I am trying to figure out my dining a little early. My group will be big sis and bil, and my hubby, me, and our ds. He will be 18 months old and I want to do a character breakfast. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? DH and I did Crystal Palace when we went a few years ago and enjoyed it. TIA!

Our last trip DD was 15 months old. She had no clue who any of the characters were, but she loved Crystal Palace! She also liked Chef Mickey's! =)

She didn't really care for the "face" characters since they just looked like regular people to her I guess!

Chef Mickey's is a great place to eat and Donalds breakfast at Tuskers house at AK.

I'm still trying to figure out my park days and how to work my meals into those days so we're not jumping around everywhere (eventhough we have parkhoppers).

 

[pooh4evr]

Joining- Sept 27-Oct 7 ASMuFS == worried about crowds!

 

[tsme]

We're going back!!! DH is going book it tomorrow for mid Sept. I'm so excited! Now I have to figure out ADRs. :yay:[/SIZE]

 

[lindap1]

OMG!! I am sooooo confused! How do you figure out what parks to do what day and how the heck do you parkhop??

Well you pay for Park Hopper tickets.. which is a little more, but sometimes worth it! I like to have them for the ease of going where I want to when I want to, and with Park Hoppers you can go to all 4 parks if you were so inclined in one day! I like starting out at HS and ending at Epcot. I also think AK is not a full day park so I like being able to park hop to get to another park! You just pay for Park Hopper option whichever way you want to get tickets!

I also paid for touringplans.com.. they give you info on past attendence and forecasted for your dates so you have an idea where to go to avoid the big crowds in any given day!

Good luck!

I am trying to work out my ADR schedule for now I am going by last years TA Calendar then when this years Sept park hours come out I will just have to make minor adjustments. Link to TA Calendar below.



http://www.disneytravelagents.com/StaticFiles/DTA-Domestic/pdf/ParkHours/WDW_Operating_Calendar_Sept.pdf

Disney tends to run certain events on the same park days year after year, ex: Fantasmic on Sun and Thurs, same with Party nights at MK, etc etc so you can get a good idea of just what this coming years park hours and events might be by reviewing last years calendar.

I also buy Touring Plans and he already has the crowd calendar for September 2011 but expect it to change as we get closer to September.

Another good site is easywdw.com and it is free, you can see last years calendar there and his predictions for last year plus it has tons of other usefull information on the site

I too think buying park hoppers is well worth the added cost, I to do AK only half day, and I like the freedom to go to say MK in the morning , go back to my resort for a mid-day break and then go to a different park in the evening for dinner. It comes in handy to if you get to a park and it just happens to be too crowded for some reason you and pick up and head over to someplace else.
