not enough, too much, just right--character dining

[amyj1024]

we are taking our trip in October, we will be there for 4 days, I have 2 character meals planned, Chef Mickeys and Princess in Norway-- If I added one more would that be too much?? Just looking for opinions-- my kids are 5 and 1--and I figured this is the best way for them to see the characters.
Also I can make my ADR's on Friday, I was just planning on doing the CM then...and wait till my other table service meals closer to travel, or should I make the ADR;s now? My only problem is that I am not positive what park we will be in on each date yet..
Advice please!

I think two is perfect for a 4 day stay. We took our 3 and 1 year old last September for a full week and we did those exact two character meals and one more. It was great to get the princess and mickey and character autographs out of the way at those two meals. And my girls LOVED the meals. That being said, they are a bit hectic (especially the buffets where you are trying to get autographs, take pictures and grab meals for all the kids from the buffet). Plus, the two meals you have planned will cover a lot of the more well-known characters for the ages of your kids. I don't think you want to plan too much time in long meals with only 4 days to spend in the parks.

We are going for a week, 5 days in the parks. Our kids are 5 and 3 and we booked 1900 Park Fare for our first day and Chef Mickey for our last day. That will definitely be enough for them, especially my son who is quite shy.
