Hi everyone,

Could you tell me what you think of the following plan and ADRs:

We arrive (myself DMother and DD (10)) from East Coast of Canada on Sunday Nov 25/07 and leave Sunday Dec 2/07. We're booked at the Beach Club Resort. This is our first trip!!

Sunday - arrive 12noon (if all goes well with plane)
No ADRs made 'just in case' flight is late
Thought we'd hang by the pool and eat a big mid afternoon lunch at Beaches and Cream(OOP) or Hurricane Hannahs(CS)and maybe chck out MGM in the eve (EMH).

Monday - AK. ADR for 5:15pm at Rainforest Cafe (my daughter's first choice to eat anywhere in the WDW!). Unfortunately Tusker House will no longer be CS at this time so we need to find somewhere else for bkf and use CS at lunch somewhere in this Park.

Tuesday - MGM. Thinking maybe ABC Commissionary for late bkf here to use CS credit. Have ADR for Fantasmic Package at Mama Melrose (TS) for 4:10pm (what a sweet deal to not worry about waiting in line for Fantasmic show! - my first choice in dining).

Wednesday - No park day! We'll need rest and a day to explore DownTown Disney. Have ADR for Cape May Cafe (TS) at 8:30am (right at our resort) and another ADR for Planet Hollywood (using $15 voucher given when we booked) at 3:30 pm. We then have tickets for Cirque de Soleil for 6pm (top choice for my daughter and myself of things 'not to be missed' while at WDW).
Can't wait to hit Goofy's sweet shop!!:woohoo:

Thursday - MK. We have an ADR for Crystal Palace (TS) at 10:05am (EMH advantage) and then ADR for Cinderella's Table(TS) at 5:20pm. Then it's off to the X-mas party. Not sure if we'll do CS this day but will definetly be looking forward to using snack credits somewhere.

Friday - Epcot. Have ADR for Akershus bkft (TS) at 8:50am (my favorite choice for my daughter) and another for The Garden Grill (TS) at at 6:10pm. Again not sure if we'll use CS this day. If we do I'm thinking Cosmic Ray's.

Saturday - No Park Day! ADR booked for Spoodles (OOP) for 9am and then we're doing the Mother & Me spa package at the Grand Floridian at 1:30pm. They assured me we'd be out by 4pm and will walk to the Polynesian for the Spirit of Aloha show at 5:15pm (already paid for via the magic of Visa).

Sunday - Not sure where we'll eat in the am (maybe just room service as we have to be at the airport for 11am. Going to depend on time and how much credits we have left!


As you can tell, TS were not a problem using up (big thanks to this Board for encouraging booking ADR's in advance - got everything we wanted) and I don't think snack credits will be a problem either. CS on the other hand may not be all used up. Oh well, so be it. We'll still be eating fine all week and what a relief to have everything booked and paid for before we go (with the exception of some OOP that I've already built into the budget).

My attitude is we'll see and do all we can seeand do, and what we don't so be it!

Can't wait to go!!!:rotfl:
 
Have you looked at www.allearsnet.com at the menus? They show all CS place to eat. In Epcot you can go to France to the pastry shop I believe and get a sandwich, drink, and dessert for CS. WE like to eat CS in Mexico. You have booked a lot of Princess stuff--are you up for that much? My DD loves them to.

If you are trying to use CS I think I would choose Hurricane Hannahs say it would already be paid for and not have to use another TS for BOC.

Crystal Palace I love. We also liked Mama Melrose. There might be an option at your resort for CS breakfast. It might be like a drink and pastry. I know at MGM at the pastry place (Starring Rolls) there you can do this--I think it is 2 pastries and a drink.

Good luck.
 
You might want to change Friday's plan. You are eating breakfast and dinner at Epcot and are talking about going to Cosmic Rays in MK for lunch? Seems like you might be wasting valuable park time? You could probably just eat a snack for lunch since you have a big breakfast and lunch planned.
 
Everyone is different and enjoys different things, but when we go we never plan free days. Park time is valuable to us. We can always swim at home. When we get tired, we have early days where we might swim right after and early dinner then hit the sack. I would just rather be in a park doing my favorite thing again than getting my hair done. But, like I said, everyone is different - It's all good. :dance3:

I'm gonna have to edit this - I thought by "free days" you ment stay at the resort and swim. I just realized it meant go where you want.

Hope you have a great time!
 

Are you on the Dining Plan?

I was thinking that you couldn't use a table service credit at Rainforst cafe. Someone please correct me, but I thought I read somewhere that they didn't participate in the DP.
 
Looks like a nice plan with some good choices. I'd recommend Flame Tree BBQ for a CS in the AK. Were you mistaken about Cosmic Ray's on your Epcot day? The food court in the Land is a good CS option, with lots of choices. Enjoy!
 
Looks great - I'd also suggest for CS at EPCOT Sunshine Seasons in the land pavillion.:thumbsup2
