My adr day was today too. Only thing I didn’t get the day I wanted was cake bake shop. I got everything else. I almost always change things before I get there and even after I am there though .

My ADR day was today, too. We had a very good lunch at San Angel Inn today and I wanted to make sure that I reserved for our trip in February.

You can probably get the Cake Bake Shop reservation on Open Table if not right now than closer to your date.

Well I didn’t set an alarm at all and figured when I got up I would check availability. I went ahead and reserved a 1900 park fare breakfast for my MK day. If I keep it I’ll not get to do early entry but since it’s most likely going to be deluxe guest extended hours it’s fine. I may not keep it. It’s a new one I’ve never tried and I like that the characters are face characters so they will let me video them saying his to my grand kids. So that’s the only reason I booked it. I also booked an afternoon slot at Oga’s. I live Star Wars and although I do t drink alcohol I did like the non alchoholic drink I got last time I was there so I’ll have to remember what that was lol.

My ADR day is tomorrow! I'm not likely to have anything too difficult to get, as we'll just be doing two breakfasts (on at Ale & Compass, and one at Cake Bake Shop), and one dinner at Le Cellier. Otherwise, we're aiming for snacks, FARTS booths, and counter-service. Seems like I'll have to wait on the CBS reservation until we get closer, as they don't seem to have anything 60-days out at the moment.

ETA: Also going to aim for a late evening Oga's reservations. We're giving it another shot, as we were not super-impressed in January 2020 when last went.

I was able to get an A&C breakfast, Le Cellier dinner, an Oga's evening AND a Space 220 lounge evening. There was no Cake Bake Shop breakfast availability the entire week of my trip--I'm guessing that's a common thing at the moment? I'll keep an eye out on Open Table a month away. I grabbed a La Creperie breakfast as a placeholder just in case.

I noticed the Disney on Broadway packages have just been announced. Anyone planning to book one? We've already got so many ADRs, and I'm not sure if it's worth adding another one for this. Do the shows usually fill up early? We don't really need good seats, but we'd definitely love to get to one.

We were able to get into the Candlelight Processional on Thursday night and we only had standby. I would think that you could get into the Disney on Broadway shows without a dining package.

I have made all of our ADRs and managed to get everything we wanted. None of the restaurants are hard to get into, but I got the times I wanted too so I am satisfied.

Hi February crowd! Has anyone gone during President's Day week before? We will be there four day park days Monday 02/17-Thursday 02/20. I know from crowd calendars that it is one of the busiest weeks at Disney. Any advice on which day to go to Magic Kingdom? Touring plans predicts Monday 02/17 will be lighter there but that doesn't make any sense given that it's a long weekend for a lot of people.

I've never been that week but hopefully someone else can answer your question.

We’ll be there that week along with some friends. It’s President’s Day at the start of the week and RunDisney Princess Weekend at the end, so I expect it will be wall-to-wall people every day at every park. I would pick your park day based on what works for you, for instance if you’re purchasing lightning lane multi pass, you will have better luck with selections if you visit MK later in your trip. I tend to pick my park days based on where I can get the reservations I want or which ones have deluxe extended hours or after hours events.

Heading first week of February; anyone know when I should expect the park hours to be updated? Usually MK is open later than 9:00 for example.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I learned that the day we are flying to Orlando is the day of the Pro Bowl, Feb 2nd. Now I know why airfare never dropped. That could mean that the airport will be busy.

 

[WWWD10]

Doing a split stay for this one! So two days ago made my first dining reservations, Tusker House, Ohana and Skipper Cantine. Tomorrow have to do the rest, fingers crossed!

I have to say I am a little worried, I did not realize when booking for February that it would be so crowded, was thinking of not doing any LL for AK but now that I know it's going to be crazy may be I will do LL for all four parks </3

My ADRs open tomorrow and I don’t know what to reserve for MK day! It is a 3 on crowd calendar for our MK day and we plan to stay for fireworks, but arrive a bit later in the morning so we don’t burn out before fireworks. DD gets overwhelmed by big crowds and I thought we could do sit down meal. We don’t like the turkey stuff ourselves vibe of LTT nor price point of BOG. Plaza has mediocre review. I’m afraid of getting sick from buffet food and touching serving spoons at CP. skippers might not be our type of food for cost. Tony’s? We don’t want to leave park time to eat elsewhere. Should we do QS for lunch then early dinner? Thanks for the help!

We really enjoyed Skippers last time! We also ate at Tony’s and it was a lot better than it used to be so maybe worth a shot?

We have two MK days and do Skipper's on one and Crystal Palace on the other. We did Cinderella's Royal Table last time which was fun but a one-and-done (and also kind of loud). Check out the menu for Skipper's and see if you can find things you like -- there are definitely some less adventurous items (the cheesy bread for one!) and it was nice quality food. But echoing the good things I've heard about the new Tony's menu!

With a daughter who also gets overwhelmed, having a break to sit in the relative quiet and have a structured meal was really important. Also, noise-cancelling headphones!

We've had very good food at The Plaza restaurant. Our table earlier this month had a great view of the castle. I was able to watch the little castle lighting ceremony that night from my seat. It is a very small restaurant, so it was more relaxed than most of the other places we have eaten

Yes, she has the noise-canceling headphones, which I think will help. Thank you!
