Newbie Needs Dining Advice, Please!

[JustGottaGoDisney]

Okay- this is our first trip. We have already decided not to do AK this time around- we just don't have the time.

B/C of this change, there are now ADR's I have to cancel and will need to make new ones if possible-

Here's where I am at and your suggestions would be great! FYI: We are staying at CSR and we are on the dining plan.

Monday- Thinking of Beaches and Creme for dinner while touring the resorts

Tuesday, Dec. 6 - MVMCP- doing counter service at MK for lunch and dinner unless better suggestion is offered.

Wed., Dec. 7 - Epcot - Need a breakfast and a lunch suggestion - Have a 6:20 ADR for the CP, but am going to try to get in earlier b/c we realized we would like to do Spectro Magic at 7:00

Thurs., Dec. 8 - MGM/ Little more Epcot- Need a breakfast - Doing 50's for lunch and Garden Grill for dinner unless I move GG to Wed. night. Trying to be able to see tree lighting at 6:00 and Illuminations at 9:30.

Anyways, thought things were settled and now we are back up in the air! Help! I'm confused!

ON your Epcot day, maybe an early breakfast at Chef Mickey's (Contemporary) or Ohana (Polynesian), and then monorail it over to Epcot.
When we go to Epcot, we usually snack through the World Showcase and skip a full lunch.

i personally would not waste a ts on beaches..maybe go to spoodles if you can, it's in the same general area as beaches if you want to go to those resorts.

you have a lot of park hopping for such a short trip which does waste time. sooo i would do epcot thursday day and night and probably eat at le cellier, beirgarten or if you want garden grill. i'd eat breakfst at the resort early pre epcot as not a lot is open for breakfst.

then do mgm weds and 50s for lunch. then if they don't have specto the 6th either go see that or really i probably would skip it and stay for fantasmic. i like spectro better but you would have to leave mgm by 5:30 to go and get a spot which is more time lost imo (or in all truthfullness i'd skip mgm and do ak then head over to see spectro but that's just me . )

then go to cp on mk day for one of your meals and do cs for the other

an alternative would be go to mgm the morning and early afternoon before the party, eat 50 lunch and mk cs dinner ( the 6th). then do more mk the 7th with spectro and cp for lunch or dinner. epcot is lots bigger than mgm and you need at least a full day & evening there
