Question for the pros...

[princessreilly]

I was wondering if this is going to be doable?!

On MVMCP day of my trip I have these ressies:

2:20 lunch at Crystal Palace(thanks to a diser on trade boards)
Then after the party I have LTTdinner at 8:50.

I really want to do both and I'm not sure if I should do lunch at CP -
then go back to the room for rest before MVMCP. Or rest all day then go straight to CP ressie up until the party?

Is that confusing?
What do you think?

Are you bringing the two little ones in the picture? If so, I recommend going back to the room for a well-needed nap after CP. Then, go back in for the party. This will be beneficial for two reasons:
1: the lines at the kid friendly lines get longer the later in the day you get so if you get there early you won't wait in line as long for Dumbo for instance

2: you will get the park visit in, have a nice lunch, and then, when you want the kids to really enjoy the party, they'll be well rested and alert.

I have gone to Disney many times and I remember always leaving the park, going back to the room to rest and eat dinner (before DDP) and then go back to the park for the nighttime festivities.

Hope this helps.

I would skip LTT--- you'll be wasting time in the restaurant when you could be enjoying the party.

I would do CP and then get a quick service dinner.

Confused by the question. This time is during the Christmas party (7PM-12midnight). We always rest before a party, but usually eat before so we don't spend party time in a restaurant. FWIW.

I would not plan two all you can eat meals that close together. Also, would not eat a long TS meal during the party.

I would do the CP lunch as your main meal, go to resort swim and rest, and then come back for party and eat CS beofre it starts.

I agree.

It's a huge waste of park time to sit down for 2 TS meals during a party.

Thanks for your responses. We will definately be doing the nap because the little ones are going. The plan is to stay at the pool until lunch at CP, then nap then MVMCP and break for LTT. If I skip a ts meal I don't want it to be LTT because we've never been there and they're taking out characters soon. Maybe I should try for an earlier time.

If anything I would try for an earlier time for CP. I think you are going to be stuffed if you eat 2 TS close together. If you could get an earlier lunch you could go back to the room relax and nap for awhile then come back for the party, maybe get a small snack and then buy the time your ADR for LTT comes around you will be ready for dinner and another break.

I would take LTT earlier, it is a long meal with characters, and giving up valuable party time with your little ones, when lines are way way low and so you can get them on rides easily.
