the food, the characters, the atmosphere, etc., sometimes we just want to check out a certain resort. It's been awhile since we visited the ones you've listed, but I recall being satisfied.

If you didn't purchase hoppers, remember to make your ADR's in or near the park you will be visiting each day.

Well, all of the character meals you have listed are very popular places and can be hard to get an ADR at even if you call at 180 days out. Your ADR window opened up in mid May, so I would get on the phone as soon as possible and see what they have available for the dates you will be there. For example, on the day you will be at MK ask the Dining CM what they have available in and around MK (meaning resorts close to MK) and see what she has available. That may make it easier for you to plan your park days. Hope this info helps and ya'll have a magical vacation.

Thank you all for the info.

Being my 1st time at wdw should i make ressie early or late? I think some of the parks close around 7pm-8pm during the time i will be there.

I want MK to be the 1st park we attend. We are thinking of crystal place but I'm worried if we get to stuffed it will slow us down. Anyone have pictures of the cP buffet and 1900 fare ? Then again if we like thses we might want to make a 2nd ressie for another day
