Too far away to book ADRs but loving planning!

[3Rouselings]

I am planning my Disney trip but it’s still too far away to make any ADR’s. I am still loving having the time to really look at all our restaurant options! We will be arriving on a Sunday leaving on the following Saturday and we plan to make the most of every minute! We are planning on the Deluxe meal plan and I realize that this is a lot of food but dh is a BIG eater and we are very early risers so we would ideally do a big buffet breakfast something lighter for lunch and then a nice big supper. We were on the Deluxe plan our last trip and converted what points we had left into snacks and treats for the flight home and all our nieces and nephews!

Here is what I am thinking for reservation options. I am going to wait to see what the EMS will be before assigning days to each park but I have put together this list by park. I have read a few people say that you can’t have more than one character meal per day – is that true? I would love to hear your recommendations / thoughts / and suggestions!


Arrival Day:
Breakfast: will not be arriving until at least noon
Lunch: will not be arriving until at least noon
Supper: Hoop De Doo???

To me half the fun of the trip is planning it, so I understand why you're excited. You've got some good picks so far! You can have more than one character meal per day, so the information you heard was incorrect. People may have said that you wouldn't want to have more than one per day, because typically the character meals take longer. You may have a lot of time tied up with character meal reservations if you have more than one per day, but it is doable and can be worked in.

From the choices you've picked so far, it seems like you're interested in character meals. If that's the case, I'd suggest 1900 Park Fare. We LOVE it! The food was delicious, and the characters were a hoot. The stepsisters were an absolute riot! We loved this meal!

Happy planning!
