Strict Plan or Organized Chaos on DDP?

[Astingel2016]

My family is taking our first Disney World trip in November the week of Thanksgiving (I know, busy time but it was either Thanksgiving or Christmas!). We have already booked our trip and have the dining plan. There are four of us, the youngest will be 13 when we go. Previously I had set up a strict plan of where we would eat and when. But after reviewing some things I thought maybe that was a bit much. So now I've taken it down to just planning for our table service meals. For quick service we'll just decide where we want to eat when we get hungry and with the dining plan we could theoretically eat at different places if we wanted to. My question: Is this plausible to do? The strict plan felt like too much but I don't know if maybe I'm not planning enough when it comes to food. Thoughts and suggestions on this would be incredibly helpful! Thanks in advance!
