Too Many Princess ADRs?

[rstanley]

(I accidentally posted this in the dining plan forum...thought I might get more responses here...oops
)

I recently revised my itinerary and am rethinking a few of my princess ADRs…
...My initial itinerary had them evenly distributed throughout our 11 day trip

(Cast: Me, DH, DS11, DD6)

Now I have 2 back to back and am wondering if it’s overkill? I’d love to hear what others have experienced…

Are the experiences unique enough that it’s worth doing all 3 or should I get rid of one?

8:05am CRT (Oct 25th)
6:00pm Cinderella’s Gala Feast (Oct 28th)
8:35am Akershus (Oct 29th)

I figure you can’t go wrong with breakfast and we’ll get pics at CRT and Akershus but I’ve also heard that the dinner food at Cinderella’s Gala Feast is good and the character interaction is great…the step sisters are a “hoot” so to speak…

Just to give you a little more background…we also have the following ADRs throughout the week
Oct 24th Chef Mickey’s Dinner
Oct 25th CRT for breakfast and Kona for Dinner
Oct 26th CapnJacks Dinner
Oct 27th Ohana Dinner
Oct 28th Cinderella’s Gala Feast
Oct 29th Akershus for breakfast, Teppan Edo Late Lunch
Oct 30th Biergarten Dinner
Oct 31st Ohana breakfast, LTT Dinner
Nov 2nd Brown Derby Dinner

As you can see I have a lot of character meals

Thanks for your advice!

Heck no! These look great to me! I have 3 girls and we're doing a TON of princess/character meals when we go in November. Seriously, our kids are only little for such a short time that I feel (for us at least) that you just can't do too many. Soon enough they'll be too old and not interested in them as much, sigh. Here's my list of ADR's so you can see that you didn't do too many:

Akershus Princess Breakfast
San Angel Lunch
Chefs de France Dinner
GF Cafe Breakfast
Tusker House Lunch
1900 Cinderella Gala Feast Dinner
CP Breakfast
Cinderella's Royal Table Lunch
Liberty Tree Tavern Dinner with Minnie
Cape May Breakfast with Mnnie
Biergarten Lunch
Le Cellier Dinner
Ohana Breakfast with Lilo Stitch
Sci-Fi Lunch
Hollywood Brown Derby Dinner
1900 Park Fare Mary Poppins Breakfast
Pinocchio's Village Haus Lunch

Feel better now?

Forgot to mention that we did the 1900 Cinderella Gala dinner in February and it was awesome! Hands down, the best character meal of our trip! It's one of the meals my girls requested that we do again. The characters are sooooo much fun and the food was delish! Don't cancel that one for sure!

I don't think you have too many Princess meals. If you decide to cancel one, I definitely wouldn't cancel 1900 PF for dinner. That's the meal, out of the 3, that your DS would likely enjoy most. As long as none of the buffets are B2B, I wouldn't worry about which character was there. I did want to add that Pinocchio's Village Haus isn't TS. I wasn't sure if you knew that, since it's the only CS meal you listed. It looks like you've got a great trip planned, to me.

Oops! Sorry, about that. Here I thought I'd done so good by copying your post so I could read it as I replied. Okay, I still don't think you have too many Princess meals, & I still think you should keep 1900 PF for sure.

ETA: At least, I was thinking about your post. Since I only have a son, I was thinking about your DS, when I posted. Just looking out for the boys.

BTW, 3prettyprincesses the Pinocchio's Village Haus reply was for you. The rest was for rstanley.

I was just debating the same question! We already have Park Fare dinner and CRT lunch booked for our upcoming Dec. trip. We did the Norway lunch last year so I planned to try the other two this year. Now my oldest is begging me to book the Norway meal again too. She wants all three. Even if I can make it fit our schedule I'm afraid they will burn out on character and princess meals.
