I got all my ADRs for our October trip last week but then we realized that we can do one more TS meal with our DDP credits (must have mis-calculated somehow!). We will have a car, so transportation concerns are not much of an issue for us (unless we just get lost driving around, which tends to happen from time to time!).
Here's what I'm thinking - one of two times:
1) We will be DHS on 10/21 - they close at 7 pm and have Fantasmic at 7 pm (and yes, we have to do Fantasmic this trip because we've skipped it the past 2 trips and it is DHs favorite show). I'm not clamoring for a TS meal at ANY restaurant in DHS (it is my least favorite park for dining) - but, I would consider it IF we could get a reservation AFTER Fantasmic. I'm not holding my breath for that (since I'm sure the last ADR time would be park closing time, right?). Any other TS offerings where you might recommend a late seating? I had thought about trying to go to a monorail resort so we may catch Happy Hallow-Wishes, but I'm afraid we'll get there too late - probably 8:30'ish (it a MNSSHP night at MK also).
SO...that brings us to option 2:
Our last day will NOT be spent in any parks - we are doing the photo shoot at GF (don't know what time yet) and the Perfectly Princess Tea Party from 10:30 to noon. We could either try to do a TS breakfast somewhere (perhaps Chef Mickey's or 1900 Park Fare) -OR- we could do a TS lunch after the tea party...maybe the GF Cafe, Whispering Canyon, or anywhere that takes DDP at DTD.
Any thoughts/insights? Or perhaps a completely different option I haven't thought of? We would prefer NOT to have dinner before Fantasmic because we aren't getting to DHS for rope drop already - but I suppose we could also consider a Fantasmic dining package...any recommended ADR times for that?
TIA if you've managed to read this far!
ETA: We are staying at AS Sports - our other TS meals throughout the week will be at Ohana (breakfast), LTT (dinner), CRT (breakfast), and Le Cellier (dinner). I'm not a picky eater, but DH is *totally* unadventurous. I think ESPN club might be right up his alley and I didn't realize it was at the Boardwalk!
