Need opinions on my ADR's

[mla973]

We will be booking our ADR's tomorrow for a September trip. Trip participants are just DH and I (both 27). We will be paying for the Dining Plan. Here are the TS restaurants we are choosing. Any opinions/suggestions? I guess my only concern is that it sounds like a ton of food!

O'hana (first night dinner)
Sci Fi (lunch)
Le Cellier (dinner)
Breakfastasaurus (breakfast!)
Whispering Canyon Cafe (dinner)
Cape May Cafe (dinner)
Chef Mickey's (dinner)
Crystal Palace (last day breakfast)

Thanks!

I think your choices look great! I do have one suggestion, although you're probably already planning to do this. It looks like you'll be having lunch at Sci Fi and dinner at Le Cellier on the same day. If that's the case, I'd make lunch as early as possible and dinner as late as possible.

Eat drink and be merry!!!! Sounds like you plan quite well, plus remember that you will wear off all that food just running to the restaurants anyways and honestly there are no calories when you are on vacation. Have fun!!!!!

You've made some great choices. These are some of my favorite restaurants. The only two I haven't tried are 'Ohana and Le Cellier. These are on my "must do" list for next time.

Those look like a nice variety of choices. You didn't post the days with those so I assumed they were on consecutive days. So with that in mind, it looks like you have a Chef Mickey's just the nigh before your CP the last day. I might make one switch and break those two up. Make Chef Mickey's your first night's dinner and move Ohana back into where you have Chef Mickey's the night before the CP breakfast.

Your selections look good to this frequent visitor to The World. When I make my meal reservations I make them with an eye to where I plan to be in the park at the time I want to eat. There are only two ways to do that methinks:

(1) You can plan daily itineraries based upon which attractions you want to experience, considering walking time and the amount of time you wish to spend walking, crowd levels, and the like; and THEN make meal reservations based on your itinerary.

(2) Or, you can make meal reservations based upon where and when you want to eat, and THEN make your daily itinerary based upon where the attractions are located in relation to the restaurants on the park map.

Depends on which you hold to be most important, attractions or meals. But to not consider both ahead of time is to invite a disorganized day and big-time loss of time.

Don't forget to include show times when using either of the two options.

Personally, I prefer the first option; but to each his own.

Enjoy.

I love Sci Fi- shakes (regular or "adult" ) and burgers are delicious!!!!! Atmosphere is THE BEST.

Never done Le Cellier, WCC or Breakfastosaurus, but I do have an ADR for Le Cellier this summer.

Cape May Cafe was great- mashed potatoes and oreo bon bons were most memorable. Peel and eat shrimp and clam chowder were good, too. Walk around the Boardwalk before or after dinner, maybe even catch some fireworks!

Chef Mickey's was decent for breakfast, but I can't comment about dinner.

Crystal Palace was excellent- loved the Breakfast Lasagna and esp. the Puffed French Toast! Wow!!!!!!! Next time I may eat *just* that! Characters and servers were enthusiastic and this was an allover stellar experience.

I was really really disappointed in the changes at 'Ohana (We used to LOVE it!) and I wouldn't go back again at least with the current menu. The wonton chips were greasy, hard and flavorless, the stir fried vegetables were practically raw (and I am a veggie lover) but they were inedible and the Hawaiian sausage was like cheap, bland bologna. I *do* LOVE Kona cafe and with the creative desserts, chocolate sculptures and unbeatable fresh seafood, and amazing coffee, I would much prefer Kona.

I would also suggest that since it's just the two of you, you might want to replace one place (maybe Chef Mickey's?? or WCC? ) with a more romantic, adult oriented restaurant. A lot of your choices will be child-oriented or character meals, (coconut races and hula hoops and 'Ohana, characters and napking twirling at Chef Mickey's, more characters at Crystal Palace, all sorts of antics at WCC, and more characters and improv at Restaurantasaurus) and a romantic place- Citricos, Bistro de Paris, Artist Point, Jiko, Flying Fish Cafe, Shula's, etc. might be enjoyable.) Only you know what you like, though, so this is just a suggestion. I know I'd need a break to enjoy a quiet adult meal.

Anyway, the rest of your ADR's sound great and I hope you have an awesome trip. I'd read up on 'Ohana and Kona and see if the switch sounds good to you, though.

Have a great vacation!
