PS's for Aug trip. Opinions please?

[3PRINCESSMOM]

Here is the deal: 10 of us traveling, 3 moms and 7 kids (4-15). We have decided on one PS per day.

Arrive Tues, 8/17 AM [7:30 AM flight out]
Epcot - late lunch (3:00) at Garden Grill (1st park day tradition)
Wed, 8/18
MGM - lunch Mama Melrose (niece's choice)
Thu, 8/19
MK (EMH) - late breakfast (10:20) CRT
Fri, 8/20
[BB or TL daytime] / MK - Crystal Palace dinner
Sat, 8/21
1900 Park Fare breakfast
Sun, 8/22
Fantasmic Dinner @ H&V
Mon, 8/23
Epcot - lunch Japan or Morroco

We figured 2 of each meal, then a bonus lunch, for budget reasons; not to mention that afternoon breaks work out great for us.

So, what do you think?

Looks good to me! You've picked several places that we're planning to eat, I'd love to hear reviews when you get back!

Looks okay to me. Maybe we'll see ya at Crystal Palace on the 20th. Here's hoping they make it an E-night.

Do you have reservations already?
I just tried out the PS Calculator and was bummed to see I'm past the 90 day mark. Not sure what to do.

sandy feet, we planned a spur of the moment--well sorta--for my husband's b-day in august. i was able to get all the dining i wanted including breakfast at cindy's. i was past the 90 day mark. go for it!

Does the Garden Grill serve lunch at 3pm? I have a PS for the ice cream social at 3pm and I didn't know if they serve both at the same time.

I'd recommend Restaurant Marrakesh for your last dinner over Japan. We were pretty disappointed in Teppanyaki: our chef was boring and the food was bland and overpriced for plain chicken, rice, and vegetables.

Call and try anyway!!! Unless you're looking for CRT, you may get the places/times that you want. Or at least close to the times you want. I called today for a couple of PSs for our trip and got what I needed.

I asked for the last lunch seating at Garden Grill, 3:00 is the time they gave me. I am going to double check on this. Thanks for the heads up.

I would surely like Marrakesh better, but my sister is insistent on this one. I did do most of the planning, so I have got to give a little, LOL. I put it at the end intentionally so that perhaps after checking both out on earlier Epcot days, I will eventually get my way. I'm only a little evil!

The Garden grill was good - my kids liked the atmosphere. Crystal Palace is deceiving - it looks expensive from the outside but not too bad - great for kids with the characters and even the prices (all you can eat buffets) We always went there during the lunch hours - it goes until like 3 or 4 I think - it was a LOT cheaper! Good luck
