Day 2: Lunch at Be our Guest
Day 3: Lunch at Tusker House (ROL)
Day 4: Dinner at Boma
Day 5: Lunch at Mama Melrose (Fantasmic Package)
Day 6: Dinner at TREX
Day 7: *Garden Grill PPO (8am)
*Via Napoli 6:30pm before illuminations.

Thanks in advance!
 
Great choice for Garden Grill!
Though, depending your plans for Epcot on day 7, sometimes it's best to have that reservation being a bit after opening so you can get in Test Track line multiple times or get to Joy & Sadness before the huge long lines. Then you can relax, use your FPs a bit later ^_^

We have done this method (mostly Test Track) and found it works well. Though, we are 2 adults.

Edit: We are doing this method in February. We have a 9:40am reservation for a 9am park opening. Will go to J&S first, then, if time, Test track, then our ADR ^_^

Thanks! I'm a bit confused by what you mean though. I'm planning on scheduling an 8am breakfast and the park opens at 9am. So we were hoping to be at the front of the line for soarin and then test track right after. Would that work?

We are FP+ frozen because my toddler can't do soarin or TT and both she and my preschooler love the frozen songs :)
 

I thought lunch at BOG was just okay. I had the turkey sandwich and didn't get anything on it but the turkey. It just seemed kind of plain to me and the fries were just okay. I did have a strawberry cupcake I think and it was delicious! We are trying again next year with our niece and I'm excited. One thing I will stress is to make your order online before you get there. It is so much quicker than standing there waiting to make your order!
 
Another non-fan of BOG lunch. I'd even do quick serve somewhere else rather than that. IMHO, T-Rex has fun atmosphere and just so-so food. Not familiar with Mama Melrose, so won't comment. The rest of your restaurants are great.

Oh yes! If Soarin is your goal, that is definitely the best plan. lol I'm sorry, I always forget Soarin is popular.

Have you had Garden Grill breakfast before? We've found that we enjoy it better than Ohanas breakfast
 
TRex was so loud we couldn't really have a conversation. Plus the food isn't great. Unless someone in your party is a huge dinosaur fan I'd recommend you eat somewhere else.

In DS I'd recommend Homecomin or Raglan Road. Though Raglan Road has music isn't not as loud as TRex.

No j haven't had it! The only place I've eaten breakfast on property was CRT which we loved :)
 
We love Boma! I would suggest dinner at BOG instead of lunch if you can.
 
I would only do trex if you have kids who love dinos.
Otherwise, everything looks great!
 
They all look good!

Except Be Our Guest lunch we’ve eaten there twice and neither has been a good experience. There are definitely enjoyable apps and desserts, but I prefer dinner. I’ve had both roast beef (dry, not great quality meat) and turkey (super dry even with the mayo and filled with thick dry slice of turkey which made it inedible in my opinion).

I also wasn’t the biggest fan of Trex, but just because it was loud the food was alright.

I've done dinner at Sanaa, lunch at BOG, and PPO Breakfast at Garden Grill so I can speak on those... Dinner at Sanaa was fantastic. I'm sure youve heard but the bread service is great. I thought BOG was a great value for lunch. I enjoyed my meal and it was more relaxing than the typical quick service. We were able to ride soarin twice in a row after our Garden Grill breakfast (which had great character interaction and yummy food!). It was also pretty neat to be in the park before everyone else. We stopped for some great photos on the way to garden grill- Just us in the pic :)

So, I approve of those choices :rainbow:
 
I think it all sounds great! I love Bog for lunch so I am surprised to hear negative comments. Either way the restaurant is so beautiful I would not miss out eating there. Love Boma and Sanaa. T-Rex is great for atmosphere and so so on food but we had a really good meal there last time. Husband ordered steak and I had a burger and it was really good. The boys love it there so could not skip it even if I wanted to.

The only one I would skip is mama melrose. Food is terrible. It's not worth doing the Fantasmic package. You'll get in to Fantasmic no matter what time you get there and the seating is much better in regular stand. I recommend 50s Prime time or Sci-Fi dine inn for cool atmosphere and better food.

Well, we enjoyed it so much that we are paying a bit more for park hoppers just so we can have breakfast there, then hop over to AK!
Just a wonderful meal and character experience ^_^
