review our plans please?

[hollybearsmom]

We are thinking about doing a quick trip early this summer with dining. Our first time on the DDP! It's four days with the salute tickets, so one park one day tickets... Thoughts are arriving late on Saturday afternoon, ASMusic or POP... Grabbing a resort refillable mug...3Adult 1 Child credits (kids 11 and 4)

Sat: drive down and afternoon arrival, pool time, CS dinner at resort, head to DTD for Lego, WOD, and grab some snacks from Goofys

Sun: CS breakfast at resort, Epcot early, cs Lunch at either Sunshine Seasons or the Mexico cafe or maybe both...can we get 2 meals at one and 2 meals at the other? French Bakery for snacks to share and Ice Cream Bars for 2 snacks, Maybe tsdinner at Nine Dragons (we ate here last trip and loved it---where else should we try if not this....willing to go out to BW area to eat somewhere if it is better and then come back in for Illuminations later)

Mon: Quick breakfast in room with snacks from yesterday and some poptarts maybe, head to DHS for rope drop, go back to resort for afternoon break at pool and eat CS at resort for lunch, (is it possible to feed us all on 2 cs and 2 snack credits?) then dinner will be either 2 more cs meals at resort or out of pocket as we have no real plans this night and we don't like anything at DHS beyond the cheeseburgers - and saving TS credits for other meals

Tues: TS Crystal Palace for breakfast and then MK day, Ice Cream for 2 snacks, and Mn St Bakery for 2 snacks (cinnamon rolls to be exact), thinking of either early evening break at resort with ???for dinner plans cs at Pecos Bill maybe, or CHH? what's better in your opinion?

Wed: Snack credits for breakfast at resort, AK day, CS Lunch at Yak and Yeti or Pizzafari, or both, and then go to FW for the campfire and movie this night, using cs or snack credits somewhere (where?) in Campground for quickie dinner

Thurs: ts Chef Mickeys for brunch, check out and then do DTD, ride monorail, play puttputt golf, etc and go to the luau for dinner using up our last TS credits. **This is pretty much the must do of the trip as it is our anniversary dinner, and a redo of something we did on our Disneymoon and my dh only request for the trip. Staying this night off property

I believe that credits don't expire until midnight when you check out, is this correct? If not, have to move Luau to Wed and do FW on Thursday night.

We appreciate your ideas for these plans and for sharing credits/eating at two places, etc. thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Should I consider 50s Prime Time?
Should we go to Cape May Cafe breakfast?

Should we not use our credits for snacks at Goofys with all the restrictions?

We tried Le Cellier for both lunch and dinner for Epcot day and there are no openings as of right now...

and I was just reading a pre-trip report, and that reminded me that dd will be graduating from middle school just before our trip and it might be nice to get her a special cake for one meal....anyone try this successfully, order ahead or just get the ones they have premade on hand?

An idea for Tuesday is maybe start the day with a small breakfast.. poptarts or cereal in the room then get the latest breakfast ADR at Crystal Palace you can so you can enjoy breakfast and lunch offerings. More bang for your credits

thanks kiwi, I hadn't thought about moving it to later....off to check for times

okay, we can change this to early lunch at 11:35am...so breakfast in room, hit the rides at rope drop, eat early - go swim early, rest maybe, and then back to park for cs dinner and then fireworks hmmmmm? thoughts on this new plan?

Talk about an carefully planned trip. You are almost as obsessive as I am. I stop just short of planning the restroom breaks.
