Rookie here, how do these ADR's look?

[TaraStephenson]

Day one - Coral Reef at 4 pm
Day two - Teppan Edo at 4 pm
Day three - Brown Derby at 6 pm
Day four - The Crystal Palace at 4 pm
Day five - Prime Time Diner at 5 pm
Day six - Boatrights at 7 pm
Day seven - Sci -Fi at 4:30 pm
Day eight - San Angel Inn at 6:15 pm
Day nine - Biergarten at 6:30 pm
Day ten - Wolfgang Puck at 12 pm (eating early, have to fly out at 4 pm)

I have picked these places due to where we will be spending the evening...ie, like if we are going to be in Epcot, we chose Coral...

Any suggestions or opinions?

Thanks so much for your time and trouble!

Boatrights may not be such a good idea...I have never had a good meal there.

What time do you have to be at the airport? You might want to consider a TS breakfast on your last day instead of a 12pm lunch.

 

[TaraStephenson]

Flight is at 3:25 pm so thank you, better make it breakfast then, any suggestions?

 

[TaraStephenson]

I just booked Ohana at 11 am, that should be enough time to eat and get to airport?

 

[wvaspartan]

Yeah you should have plenty of time.

Are you using Magical Express? If so, your bus will pick you up 3 hours before your flight. You may need to make your last ADR about an hour earlier.

In various posts you've mentioned flight times of 4, 3:25 and 3. If you are using ME, you will be picked up at your resort approximately 3 hours before your flight time. Unless you're staying at the Polynesian you will need to factor in time to get back to your resort as well as retrieve any carry on luggage.

If you're not using ME, you might be able to shave a little time off, but you still need to allow for travel time to the airport and enough time to get through security which may or may not be backed up.

All in all, I think an earlier breakfast reservation would be better on your last morning. The 11 AM reservation will definitely be too late or cutting it extremely close for a midafternoon flight.

Not a fan of Mexican food so we've never eaten there. The rest look pretty good (glad you got rid of Boatwright's -- had a horrible meal and service there).

 

[TaraStephenson]

We are using ME, we are staying at POFQ and our flight time is 3:25, sorry about the multiple times, was generalizing...

Have you tried Chef Mickeys? it's really good.

Would not schedule a breakfast for 11:00 a.m. when you have to be back at POFQ by 12:25...it can take an hour or more to get from one resort to another. Even if you walk from the Polynesian to the TTC (about a 10 min. walk) and catch the POFQ bus from there, could still take you an hour...the absolute best case scenario would take you 50 minutes: 10 min walk+20 min wait + 20 min ride. Even if you're seated on time for 11 ADR, there's no way you'll make it back to POFQ in time for ME...you'd be lucky to make it back on time even if you take a cab from Polynesian to POFQ. We have waited 30-40 minutes for a resort bus from the TTC - in the middle of the day. I believe Disney even tells you to allow 60-90 minutes to get from resort to resort. And getting seated right on time for your ADR is wishful thinking...just doesn't happen all that often. Usually it's within 10 or 15 minutes, but when you have to be back to POFQ around noon...well, that'd be mission impossible.

If I was trying to use up a credit on departure day, I'd schedule breakfast no later than 9 a.m. Then you have plenty of time to get back to POFQ, even if you're seated late/just miss the bus, etc.

If you miss your scheduled ME from POFQ, chances are you'll be paying for a cab to the airport because they probably will not be able to get you there in time. The reason they schedule them at least 3 hours before your plane departure is to make sure they get everybody to the airport at least 2 hours before flight for security/baggage checks. They don't wait - if you're not there, you're out of luck.

Just wondering...are you on the dining plan? If so, just wanted to point out you have scheduled more meals than you will have credits for. I'm seeing 11 credits -- Brown Derby if 2 TS credits per person. If you're there 10 nights, then you're 1 credit over - you'll only have 10 credits. But if you're actually there just 9 nights/10 days you will only have 9 table service credits...credits are allotted per night in hotel, not how many days you'll be on property. If it's really 9 nights, and you're on dining plan, you're 2 credits over your allotment so either need to drop 2 restaurants, or pay cash for 2 of your choices. Just so you know - would be a rude shock to get to the end & be out of credits when you didn't expect it.

Day ten - Grand Floridian at 9:45 am or CS if Grand Floridian isn't gonna give us enough time (eating early, have to fly out at 3 pm)

Flying in late the day before so we get credit for that, right? And I take it we don't have credit for the day we are flying out? So we should eat at counter service then on day flying out? Any suggestions if we are staying at POFQ to get back for ME to get to airport for our 3:25 pm flight out?

yep, will do CS, not enough credits for TS since we are eating at The Brown Derby...

We usually stay at POFQ. For our last morning we always head to Downtown Disney for some shopping and lunch. You can either take the boat or bus, and it is very close to the resort.

Woflgang Puck Express gets great reviews, as does Earl of Sandwich. Both of those are CS locations. We love Cookes of Dubland. Yummy fried shrimp.
