Need help with Novemeber ADR's

[merrymouse1]

Hi all, I was hoping you all could give me some advice for ADR's for November. We will probably go with the regular dining plan as we have three kids 14, 12 and 8 and will get the most for our money this way. We will be in the World Nov 11th arriving early and leaving Nov 17th leaving late. We will be celebrating our anniversery on Monday Nov 15th so keep that in mind also. Here are our park plans for the week:

Thurs Nov 11th MK
Fri Nov 12th MGM (yes, I still call it MGM)
Sat Nov 13th Epcot
Sun Nov 14 AK
Mon Nov 15th is a toss up maybe Epcot or MGM?? Anniversary day
Tues Nov 16th MK
Wed Nov 17th AK or DTD or whatever, departure day 7:30pm flight

So I am totally overwhelmed. I do not know where to even begin. We would like to do as little hoofing around for food as possible as we are big ride people. So keep in mind proximity to the park we are at etc. I know this is asking alot but who better to ask then the foodie experts

More about us, my kids are really past the age of character meals so not a huge draw for us but would be a big no no either. We are traveling with 3 neighbors and possibly my sister and kids also so we plan to do the Hoop Dee Do on Tues night Nov 16th. Right now we are at 18 people which could balloon up to 21 if my sister comes. Im thinking of skipping the MVMCP as like I said earlier we are more into rides then parades etc.

One more thing, I have never been to disney when the parks close so early. I was thinking of making our TS for lunches as we have done in the past but with the parks closing so early this would eat up a bunch of our ride time. Is is really hard to get TS after the parks close. And what the heck can we do at night????

We would love to try to new places this time. We have been to the following places:

Epcot: Japanese place (where they cook in front of you) dinner
That place where maybe Turtle talk is where you walk up and order, cannot remember the name??? for lunch

MK: 1900 Park Fair for cinderalla dinner
Caseys--lunch
Cosmic rays--lunch
Pinnochio--lunch
AK: Boma-dinner buffet
Tusker house--lunch

MGM: 50's prime time --- I think--lunch
Mama Melrose-- dinner

I'm sure we ate at more places than this but it was 4 years ago and I cannot remember....

Thanks so much for all your help in the past and I hope you can help me now as I have no clue.

I'm sure you are aware that your 180 day has already opened up, right? You need to decide ASAP which ADR's you want, especially for any meals that will be a large party. Check out allears dot net for menus. They list the restaurants by park and resort.

We are going in late November. I first decided which day we were going to do each park and then picked one TS for each day. If the parks are closing early on certain days, why not use your CS for your lunch and then maybe check out some resorts in the evening and have dinner there. Or DTD?

Hope that helps
