Should we change the time of our ADR? PLEASE HELP!

[ahill004]

Originally I wanted an early dinner at MK before MVMCP but since just about everyone else does too I didn't get it. I did get an ADR for all 6 of us at LTT for 7pm. So, I guess we could walk around the park from 4-7 and do rides and then do Christmas stuff AFTER 8 or so (when dinner is done).
What do you guys think? SHould we keep the current ADR? Try for an earlier time? Or eat before 4:00.
We do have a late ADR for Cape May at 10:50 that morning. And we do have a 2 and 4 year old. What do you guys think? HELP!

When DH and I go to a party we always get the last seating available at CP before they close that way when we are done eating the party is just starting.

Personally I dont like the menu at LTT so I would either eat at the monorail resorts around 5 or any other TS in MK or say the heck with it and grab counter service at Cosmic Rays.

Personally I think you should change your ADR. We had a 6:00PM ADR for LTT prior to MVMCP once and missed part of the party. We came out of the restaurant to get a good spot for the parade, which had already started. It justed didn't make sence to me to be eating during a party that I'd paid extra for, and I don't have a problem with paying extra, just didn't think eating was an appropriate use of time. You could try for an earlier ADR (4:30 or 5:00) at Kona, WCC, The Grand Floridian Cafe, 1900 Park Faire, or any of the other monorail (or boat to the WL) restaurants.

You're paying good money for the party, and it only lasts 5 hours... try to get an earlier ADR and eat before the party starts.

We have a 5:30 ADR at Kona (we do not have kids) becuase I like to show up at the gates just around 7pm. We are going to MK just for MVMCP, and we want to be able to stay up and enjoy the whole party. IMHO going when it first starts is better than being in the park too early and then getting too tired before all the fun really starts. This will be my third MVMCP and DH's first, and we want to stay right until midnight.

I would recommend an earlier ADR so that you can enjoy the fun right from the start! It is not worth going if you spend all that time eating when you can do that anytime. Good luck!

Ok - I was afraid I'd made a mistake booking so late. I am going to keep trying to get an earlier time or maybe I will even try to eat an early dinner at Plaza or a late lunch at one of the monorail resorts. Hmmmm... GUess I should see what is available first! Wish me luck!

YEAH!! I just called and they were able to push back my Cape May b-fast to 9:05 and then got us a l2:45 lunch at Crystal Palace in place of the 7:00 dinner at LTT. If anyone in the family is still hungry after TWO buffet meals in one day then they can grab a quick snack in the park!! Like cocoa and cookies!
I feel much better now! Just have to hope we get our Candlelight Processional Packages for everyone!
