I think we're finally happy with our ADR's. Anyone care to critique?

Notes: it's me, dh, and dd (4); free dining for 6 nights.

Day 1:
-breakfast at Ohana
-dinner at 50's primetime
Day 2:
-bbb
-lunch at CRT
Day 3:
-dinner at Ohana
Day 4:
-breakfast at Akershus
-dinner at Via Napoli
Day 5:
-breakfast at Crystal Palace

We have 8 credits booked and only 6 to use which is fine but if I were going to cut one of these, which do you think it should be?

That looks great.

You will have to decide if the character meals are most important to you, if they are, then cut out Via Napoli sp? or 50's PT.

If the character meals are not the most important, then personally I would cut O'hana bkfast. Especially since you are already eating dinner there.

For a 4 yr. old I would keep all princess meals and CP.

I know a lot of people love it, but personally I was not crazy about O'Hana breakfast, other than the characters.

I would cut 50 PT and Via Nopili. There is a ton of amazing CS options at epcot.

Even though it gets rave reviews, I was thinking Via Napoli should go for that very reason.

DD really likes LILO and Stitch (plus it'll be Mickey bright and early on day one) so we will likely keep the breakfast. I know it's a lot of character meals and I've gone back and forth with myself quite a bit but ultimately, this is DDs trip so I think I'm ok with it. =)

If I had to cut something from that list, with a 4y/o in my party, I'd cut 50's PrimeTime. Second choice, Via Napoli. I personally wouldn't cut any of the others.

If you were going to pay for one OOP definitely do Via Napoli. You can't share a pizza on the Dining Plan so instead of having a lot of wasted/leftover food you could probably just pay for one pizza and that be enough for all of you. You could also get an appetizer if needed or get a dessert from somewhere else in EPCOT.

I would cut 50s Prime Time and Via Napoli and I really, really enjoy Via Napoli. You'll have to use up your CS credits though and Epcot has some GREAT CS options. My favorite is the fish and chips in England, but we also really like the CS in Japan and Morocco. Get snacks in Germany and France, you will be super happy.

I couldn't cut the character meals on a 4yo and 'Ohana dinner is my favorite.

I would keep them all and pay for CRT OOP.

Looks like fun. Although, I do agree on cutting the 50's. Our DD was nearly 3 in February when we went. I know nearly 3 is not 4, but we live in Chicago so DD's pretty used to going out to busy restaurants, noise, and people. She did NOT like the CMs "yelling at Daddy" (he didn't do something small they wanted him to and they loudly let him know) and so we didn't get to eat. She wanted to leave. Now. She just didn't get the humor. (They were totally cool about it btw and reassured us it "happens all the time.") It was our only bad experience, and we were totally caught off guard because we were only thinking fun and milkshakes.

I didn't see any Hollywood and Vine reservations. My kiddo LOVED meeting Doc and Sofia and dancing with them. There's a ton of dancing and interaction plus the Disney Junior show after in HS was so fun too. I know a lot of people aren't thrilled with the food there, but we are pretty foodie and still found our brunch there to be one of our better character meal breakfasts. We're really looking forward to going back there in November.

Have a great trip!

Thanks, y'all. I'm going to contemplate this a bit longer. Paying for CRT OOP is a good option too. I'm also now really leaning towards canceling Via Napoli since by getting delicious CS options, that frees up some ride time before Illuminations without sacrificing food quality, lol.

You know, when we first decided to go to Disney this year, I was like, NBD! We get a hotel, buy some tickets, have a great time! And now I have a 15 tab spreadsheet broken down by day, time, and park, I know more Disney acronyms than I even knew existed, and I've become a daily lurker on this site. I've come so far...

Isn't it funny how that happens? You start by just thinking a fun vacation. Then, you become addicted. Is there a withdrawal program for when you leave? I might need help
