My 180 window opens next week so preparing for that. Here is what I have so far: trip is November 2-7 , me (32) DD4 and DM (62).
Arrival day (flying) DME , check in (BLT) Dinner at Ohana
Day 1 AK EMH in morning, lunch Tusker House, Dinner 1900 PF
Day 2 Epcot EMH in morning, lunch Akershus, dinner Coral Reef
Day 3 MK morning ADR at either CRT or CP, lunch QS, dinner ??
Day 5 MK EMH morning, lunch BOG FP+, dinner ????
Day 6 , breakfast Chef Mickey then depart to airport

Any thoughts / feedback / ideas appreciated!,,
We are skipping DHS this trip since it's a short one.
 
Day 3 - I wouldn't waste early morning time for a breakfast at MK. I would rather do CP for lunch or dinner around 7pm and use early park time to get 2-3 rides with less crowd. than schedule FP+ for the afternoon / evening time.

Day 5 - same thing --- BOG, CRT, CP - either lunch or dinner.

also - look at Coral Reef menu and pics and see if you will be happy with it.

Day 1 AK EMH in morning, lunch Tusker House, Dinner 1900 PF - I suggest Breakfast at Tusker house, CS for lunch, the dinner at 1900 park Faire - I would not want 2 large meals back to back..

Day 2 Epcot EMH in morning, lunch Akershus, dinner Coral Reef - Again I would split up the larger meals Breakfast at Akershus, lunch CS and Dinner at Coral Reef or Garden Grill -

Day 3 MK morning ADR at either CRT or CP, lunch QS, dinner ?? - We love breakfast at CP not so much lunch or dinner - Maybe a late lunch at LTT, we prefer the selection at lunch to family style in the evening. For us this is a really heavy & hearty meal. Then a CS later on.

Day 5 MK EMH morning, lunch BOG FP+, dinner ???? - For dinner what about heading to one of the resorts for dinner - like Boma and check out the animals. or DTD - rain forest, T- REX or Raglan Road - or I also would think about Chef Mickeys for dinner great way to end the trip with the fab 5 -

Day 6 , breakfast Chef Mickey then depart to airport - I would do something closer to the resort for breakfast, so that you might get a few more minutes sleep, and for me I would not want to feel rushed or worried about time if you are late getting to and from resort or being seated on time.

Have a magical timepixiedust:
 
I have to disagree with the PP about breakfast in MK (at least for non EMH mornings). Try for the first seating at CP or CRT. I absolutely love having these pre-park opening slots since you can have a nice breakfast without wasting park time and you get to see a much less crowded MK. I also think both of these spots are best at breakfast.
 

Guess I should have clarified a little better in my OP :) guess that's what trying to type on your phone while multitasking does.

Here is what I have so far: trip is November 2-7 , me (32) DD4 and DM (62).
We are staying at Bay Lake Tower at the Contemporary , renting DVC points.

Arrival day (flying) DME , check in (BLT) Dinner at Ohana

Day 1 AK breakfast in room, EMH in morning, early "lunch" at Tusker House which will actually be the last breakfast seating, Dinner 1900 PF

Day 2 Epcot breakfast in room, EMH in morning, lunch Akershus (again, "lunch" actually the last bkfst seating), dinner Coral Reef

Day 3 MK pre-RD morning ADR (earliest avail) at either CRT or CP, lunch QS, dinner ??

Day 5 breakfast in room MK EMH morning, lunch BOG FP+, dinner ????

Day 6 , breakfast Chef Mickey at contemporary then depart to airport

Hope that clarifies my thoughts better, ideas for those 2 dinners?

:thumbsup2 Looks good!!!!!
 
I think it looks great, and some really yummy choices :)


I think as far as how many sit downs people book, really depends on why they are taking vacations.

Park People do really well with a few TS and mainly CS, this is what we did last time and it didn't really work well for us.


Foodies (that's us) tend to spend a lot of time doing TS, we have 23 booked for a 8 day stay :)
 
My family likes to have one day with no AdRs, so the only change I would make is to put BOG on day three (either a late lunch or early dinner) and then day 5 we would eat in the Park.

This is how we are. My kids like eating at restaurants and it is a good, fun break for them from all the craziness of the parks. We do 3 TS a day, breakfast before park openings, and it works perfectly for us.

I think that OPs plan sounds great.
