Need TS for Epcot, GF, or BC/BW area?

[ms_mckenna]

Ok our first night we have an wishes cruise leaving from GF. I know I probably should not have done it our first night because of the plane issues but it was my only choice so we will be praying for the best. We had other plans but we changed hotels so I hence I need to change my plans. We have nothing else planned for the day. We need someplace to eat dinner before the cruise. My kids are very mainstream food kind of kids so nothing to out there. I would prefer to have a plated TS not a buffet but I am open to whatever. I am also leary about adding another character meal because we already have way to many lol. I only am considering 1 dining credit TS's.

As far as location we are staying in BC so anything in the BC/BW area will work. We are going to go thru Epcot to pick up DS's GAC so we do not have to deal with it the next morning so we could eat there. From there we will take the monorail to GF so technically we could eat anywhere on that line but I would rather stick to where we are actually already planning on going. With 1900 park fare I am thinking that may not be the best idea because we already have 2 other "princess" dining experiences and DS may revolt on me if I add another.

Here is the TS where we are eating so far:
Spoodles (a maybe)
'Ohana (breakfast)
CRT (breakfast)
CP (dinner)
Akershus (breakfast)
Coral Reef (dinner)
Chef Mickey (dinner)
Mama Melrose (dinner)
Beaches and Cream (dinner)

So what do you recommend and why? TIA.

I would probably pick a World Showcase meal. You don't really have one except for the princess meal. You'll be there anyway so why not. Then you can just hop on the monorail over to the GF.

Is your plane getting in early in the day? I'm just wondering if you will have enough time to do what you want taking travel time into consideration too. Also, there could be a line at guest services and take awhile to get the GAC for your DS. Maybe a CS would be faster/easier? Just a thought. If it were me and I had enough time to do the TS I would stick to one at the BW/BC/YC area or one at the GF. So for me it would either be Spoodles or 1900 Park Fare. 1900 PF because there is bound to be something for everyone in your group that they will like and Prince Charming is there and the mice too not just Cindy. The other 2 Princess meals you have planned are breakfasts so it is a little different. I also feel 1900 PF is great for a boy and girl. I say Spoodles because it would be convienent and we have always liked it and so do our kids. They also get to make their own sudae for dessert which they love to do.

Here's a link to both menus:

Ya we should be ok on time our plane touches down at MCO at 11:11 so I am assuming we should be at BC by 3 (riding ME) or am I being to positive about it? We were in and out getting a GAC last trip really quickly under 30 minutes. How long should I prepare for?
I am about 75% sure we will be eating at Spoodles the next night for dinner. Unless DS wants to ditch that ADR and eat at Beaches and Cream for his birthday.
Eating at 1900 Park Fare would put us at 6 character meals for 8 days. Even though they are older my DD loves all the characters and DS likes all but the princesses, but do you think that I am going to get really tired of eating with so and so? My other concern is we will be there during the rehab if we do it I do not want that to take away from the experience.

My first suggestion was Kona, incredible food and service just a monorail stop from GF. But I know you mentioned that you wanted to stick to where you were already going to be. Based on that my other recommendations are LeCellier and Rose & Crown. Both are in the WS and are wonderful restaurants. All three of these are must do's for our family.

Happy planning!
