Who is telling you that your choices are not good? If you are happy with them, then that's ok. You have Ohana for breakfast and dinner. You have BBB. You have 1900 PF. So, your choices look varied and good for you.

Could you do H&V breakfast (or even brunch)? It was fine...I have heard not so great things about the lunch.


You could do Askerhus for breakfast on your Epcot day and choose somewhere not character related for dinner and then skip breakfast on the last day

H&V has a breaky open that day yes, and I've asked my agent if i can just change stuff myself and play around just let her know the ressie numbers for itinary etc.... don't want to step on her toes but if I can save her some time then so be it. Less a pain for her. I personally would prefer more breakys than dinners so the other suggestion you have sounds good also, we'll see what she says, any other suggestions welcome, thanks.

I think they sound great! You'll get to see pretty much everybody!! I, too, prefer breakfasts, as I've found that stopping for a sit down dinner eats up a lot of park time. So I try to do half breakfasts (early) and half dinners.

I've never been to the breakfast, but I've heard that Goofys breakfast at Cape May Cafe is fabulous. I LOVE their dinners, but those don't have characters.

top and bottom is that for every restaurant one person loves another will hate (if you have a family like mine every mealtime is pretty much one person's fave and the other's hated fayre).

CP/Akershus and Ohanas are all family favourites with us. Personally we detested the food at 1900PF but loved the characters.

It's why I always hesitate to make recommendations here or to our friends.

Go with an open mind and enjoy - my mantra is if I don't love it then it gives me an excuse to try something different next trip

 

[Susan595]

great advice thanks, I have decided to for sure change both those to breakfasts, just waiting to hear back from my agent on whether I can do it myself or have her do it, I hate being a pain to her i know how many of these she is doing and how busy she is.

From my perspective, the only thing that looked iffy on your list was H&V (I didn't enjoy my lunch there). But, I like the food at all of the other places. Akershus Breakfast is a favorite, but I have not been for dinner.

 

[DisneyTravelers2008]

I think your ADRs look great. We have been to all of them except H&V and CP. The BBB day looks like a fun line up...

Think I should change my ressie for TH to an hour later ? My thoughts are who knows how late we'll be at the halloween party and if by chance she decides to sleep in for the first time EVER or is a little slow moving the next morning do i want to be rushing to get to AK for 830 ? I was thinking 10am breaky instead of 905am? IF its available that is, I sent the request into my agent to change the H&V to breaky and also Akershus as well as change the hour for TH waiting to hear back from her.

My kids like to sleep in at WDW. We are not rope drop people. We do mainly breakfast buffets and never before 9:30am. But, that is what works best for us. As far as your choices, I think they are great. Ohana breakfast is a favorite of our family! We have only done CP for dinner and really like it!

Have fun!

 

[Susan595]

ya I don't want to be rushed more than anything, so being there at rope drop isn't an issue with me either, or so I think who friggin knows just when I think I figure something out there is something else to think or wonder about ha

I know isn't it crazy. I'm the same way. My DH has to yell at me to "let it rest!" But, alas, I am a total type A and that whole rest thing just isn't for me so I continue to obsess. I just love when friends of mine come home from the 1st and only trip and say, "I don't know why you obsess we were able to see and do everything and we don't need to go back." Really..I have been over 20 times and there's still things I haven't done. Oh well...to each their own I guess.

I like your reservations. The only thing I would change is H&v for breakfast. We did lunch and it wasn't the greatest. that being said, my 4 yo DDs LOVED the character interaction but have said they don't want to go back because they didn't like the food. Chef Mickey, we did breakfast and it was not hot but can't comment on dinner.

Other then that, we have the same reservations that you have. We really like Ohana breakfast and dinner, Akershus dinner, 1900 PF dinner and CP breakfast. My girls still talk about our October trip and those character meals. We did rope drop every morning except for HS which the girls wanted to sleep as they were soo tired. It was right in the middle of our trip.

Obsessing about ADR is my life. I second guess all the new restaurants all the time and of course I question if I picked the right time for each ADR. My Dh simply rolls his eyes at me every time. We are 11 days out and have once again changed all our reservations around. It's only been the million time that I do that since 180 days out.

go have fun and don't worry about the rest. If one restaurant is not the greatest, the next one will be better.

Arrival day Chef Mickeys 625pm Haven't been, but have heard this is a great way to see Mickey & Freinds.Sunday Hollywood and Vine 1235pm Haven't been, probably just because we aren't big fans of DHS and those characters don't apeal to my kids. If your kids love them; I'm sure it will be great!Monday Crystal Palace 450pm My family loved this.Tuesday Akershus 510pm We also loved this.Wednesday Ohana 510pm We're looking forward to trying this on our next vist.Thursday BBB at 1pm 1900 Park Fare 430pm then the MNSSHP afterwards. 1900 Park Fare is probably my girls' favorite TS. The characters are wonderful there!Friday Ohana 905am

My comments are in red above. I think you guys will have a great time! We aren't the family that will wait in line for character greetings so we love the character interaction at character meals. Have a wonderful trip!
