Not so Patiently Waiting...advice please?

[fallen_angel727]

So...I still have 129 days until I can make my ADR's for our July honeymoon trip. We're staying 10 nights 11 days at POP (for now...I may have talked DFi into upgrading to moderate )

Anyway here's my current ADR list...tell me what you think? The dates may change depending on EMH and Fantasmic! days but the meal/park combinations will remain the same...this is what I'm aiming for

July 19 - arrive at hotel meal will be OOP
July 20 - DHS: Sci-Fi Dinner (lunch depending on F!)
July 21 - EP: Tokyo Dining Lunch (OOP); Coral Reef Dinner
July 22 - AK: Donald’s Safari Breakfast
July 23 - MK: 'Ohana Breakfast
July 24 - Typhoon Lagoon Day: Late dinner at Planet Hollywood (DFi's choice)
July 25 - probably DHS(am)/EP (pm): Biergarten Dinner (DFi choice #2)
July 26 - possible AK (am)/MK (pm): Liberty Tree Tavern Dinner
July 27 - Sea World: Boma Dinner
July 28 - probably AK(am)/DHS(pm): Kona Breakfast
July 29 - Home: Crystal Palace Breakfast @ MK before departure

I've gotten some criticism on the CP breakfast on our departure day even though we plan on spending part of the day (a few hours at least) at MK before we leave...so what do you all think should I keep it here or switch it to our MK day and do 'Ohana on our departure day?


One other question...you can start using your dining credits as soon as you check into your hotel right? For example if we check into POP at 6pm we can eat at the food court for dinner and use 2 CS credits?


Getting a little worried here...pretty worried that I won't be able ot get any of my ADR's

If you can get a reservation between 8 and 8:30am you should be fine for that day. Any later and you'll be taking a bite out of your MK touring. (Although, depending on how the other days go, it may still not be a big deal). Ohana (7:30-8:30ish) would also be acceptable. Of course, if there's AM EMH this day, it may make a bit of a difference, so that's something to watch out for.

As far as the credits, you are correct. They will become active as soon as you check in and then expire at midnight following your check-out.

Unfortunately, I really have only been to one of your restaurant choices for the meal you've chosen (we have done Kona for dinner and Boma for breakfast, but you have them K=breakfast and B=dinner). We went to Coral Reef for dinner but it was in March 2008, so several years in between.

One question though. Being as this is your honeymoon, have you thought about going to one Signature Restaurant for something special? You'd have to rework your plans a little and either pay OOP for another meal or get rid of one for the TS credits you have. But being that you're on your honeymoon, you might enjoy at least one slightly up scale meal.

I understand if money simply won't allow for that. But the Signatures we've eaten at have really stood out so I feel they're worth it, at least once per trip. Hope you enjoy your choices though, whatever you decide!

I would ditch some of the breakfasts. It seems like most places serve the same thing so unless you & your DF are big breakfast eaters, it would get boring. There are so many wonderful dinner choices in a wide array of cuisines. Of course, we're not big breakfast eaters so... Actually we've never eaten any TS breakfasts. We always pack food to eat in the room in the morning - pop tarts, granola bars, honey buns, etc. Regardless, you'll have a magical honeymoon. What a great way to start your marriage!!
