This or That: Toddler Edition

[Jing]

We are a family of try-anything eaters and hoping our now 18-month boy's foodie palate sticks around for our October/November trip. We have DDP. Please help with some of our indecisions!

Arrival Day: CP at 3:45pm or Biergarden at 6:15pm or QS in park/CSR (noon arrival, DME to CSR, it's a MNSSHP night)

MNSSHP: 1900PF at 4pm or CP at 5:55pm or Cosmic Rays/Pinnocchio Village QS

Halloween: Tusker house for 6pm dinner and FTB for lunch or Tusker House 11:15 lunch and FTB dinner (would bring a take-out container)

Akershus: Noon lunch Wednesday and pre-park opening Breakfast the following Tuesday or just one visit (my son knows the name of every girl in his daycare class and loves kisses - I'm in trouble)

TIA!

Our 18 month old loved both CP and Biergarten- maybe CP a little bit more- but dancing to the band at Biergarten was a huge hit for him. For HP day I would do 1900PF. I gave to admit for us we love doing TS with our little guys- it's a great break and less chaotic. Either way- enjoy your trip!!

Ouch, I think you should get to CP, but neither of those times are ideal to me. Too close for comfort for me personally on arrival day and too late on MNSSHP night. Moving arrival day CP back an hour or two then doing 1900PF on MNSSHP is best (though I have to warn you my own lover boy was TERRIFIED of lady Tremaine and the stepsisters at that age)

Halloween: Option 2 is more flexible, I think.

I don't think eating at Akershus 2 times is necessary at all. I would do the one that works best for you, time wise.

We are also taking our 19 month "foodie" son to WDW in October/November with restaurants every day thanks to free dining. Just hoping he keeps up his good behavior in restaurants!

We do have CP for a pre-park breakfast on our last day, though hoping to trade it if BOG gets extended. To be honest, Winnie and the gang is for my hubs more so than Mr. Littles!

I will cross my fingers for you too! That is part of why we are hedging our bets with mostly AYCTE restaurants. Sometimes he is a gentleman for a 2-hour dinner and sometimes he acts his age.

I would say Biergarden. The CP is cutting it a little early with a noon flight arrival.

MNSSHP: 1900PF at 4pm or CP at 5:55pm or Cosmic Rays/Pinnocchio Village QS

The better time for MNSSHP is 1900PF.

Halloween: Tusker house for 6pm dinner and FTB for lunch or Tusker House 11:15 lunch and FTB dinner (would bring a take-out container)

I would just do what you think works best for your touring & eating style. For US, it would likely be TH at 11:15, because there is a chance we would be done with AK before 6, so we could leave when we were ready without worrying about an ADR.

Akershus: Noon lunch Wednesday and pre-park opening Breakfast Tuesday or just one visit (my son knows the name of every girl in his daycare class and loves kisses - I'm in trouble)

2 Akershus is bit much for us in 2 days.
