I need some advice on the timing of my ADRS!
Well let me say if it wasn't for DISboards I never would have made my ADRs and would have wasted my Dining Plan! Luckily even calling just 45 days out I was able to get most everything I wanted! (except 'Ohanas which I will try with the concierge) I even called back and found a cancellation for Chef Mickeys (that made me feel like I won the DDP lottery!
)
My question is this: With all the planning that goes into the ADR's is it still
possible to enjoy the parks? I am trying to not stress about being a slave to my reservations!
Here's an example:
One day I have Kona for breakfast at 8:00, then plan to hit a waterpark and be back at Kona for dinner at 720 p.m.
The day we're going to DHS look like this
Chef Mickeys at 720 am
Sci Fi and 11am
Brown Derby at 530
Is this realistic?
Epcot Day:
Lunch at Coral Reef 1140
Dinner at Biergarten 730
I'm planning the 'Ohana breakfast at 845 on our last day. Flight leaves at 2 -how long does breakfast usually take?
Also I have Cirque tickets for the 6 pm show - what time should I eat to make sure I get there for the preshow? Is there any place in DD that's worth making a reservation?? I have a 4pm at Fulton Crabhouse but think that might be pushing it and not sure it's a good place to eat.
Thank you, thank you in advance for helping a first-timer make sense of it all! I can't wait to get back on here with my reviews!!
