I only made a couple dinner reservations, Chefs de France on 7/4 (lol) and Space 220 lounge my last night on 7/5. Not sure I'm keeping the latter tbh. I really wanted to secure something at Epcot for 7/4 since I was unsure about crowds but for the most part I think I'll be hitting up lounges that weekend. I tend to do fewer ADRs on my solo trips since I find I do more snacking.
My family has become creatures of habit somewhat...every trip has to include ohana sanaa and homecomin'...and biergarten just for me. my adrs are Monday...maybe steakhouse 71 this time...or backyard BBQ. Don't sweat it though...when you get there all of it will open up...or what happens is you will just depend on snacks and quick service with a couple sit downs..satuuli...yorkshire....Baseline.. Polite PIG.. there is so much indulgence.
Ps. Mama melrose was always a staple on our trips with the Fantasmic package. Going to miss it dearly.
We made a couple of reservations - not sure if we'll add or not. We've got a late Homecomin' on our first day, Kona for dinner on the 3rd so we can possibly catch the fireworks from the beach, and an early 1900 Park Fare on the 4th before we have to head to the airport. We've talked about adding a couple others but we haven't made any major plans yet. We may play dining roulette and see what's available on a couple of day.
We are doing a no Disney parks trip while staying at Fort Wilderness and 1 night at Poly. I booked HDDR since we have never tried it and it will be super easy this trip while at the campground. I also booked breakfast at WCC. We only been there for dinner. We usually do at least one character meal but DS is now 10 and I’m having a hard time wanting to pay adult price for him.
Hoping to add on some other dining but will see what’s available when we are there. Looking to try Splitsville for lunch and maybe a breakfast at Kona? Would also love to get Ohana noodles at Tambu Lounge but our 1 night at Poly is July 3, so I’m sure everything at Poly will be slammed.
My family is just now deciding to do an impromptu trip this July ahead of our land/sea adventure in November. We’ll be staying July 8 - 15 at Pop Century, our first time staying there and our first time going in July!
ADR day for the first half of my trip (AKL kidani). Two adults and 2 kids (although the 12 year old is laughably a Disney adult). A reminder that if you have a split stay there are 2 ADR days via the website and app..I think you can call in and do the whole trip with a CM.
Got everything I wanted.
Sanaa dinner
Boma breakfast
Garden grill breakfast
Biergarten
Boathouse brunch.
Ohana dinner.
I expect this will be pared down when the boots hit the ground.
The 2nd half (Boardwalk) will most likely be more quick service oriented (as it is just my son and i).
We are coming on a girl’s trip July 19-25! We will be staying at All Star Sports. It looks like we will be at Magic Kingdom for the first night of the new parade! That was definitely not planned, but I’m glad we will get to see it.
