Not interested in making ADRs, will I still be able to eat table service?

Markstudy...you hit the nail on the head!

Wouldn't it be hilarious if there was a Disney guidebook along those lines...kind of a "choose your own adventure" (remember those??)

First, you would select which kind of Disney visitor you are from your list above, and then turn to page X, where advice and instructions are available that would exactly match your "style".

Of course, on page 194, your two choices would be:

You have been turned away from your third TS restaurant and have spent approximately 92 minutes searching for something to eat in the park and are now arguing with the members of your party as your four year old whines about being hot and hungry.

Do you...

A). Opt for an individual pizza at Pinocchio's or eat a hot dog at Casey's for the second day in a row...

or

B). Go back to page 1 and select something different for your vacationing style and begin your vacation again.

I don't want to eat "Fast food" the whole week, but I also have no idea what kind of ADRs to make or where. So I'd rather not be tied down to them. Any chance we'll still be able to get lunch or dinner at a TS as a walk-up? I know there are some popular restaurants that will not be possible. That's fine, I'm not going to Disney for the food. But I don't want to be stuck at CS the whole time either. We'll be there April 18-25. So the week after Post-Easter week. Hopefully it won't be too terribly busy then.

We never make ADR's and we always eat TS. usually 1 a day. Here are my tips.

1) when you wake up each morning call disney dining. They always have some thing open. Be flexible, they might not be the popular restuarants like Le Cellier but in 13 years of going I've never not been able to find some thing. I've eaten at a lot of great resort restuarants that I probably would not have tried this way.

2) be flexible with time also. Of course 12:00 noon and 6:00 pm are going to be sold out. Have you ever tried eating a late lunch say 3:00 pm. We love it because usually by dinner we're just hungry enough to skip the meal and head right to a big dessert.

3) don't do walk ups.

I'm headed down from 8/16-8/26 I only have 1 adr and I GUARENTEE I'll eat quite a few TS
