So shocked!

[GAGirlInVA]

Today was our 180+10 ADR day.

I mosied online around 6:15 and of course (!!) the Disney Dining site was super slow.

But I managed to snag Be Our Guest for our arrival day!!!!

Shocked.. I figured I would have use to use the +10 advantage to get it and it'd have to be towards the end of our trip.

I grabbed it.

Fantasmic package wasn't loaded yet. So I grabbed Brown Derby that night, just in case.

And then my planning came to a screeching halt. It had taken 45 minutes for 2 reservations.



So I called in. And got someone that had drank about a gallon of coffee this morning...

And got all the rest of what we wanted right around the times we had written as estimates.

But I couldn't think on the fly.. because *I* hadn't had my coffee (and was running on less than 3 hours sleep!) and now I have two Be our Guest reservations (the one arrival night and the one further into our trip.)

I feel bad.

So now I'm trying to figure out which one to give up and what to try to replace it with.

What would you do?

The first thing to figure out is whether or not you'll feel up to going to a park on arrival day. When does your flight get in? Where are you staying? If there is a possibility that you might not feel up to it I would cancel the one on arrival day. However, it might also be magical to have first meal there!
Congrats on getting a res (or two, lol)

We have an afternoon flight picked and we always go to a park on arrival day and departure day.

Sigh...I just dunno. We had planned on a quick service dinner, a few rides and then fireworks from the Poly.... but I dunno!

I do think that a nice dinner would get our trip off nicely.

These are the ressies I got:

Be Our Guest dinner

Hotel Breakfast
Sci Fi- Lunch
Paradiso 37- Dinner

Tusker House- Breakfast
Yak and Yeti (sit down)- lunch
Kona Cafe- dinner

The Wave- Breakfast
ESPN is walk in only unless a championship game... - lunch (DH's pick!)
Coral Reef- Dinner

Snack for breakfast
The Wave- lunch
Be Our Guest- Dinner

Kona- Breakfast
Quick service or snack lunch
Hollywood Brown Derby- eaaaaaaarly dinner (took what I could get)

Akershus- breakfast
Snack around for lunch
Yachtsman- dinner

Crystal Palace before Rope Drop
Quick service lunch
Start going home.

Personally, I would not keep BOG on arrival night. You never know what could happen and you could get seriously delayed on your arrival. If that happened, the chances of getting a last minute ressie for later in your trip could be pretty slim. Your dining choices look pretty awesome! we tend to hit the same spots except Via Napoli and Raglan Road are on our must do lists. Have a great trip!

Same here...

I'm still not sure what to do!

There is a great chance that our flight will be morning/early afternoon, so I'm not worried about my BOG the night we arrive.

I just don't know.

We've started eating much healthier and now I'm starting to second guess everything. I'm down 15.4 lbs so far! (And still have quite some time before our trip!)

We have the first direct flight out of Richmond on arrival day.

We should be on property while breakfast is still available!

Still no idea what we are doing with these two ressies.
