Reservations a must??

[Kaseys412]

We're planning our 4th trip to Disney sometime between August and November (I hope... unsure of when hubby will get his vacation) the only thing different about this trip.. we'll have our two little ones with us
LOL.. anyway, due to tradition and personal choice of atmosphere.. two places we HAVE to eat, are Planet Hollywood and Rainforest Cafe.. they're a must. Should I make dinner reservations far in advance? I've had pretty long waits and these restaurants and waiting an hour with a 1 year old and 4 year old, then trying to get them so sit through a meal...
I've never been down there end of summer/fall so I wasn't sure if crowds were a little easier to handle... I was there in Jan and we still had an hour wait at Planet Hollywood.. I love to walk in but.. with little ones I'm thinking I should plan better.

Bumping this for those who have been to either place and can offer some advice.

When we go with kids we make character breakfast reservations only....they seem to respond better to them and actually eat food! With the dinner TS they were antsy and didnt like the food so CS worked out better for us.

I would absolutely make reservations..cannot imagine going to WDW withouth them

When we were at WDW 2 years ago, they told us that RFC and PH didn't accept ADRs, that must of changed since then. This is good to know, since we were kindof thinking of going to PH sometime while we are there, we have never been to that one and we always thought it would be really cool to eat there.
