Ps's - which places do I need them for?

[mommyof2boys1girl]

We are in DL April 29th to May 6th, (ie 'off season') and I am wondering how important it will be for me to make ps's for our meals. We are doing two character meals, which I plan to make ps's for (I know, I know, should've done it weeks ago ....), but, for example, if we are planning to go to the Plaza Inn on a Friday night around 5:30 or 6 for dinner, are we gonna be waiting in line forever? Just how busy are the restaraunts? Should I make ps's for everywhere we plan to go, just in case?

The only reason I hesitate to make too many ps's is because I am not sure I am willing to commit to eating at an exact time. We sort of 'roll with the punches' as a family when we are out together - if the kids are hungry at 4, we eat at 4, if they've snacked all afternoon, we wait and eat at 7 - it all depends on our day.

What do you guys think? Ps's galore, or just wing it??

Well, you can't get a PS at Plaza Inn for dinner because it's counter service, so that takes care of that one.

Most places in DLR are counter service, so if your family prefers to not keep a schedule with meals, then you'll be fine.

We're going on May 1-5 and I was told (when making reservations for Blue Bayou) that for Cafe Orleans, Carnation Cafe, Ariel's Grotto, Breakfast with Minnie, Dinner with Goofy etc. it is better to make reservations..... so I did. Other people have mentioned getting a table without them. I figure it's better to be safe than sorry.

You can always make some as back-ups and then try to change them when you get to the parks if it fits your schedule better. At least you will have something to fall back on if the park gets busy.
