Too many nights in Epcot?

[workinmom]

I am thinking about changing some of our ADR's for August trip. I will probably cancel Ohana's (nothing to do with the new menu, we did this last trip) & adding Coral Reef. That would give me 3 nights in a row eating at Epcot. 1st night I planned just a CS, the other 2 would be Coral Reef & Chefs de France. (I had wanted Le Cellier, but couldn't get it) Will we be Epcot'd out???

If you have park hoppers there is no reason for you to stay there all night - is there?

Play it by ear - if you feel like staying - stay. If you are a bit burnt out or want to go somewhere else - head to the park that you really want to be at.

We eat more than half our dinners in Epcot in any given trip- we just prefer the restaurants there. Plus it is pretty convenient to just hop in to eat and hop out to MK via monorail or take the boat over to DHS...

You'll be fine!!

I can never get sick of Epcot, so I may not be the best person to ask.

I feel that Epcot is one of the best places to eat at Disney, so eating there several times in a row would be a dream to me. If you have hoppers, you could always hop over to MK or something after supper.

Last Sept. we did San Angle, Coral Reef, Le Cellier, Rose and Crown and Nine Dragons that's 5 and we watched Illuninations all 5 nights.
We just hopped over to Epcot later in the day.
Most of the best restaurants are at EPCOT.
This June have ADR's for Le Cellier, Coral Reef, Teppan Edo and Rose and Crown.

We love eating at Epcot...I find it really hard yo find a place to eat at MK so the monorail makes it really easy to hop over , have some dinner at Epcot then head back to MK...this is why I love park hoppers!

We always eat at 3 to 5 times in Epcot. This year we are going to try some new places but I keep thinking I will miss our Epcot favorites.

We always end up with lots of Epcot dinners, too. Like others have said, you don't have to stay in the park all day before or all night after. On nights when MGM or MK have evening EMH's, I try to book an early dinner (5-ish) at Epcot so it's easy to hope over to MGM/DHS or MK. Each of these parks only has one or two TS's we really like, so an Epcot dinner is perfect.

One recommendation--think about where you're going afterward when planning your dinner to cut down on unnecessarily long walks. Coral Reef and the Garden Grill are good when you're going to (or from) the MK; Rose and Crown or Chefs de France work well if heading to (or from) MGM; and save Tutto Italia and the Biergarten for true Epcot days.

Yet another vote that the best dining options are at Epcot and with park hopping you really can't go wrong.

Yep make your reservations so you can catch illuminations. We have watched if from the outside deck of a few EPCOT resturants. It was no trouble getting there from anypark. Have you rode in the front of the monorail? All you have to do is ask?

Also the water shuttle from MGM Studios to Epcot is often underused. It takes a few minutes longer but it is a relaxing ride? I think AK was the most troublesome start for a trip to EPCOT but not much.

I also can't get enough of Epcot food!!! Last trip we ate at San Angel and Le Cellier, this year were expanding our Epcot dining...Le Cellier, Chef de France, Tutto Italia, and Rose and Crown!! If it were up to DH we'd just camp outin the countries, he loves it there !!!! It is easy to love with such great food options .

I agree! We MUCH prefer the food at Epcot so hop in and out of Epcot just to eat. For my May trip I have Tutto Italia, Rose & Crown, Chefs de France, Tokyo Dining, and Le Cellier.

For our Sept trip we have Garden Grill, Chef de France, Le Cellier, Akershus, Tutto Italia, and Biergarten, (some for lunch, some for dinner and one for breakfast). We don't like the food at MGM, so usually catch the boat over to Epcot and eat lunch at Le Cellier, Rose & Crown, or Chef's de France.
