Our Dining ADRs- opinions welcome

[jeannief]

Hi Everyone, here are the ADRs I've made for our trip in May. I'm also looking for good CS suggestions for each park, if you have any that already haven't been posted here. Thanks to all for the nformation on this board... it's been invaluble in my planning!
Information on us- second trip to WDW, DH, me and 2 DS 5 and 6. We did Chef Mickey's last year for breakfast and liked it, but the kid's dinner menu didn't appeal, I was trying to pick places where there were a few more options for the kids other than chicken fingers and mac and cheese.

Saturday dinner: Mama Melrose: at MGM
Sunday Breakfast: Donald Breakfast at AK
Monday Dinner- Kona at the Polynesian Resort
Tuesday lunch- Garden Grill at Epcot (character lunch)
Wednesday dinner- Hoop De Doo Revue show at Wilderness Lodge
Thursday Dinner- Concourse Steakhouse at the Contemporary
Friday dinner- Coral Reef at Epcot


Also, days we go to Kona and Concourse we'll be at MK. How long to get to either from there? I know the Contemporary is on the monorail, not sure how to get to the Polynesian.


thanks!!!!!

Saturday dinner: Mama Melrose: at MGM

The only thing I would suggest (and that's my preference only), is that I would go to Sci-Fi Drive In with them instead. Great burgers and shakes ;-)

We were disapointed with Mama Melrose....

My opinion only!

Enjoy your trip!

The Poly is also on the monorail - from the MK, take the resort monorail to the Poly.

Sunday Breakfast: Donald Breakfast at AK
Monday Dinner- Kona at the Polynesian Resort

Is your dinner at Mama Melorose's a "Fantasmic Dinner Package"? We're eating there also for a FDP - I hope it's good! We're also trying Donald's Breakfastasauras & the Garden Grill for the 1st time in June! I haven't eaten at any of the other restaurants listed either, but Hoop De Doo gets wonderful reviews - should be lots of fun! You might even consider changing it to your last night for a "last night" experience. The Coral Reef looks like a fun restaurant too - I hope it to try it next year w/ our kids.

Looks like you have some good choices!!

Thanks Chanty. We looked at Sci-Fi but friends ate at Melrose and loved it, and I figured we'd do burgers at a CS. I think MM is a "love it' or "hate it" type of place based on the reviews... fingers crossed!
Wendi, thanks for the Poly tip... I was thinking it was a boat ride. We did not book the Fantasmic package, I figured that a 6 pm ADR would give us enough time to get out and find a decent seat on our own. Fingers crossed since it is a morning EMH at that park that day, so will most likely be more crowded. We have another free night and hoppers, so can go back there if we don't get good seats.
We booked Coral Reef for our last night thinking the "final" experience would be the Illuminations show. We fly our EARLY the next day. But I like the idea of doing a show on the last night for next time. (shhhh, don't tell DH I'm already planning a next time....)
